To which paraphilias are you referring?

Transvestic paraphilias. www.msdmanuals.com/home/mental-...

Oh, you're only talking about extreme forms of transvestism? I thought you were talking about all transvestism.

Well I would suggest all transvestites do it for sexual reasons. It is a fetish. I do not have data, bit come on - do you doubt this? Some transvestites are severely disordered and probably dangerous.

Should have used a different source then. Cross-dressing isn't always sexual and not all fetishes are paraphilias. Once again, I ask you to specify what fucking subset of people you're talking about.

Yes. If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you.

Why did you use a source you didn't believe?

I merely point out that these paraphilias and fetishes exist. The details we may disagree on. I want to know how you keep the fetishists, transvestites out but allow transwomen in. How do you tell the difference?

Except that you don't believe the source you tried to use to mischaracterize a paraphilia. Why should anybody trust what you say?

The DSM is under constant revisions it is a provisional document. It is not a holy book. I have areas of disagreement as do many people. That does not mean I disagree with it all. If you disagree with any of it, then say what and why.

And since the same source specifies that the disorder doesn't equate to a sense of belonging to the other sex, I also ask once again: why do you believe cross-dressers are entering changing rooms assigned to the opposite gender?

Because it is "affirming" for them. Do look up autogynephilia which is an end-point here.

According to whom? You?
