I think the elephant in the proverbial broom closet (as it was!) is that there are soooooooooo many fetish CDers... and no one wants to admit this? (esp. here! but also in the larger TG narrative world!)
there are also some truly mixed up / delusional confused toxic people that are saying or doing very extreme stuff!
I think it is quite learned to hide the fetish side of things (for obvious reason... public versus private sphere... kids and unwilling participant strangers to CDers games!... etc)
that if a CDer for whom it is mostly sexual / panty fetish / lingerie fetish / ULTRA femme presentations or clothing... taking "sexy" pics to put online and looking at others...
if they want to go in public have to hide that side of it (which makes sense!) but its' not too differing to that whole therapy thing and how one had to always play into the specific narrative to get what they want (HRT etc) ... saying they always felt like this... no it's not sexual... yes I dress feminine enough but not TOO femme... and the people who learn that they too have to play into these ideas like others before them so then the public or therapists or whatnot think that is the only way it can be legitimate
that fear that Oh god what if there was an Auto-gyn AGN type TS? how did they let them slip through! ... or the CDers whose misplaced sexual attraction in a heterosexual sense gets semi-placed on themselves BEING the female... but still digging females! (but curious about males... but only when dressed!) ... and my oh my it's complicated stuff!
I think it is also worth pointing out that yes things are getting better in many ways and more visibility and understanding and defenders... BUT!
there is also the idea that as this continues to go on (and on!) and not go away I feel like there will be many guys or people in general that feel it is their duty to shun and push against the whole LGBT and esp. Trans agenda (they're trying to turn our kids into freaks! and assault women in bathrooms! they have severe mental problems! next people will wanna marry animals and kids and BECOME animals and adult babies etc!) ... fear-mongering!
I envision that there WILL be the people who think they are fighting for the greater good of morality and values by taking a stand against "all them PC liberal whack-job types!" by going after people like us
anywho!
