Obviously it would be deemed transphobic to automatically equate being trans to having a fetish.
But it would be equally obviously wrong to deny that someone who’s trans can be a fetishist.
This man identifies as a baby girl. Therefore he falls under the transgender bracket, as well as transage. And he clearly has a fetish.
The point is that while there is by no means an inevitable link, being trans and having a fetish are clearly not mutually exclusive, as some people sometimes seem to imply, apparently through “sacred caste” kind of thinking.
And it’s important to remember this when we’re looking at things from a safeguarding aspect. We are constantly told that it’s absolutely fine for some biologically male people to be in women and girl only spaces, because they’re different from other male people and don’t pose the same level of risk to female people.
The evidence would appear to show the contrary. Biologically male people are vastly more likely to have sexual fetishes - and commit sexual offences - than biologically female people, and whether they identify as trans or not is irrelevant to that. That’s one of the many reasons we insist on the importance of single sex spaces, regardless of a male person’s declared gender identity and are entirely justified in doing so.
I presume, Wonderingiforifnot, you’re not actually advocating for this individual to have access to changing rooms used by women and little girls? I think that would be a bridge too far for all but the most extremist TRA.
