I know they stopped putting out content a few years back, but I found them absolutely hilarious and would occasionally go back to their YouTube or to another podcast channel to relisten to their episodes. I tried to look them up recently, and I cannot find them - no accounts, no nothing.
Does anyone know where I can listen to their old episodes, or is this just gone forever? :(
Didn’t Wikipedia used to keep a list of cross dressing serial killers, but then that got scrubbed out, too?
It’s not just silence of the lambs, I believe a handful of serial killers were either adult cross dressers, or, their mothers dressed them up as girls. If memory serves, Ed Gein’s mother dressed him up as a girl and fawned over him when he was a child.
Not sure if it's the same one, but I remember that a brain scan study was comparing women to TiMs by having them look at pictures of men and comparing brain activity. Apparently the same areas of the brain lit up? But here's the thing, that just as easily was showing that those subjects were equally attracted to men, not that the TiMs were somehow women.
I don't think the name of the authors of this purported paper/study was ever revealed.
IIRC, the incident you're speaking of - a post on social media a couple of years ago announcing that a study would soon be published proving that TIMs' claims of having "lady brains" is rooted in clearly-delineated, very distinctive inborn neurological physical features that can be easily seen via brain scans - was the doing of crackpot British TRA Steph Richards. Richards is the AGP head of a UK-based trans website, campaign org and training institute set up mainly to advance the interests of AGP men who've decided to indulge their fetishistic cross-dressing kink FT.
The org Richards founded and runs used to be called Steph's Place, but it's now been rebranded as Translucent.

ETA: I just checked and found that my original recollection that the person who announced the study on Twitter and then got dog-piled for doing so was Steph Richards of Steph's Place/Translucent is correct.

Steph's org has recently come out with a new "briefing note" for UK MPs advising them that the UK's Gender Recognition Act must be reformed so that AGPs and other men with distrubing sex fetishes are given freer rein to ride roughshod over women's and girls' rights. Steph and Translucent's new briefing note are discussed on this new Mumsnet thread:
