I'll see what I can dig out. Most of my files are on the old desktop computer, not on this lappy.
I've never come across any research that's credibly shown that persons with a paraphilia are more likely to have or to develop other paraphilias. Paraphilias tend to be very specific to the individual, so surmising that a cross-dresser will be more likely to become a paedophile or a coprophile than a "normal" person would be, is pretty much just crass scaremongering of the same sort that pushed the belief that the majority of homosexuals were also child molesters, given the chance.
In my opinion the TERF thesis isn't sustainable - where's their evidence (beyond a handful of perverts who would manipulate access in any available way) that transgender persons are merely cross-dressers waiting for the opportunity to rape "real women" and/or invade their "safe spaces", rather than people with genuine gender identification issues? - and although paraphilias can be a partial result of social conditioning (enough exposure to solely-female company and clothing may,if you'll pardon the pun, engender a desire to dress in female clothing in a minority of people so exposed), I'm of the opinion that the roots of paraphilias lie earlier in human development in the infant years, if they're a social or developmental issue at all.
When I talk about social conditioning, I tend to be talking about how we're conditioned during the years (4-16 or 18) where we're compelled to come together with others via schooling, and are inculcated with ideas that are consonant with what "the Establishment" requires.
, but I was just wondering how you would refute it, or what alternative explanations there could be beyond 'crossdressing bad', even if you accept the results of the studies they are basing this shit on. Like maybe people fitting certain stereotypical categories would be more likely to be convicted for stuff (as these studies only include people who were actually caught)
so what's wrong with slashfic or wanting to be like david cronenborg? Just asking to be reassured there's nothing like intellectual snobbery going on here. Of course not.
