Interesting view of the Cass Review

Not sure if this has been discussed on here before?
Was looking up summaries on Cass to help me raise questions in a training I'm going to and came across this. Very interesting to read a critical reading of the review (and even more helpful for prep around understanding the POV from those who have a different response to it than me/most of us on here).
Would appreciate peoples' thoughts/reactions.

Steph says they felt they wanted to be like their sister from an early age and cross dressed often from then on. So the desire did not suddenly come on in middle age in their case. Marrying and having children in spite of it is hard to understand though.

You shouldn't necessarily take this at face value @ScrollingLeaves. As Bosky said:

It is smoke and mirrors: middle-aged, heterosexual males re-writing their personal histories in order to appropriate the HSTS/effeminate male homosexual childhood experience and pass it off as their own.

Steph sounds typical of the heterosexual male late transitioner. It's convenient for them to create a narrative which makes them resemble effeminate gay males. So-called trans children are also useful. It can't be a fetish if it's something that's also experienced by pre-pubescent children, can it?
