Is a good starting point, specifically, we shouldnt think of a fetish as being a disorder:
'It is only considered a disorder when fetishistic activities are the foremost source of sexual satisfaction, and become so compelling or unacceptable as to cause distress or interfere with normal sexual intercourse'

Hope this helps...
Now that's an interesting point. It's not interrupting with my intimacy. So apparently I don't qualify. Then I wonder how valid it is that those of us that aren't transitioning and experience this as a kink are genuinely and unintentionally hindering the rights of those that are transitioning and are seeking civil and legal recognitions.
