Over at Crossdream Life one member presented the following quote, showing that the similarities between trans crossdreamers and cis women may even go further than that.
'But connected to the arousal by "femininity" is the idea of identification. Many women look at other women and feel a bond that is both physical and emotional. “It’s like I was imagining what it’s like to be in her body,” said the young woman who liked watching Emma Stone in La La Land. “I didn’t want to have sex with her. I wanted to be her.”'
The quote is from an article in Psychology Today that looks at sexuality in women's friendships.
