I think I'm in the same boat as you Pansy-Mae in regards to the 100% female pill. It's hard to say why exactly the female pill is much more alluring than the male one. Maybe it's because we're trying to emulate women to a certain extent by growing breasts?
"Chicken and egg" question again I think.
I believe there is a lot in Vitale's theory and on that basis, my brain has been programmed to expect female hormones.I have always had a need to express my female side. I want breasts because that is the ultimate outward sign if 'femaleness'. To grow breasts I need female hormones be they synthetic or phyto-. However my body is male and being realistic there is nothing anyone can do about that. My 'magic pill' would simply bring body and brain in line with each other, but the reason I would go female rather than male, given a choice is that the brain is in charge and the brain is programmed to want oestrogens.
OTOH, if the question is actually "If you could go back to your time in your mothers womb and alter her hormonal balance at the critical point, to give your brain a male slant, would you?" Then yes I would do that because I believe my brain was brainwashed into being different to the body it inhabits.
