I don’t participate in the fantasies of those who can’t accept what they actually are while calling me 'phobic' for refusing to accept what they pretend to be.
Because women are so often scolded for following their instincts where trans-identifying men are concerned, I think it’s time for a discussion of transvestic fetishism and the dangers its practitioners can pose to women.
TF, or autogynephilia, is a paraphilia/fetish that involves dressing in women’s clothing for purposes of sexual gratification. While not all of the men who practice it are dangerous, TF has been seen as a red flag in law enforcement circles for decades.
Paraphilias often cluster, and men with TF often present with other fetishes; most commonly voyeurism and exhibitionism, but these are hardly the only ones. This is why we see TIMs masturbating in women’s spaces, or taking lewd photographs of themselves outdoors where they could get caught. The risk of being seen only adds to their arousal.
Paraphilias also escalate; like a drug addict, the fetishist must perform ever-more deviant acts in order to achieve the sexual high he is chasing. These warped desires can take over a person’s entire life, and indulging in them only makes the urges stronger.
One of the images below is of a man named Dennis Rader, although if you’ve heard of him, you probably know him instead by the name he chose for himself: BTK.
Rader, who murdered at least ten people, also played elaborate crossdressing games in which he posed as his own victims to recreate the crime scene and then took photographs, which helped him to relive the rush of the kill. In this photograph, Rader is mimicking the pose in which he left a victim, substituting his own body for those of the women and girls he tortured and murdered.
This sort of self-insertion lies at the very heart of TF. It plays a large part in the formation of the fantasy the fetishist desires to fulfill, and allows him to practice and refine his rituals for the maximum amount of sexual satisfaction. It helps to solidify the fantasy, and makes it easier for the TF to eventually bring that fantasy out of the realm of his imagination, and into the living world.
In these photographs, these men become the object of their own twisted desires: both victim and predator, both powerful and powerless, and they keep them close at hand so as to be able to recall or imagine the thrill of taking lives.
Rader is, of course, far from the only serial sexual murderer with a liking for women’s clothing, or who enjoyed dressing up as one of his own victims. I can name half a dozen off the top of my head, from Ed Gein, who was the model for Buffalo Bill, to Doil Lane, a serial child rapist/murderer who enjoyed wearing his victims’ panties, to Russell Williams, a colonel in the Canadian Air Force who murdered two women and photographed himself posing in their underwear.
Another paraphilia often found with TF/AGP is pedophilia. It’s common for pedophiles with TF to enjoy dressing as children of their own age of attraction; some of these men will even go out in public like that, in order to enjoy the sexual thrill they get from doing so.
The transage movement, with its claim that adults of normal intelligence can be children on the inside, has attracted a large number of men like this, and many spend a great deal of time online interacting with minors, while pretending to be children themselves.
Sexually deviant men are the main beneficiaries of the trans rights movement. Others are being manipulated into mutilating themselves, but predatory TFs identify as trans specifically so as to be able to coerce others into participating in their sex play by treating them like women - and so as to have access to vulnerable women whom they can sexually exploit, whether that comes in the form of filming themselves masturbating in a women’s bathroom, walking around a women’s shelter with a visible erection, or being put in a women’s prison when they commit a crime.
The trans rights movement has been a gift to predatory men, and must be stopped if women are to have any safety anywhere, even in women’s spaces. It’s
@salltweets Every time I see this type of post, I ask for a list of people born from a third or subsequent gamete. I’ve been asking for a long time - literally years - and have asked it of dozens of different people.
I’m still waiting for the list.
@miroirdufou@LoudBonnet “Woman” is the descriptor of an adult human female, just as “mare” is the descriptor of an adult equine female. It is a classification based on biological sex and age.
@nbjansen@jk_rowling@Riley_Gaines_ You’re confusing the social construct of gender stereotypes with personality. No one conforms 100% to the stereotypes associated with societies’ general expectations of their sex. “Woman” and “man” are not “spectrums”. Current gender ideology is regressive and confining.
