To me, it’s significant that we refer to ourselves as “girls” not “women.” Women have responsibilities, girls just wanna have fun. (Interestingly there’s a “boi” subgroup within the lesbian community, who dress and act like young guys — who also don’t have mortgages to pay or kids to feed.) Every CDs has his own particular set of motivations, but I think escapism is often a motivation for many of us. In that sense it’s not that different from people who do Burning Man, or the Renaissance Faire or put on a Starfleet uniform for a chance to be someone else for awhile.
