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.
