sometimes_miss, it really feels like you and I have read completely different documents. The author has made very clear that the fetishistic aspect of cross-dressing for a lot of cross-dresser becomes less important after a while. A direct quote here:
The erotic and fetishistic properties are often reported by FC individuals to subside as one ages. As the fetishistic aspects diminish, the most commonly reported continuing motivation is that FC makes the individual feel self-soothed, less stressed, and more comfortable as a result
I think the author is doing us a favor by offering counselors a balanced story, depathologizing/normalizing cross-dressing behavior, while being honest about the sexual aspect of it. I assume most counselors actually do read past the title. While 'fetishistic cross-dressing' may be a bit of a misnomer, assuming that there's no fetishistic or erotic aspect to cross-dressing at all for the majority of people is just factually wrong.
