I don't think it's as much bashing per se, as that some folk can be highly opinionated and dogmatic about aspects of this... it occasionally comes out in sweeping generalisations similar to:

As you've seen - we didn't - and while it may have been an aspect of many folks during puberty (my first CD experiences began at 5 or 6 so while fetishy feelings may have come later, it certainly didn't start for that reason...) it's clear there are many different origins and ways of developing that make it impossible to make rules for.

But I hear you about dogma... it niggles me when some folk just keep coming back and shouting about their opinions as if they were gospel and there are rules to be followed - there aren't. The members here are predominantly what I would describe as TG/CD femulators - because they hold a majority view their voice is the loudest, but it's clear there are substantially more sites (and probably CDs) that lean towards the fetish rather than the TG end of things...

Personally, I believe that even our fetish friends have something of a little gender wobble going on or they wouldn't have even some aspects in common... so we should all get along on that basis...
