Some of you may already know what this is while others may care less.. I have been seeing several new post on the main MTF forum with members suggesting ( it's their words not mine) they have no/zero " gender identities" .. They simply do not feel like a girl..
Transvestic fetishists explained :
Having thoughts of transiting your sex opposite of what you was born as in a past phase is not excluded.. It is a normal thought for some Cross-Dresser but for different reasons ..The reason why a transvestic fetishists person but not all under the T,G, umbrella would have such thoughts would simply be because a transvestic fetishists can suffer from Anatomic autogynephilia: (arousal to the fantasy of having a normative woman's body, or parts of one..) Transitioning is a temporary feeling and is never acted upon..
Being a transvestic fetishists DOES NOT make you a " Trans-Gender ".(because it is considered to be a paraphilia rather than gender identification).. Even though Transvestite or the meaning of one can be attributed to the T.G. umbrella by this definition only " the wearing of clothing or behaviour of the opposite sex from natural birth.." It doesn't just separate the two meanings because I have to assume wearing clothing is a behaviour?
As a transvestic fetishists you do not have a "Gender Identity Disorder" you just dress for the fetish purpose .. Transvestic fetishists can also go through similar phases that T.S.'s and T.G.s go through with their dressing progression but can not be mistaken for the same reasons..Unlike some T.G.'s and *all* T.S's ( some T.G.s do find sexual gratification in cross-dressing at times )"Sexual gratification" is the drive that makes the progression for transvestic fetishists ..We may assume that sexual gratification has left us but in studies it has been proven that in time, sexual gratification decreases and becomes an antidote to anxiety or depression or contributes to a sense of peace and calm.. But it is still there sometimes through small un-noticed forms of arousal ..
The above were things I have learned through a combination of different outlets through the internet below this I will share studies done by Dr. Blanchard in 1991 on how he defined a fetishism relating to cross-dressing.
Fetishism As in Blanchard (1991), a patient was classified
as fetishistic if he responded positively to the single questionnaire item, ‘‘Do you think that certain inanimate objects
(velvet, silk, leather, rubber, shoes, female underwear, etc.)
have a stronger sexual attraction for you than for most other
people?’’
Unless asked asked a civil question for concerned people about this subject I will not respond to any arguments about the subject.. I only posted this thread for hopes that maybe some will have a better understanding ..I DO NOT feel that because I have called attention to this subject that falling under this subject makes me or others who do, any better or worse in anyway..
Thank you for reading..
