By the DSM V's own admission, the vast majority of those who "transition" late in life (and are not gay); have transvestic fetish disorder, or originally had it, and it has progressed into autogynephillia. For these men the main motivation is being around women, and being accepted as woman, especially by women. This is why they force themselves into women's spaces, and hassle lesbians to date them. This needs to be revealed to women, as the ideologies behind it (pomo and queer theory) are based on sexual libertarianism for men. Basically it says all men should respect other mens sexual desires, and women should just go along with it or they are mean.
Under transvestic disorder the DSM V states: "Autogynephilic fantasies and behaviors may focus on the idea of exhibiting female physÂiological functions (e.g., lactation, menstruation), engaging in stereotypically feminine beÂhavior (e.g., knitting), or possessing female anatomy (e.g., breasts)." Many of these men will take hormones, as it is part of their fetish i.e. they think doing so makes them more "womanly". Which is one of the reasons the "living as a woman" for x amount of time is a misnomer. And obtaining a GRC under those conditions, is not a million miles away from what has been proposed. I also think it is futile to argue that men with body dysmorphia, are different from these men. Because men with these fetishes also often desire to change their bodies, due to their fetish. The underlying cause is a fetish that should be treated, not indulged in.
Some of these men may consider themselves bisexual (or another fancy word for it) as they think it is "womanly" to sleep with other men, again this is all part of their fetish. It is not new that men think sleeping with other men makes them "womanly". If ones reads case histories and accounts by gay men. They will find gay men often talk about how they worry about their voices getting higher, if they sleep with men etc. This is simply due to misogyny.
I also think other explanations for their suicide claims should be investigated, because the DSM V says under "comorbidity": "Transvestism (and thus transvestic disorder) is often found in association with other paraphilias. The most frequently co-occurring paraphilias are fetishism and masochism. Oneparticularly dangerous form of masochism, autoerotic asphyxia, is associated with transvesÂtism in a substantial proportion of fatal cases."
Whatever ones personal feelings about the fetishes transvestic disorder or autogynephilia. Females should not be legally forced to participate in a mans fetish against our will. I do not believe that is a "civil right" men should have. And despite TA's putting some gay male Mtt's up as their spokesmen, and a few Ftt's. The vast majority do fit the description of late transitioning autogynephilies. Women have a right to know this, as most think mtt's are innocuous gay men, and nothing could be further from the truth.