@sappholives83@sevenfee7 That’s not how some serious cognitive impairments work. It’s perfectly possible to not understand the potentially serious consequences of actions. It’s entirely probable he doesn’t “get” the concepts of distance, gravity or, indeed, crocodiles.
@Jim_Giraffe_@DanicaPriest It’s okay to admit you didn’t read the first post properly mate, we’ve all made a skim-reading mistake at some point. Only fragile insecure people have problems fessing up to it.
The UK’s puberty blocker trial is a textbook example of what Dr. Harriet Hall called Tooth Fairy Science: research conducted on a phenomenon without ever questioning whether the phenomenon exists.
Hall explained that researchers could collect data that are reproducible and statistically significant on how much money the Tooth Fairy leaves, which coins she prefers, whether she pays more for molars, or when the child leaves a note — but without asking whether the Tooth Fairy exists, the entire endeavour is meaningless.
Over the next three years and beyond, the NHS will medicalise “trans kids” and meticulously gather data on bone density, the psychological effects of puberty suppression, and body-image satisfaction.
But all the results will be meaningless because they’re studying something that doesn’t exist.
Ethical research would begin at the same place, with the young person’s adoption of a transgender identity and the diagnosis of “gender incongruence,” but it would travel in the opposite direction.
Instead of accepting a culturally-influenced identity as a condition in need of medical treatment, meaningful research would investigate what ordinary developmental struggles are being misread by so many young people growing up in this era saturated with the messaging of trans activism.
It would investigate which cultural messages are disrupting identity formation and distorting the adolescent’s sense of self, driving the widespread adoption of this fashionable identity.
Studying "trans kids" and "children with gender incongruence" is as pointless as studying the Tooth Fairy.
@nbjansen@jk_rowling@Riley_Gaines_ “Woman” and “man” are not “gender” descriptors. The words you’re looking for there are “feminine” and “masculine”. “Woman” is the noun to name an adult (age) female (sex) human (species), just as “mare” names an adult female equine. “Man” is the male equivalent.
As a disabled woman, you don't speak for me. If I need to undress, I do not want to share that space with a male. If I request same sex intimate care support, I do not want a man to provide it. Disabled women deserve dignity and privacy.
@owenjonesjourno Funny how women wanting their own spaces are called “genitals obsessives” as if that’s the only way to tell the sexes apart…there was never any problem distinguishing men from women when deciding to which people to deny the vote, was there?
Do you want to know what the women called TERF’s believe?
Buckle up. Here it is:
Women are adult human females.
Men are adult human males.
No man is a woman.
Woman, man, boy, girl, female, male are all sex based terms.
No human being has or can change sex.
Femininity and masculinity are socially created and imposed.
Being feminine is not a condition of being female.
Being masculine is not required to be male.
Men and boys can be feminine.
Women and girls can be masculine.
"Transwomen" are men.
Lesbians are women who are sexually attracted to other women.
Gay men are men sexually attracted to other men.
Legal sex just means a man has changed his identity documents to claim to be a woman.
Gender ideology is bullshit.
No child is born in the wrong body.
Puberty blockers and cross sex hormones are sterilisation of primarily homosexual or autistic youth.
"Trans" isn’t a coherent demographic of people.
"Trans" is a man made concept.
Safeguarding of women’s boundaries is important.
Safeguarding children is paramount.
Female spaces are necessary.
No males in female sport.
When we say female, we’re saying it to reference both women and girls. Otherwise, we’ll be specific about women or girls.
Nonbinary is the equivalent of emo or goth, it’s a phase and doesn’t deserve or warrant legislative validation.
Females are oppressed on the basis of being female, aka sex. Don’t believe us? Look to women in Afghanistan.
While males are also entitled to male only spaces, they’re very different in society and law to female spaces.
Women’s rights matter.

@itvracing Perhaps the answer to the Sandown going situation is for them to give up the Friday flat card to another track. That would give them more time and freedom to water for the jumpers. Maybe the demands of the mixed meeting are too different to reconcile these days.
@itvracing@Sean_Bowen_@GBRacing If you had to choose between being champion jockey another 5 times or winning each of the Gold Cup, CH and National at some point in the next 5 years, which would it be?
