Welcome to the itsafetish circle! We document examples of fetishism (primarily autogynephilia) within the trans community and discuss implications from a feminist perspective! We typically use Blanchard's typology of transsexualism as our framework.
The Rules:
Mods may remove comments and posts at her own discretion to help ensure that this community is conducive to being women-centered and maintains a healthy amount of critical analysis & intellectual curiosity. The following rules are in addition to the site wide rules.
1. Be mindful of your words. Do not promote bigotry, encourage violence, or use dehumanizing language.
2. Keep posts on-topic and in spirit with the circle. Flair posts appropriately. Use archive links for social media posts.
3. Content involving or by minors is not allowed.
4. When linking to Google docs, put a warning in title, so that users know prior to clicking.
5. No explicit pornographic material.
6. Censor images that use real women without their consent. Take a generous approach regarding blurring / censoring people who are unrelated to the displays of fetishism.
All I want is an unbiased research paper / study into what makes men ruin their lives entirely for a fetish.
It can't be testosterone or all of these TIFs would be acting similar.
I think it goes in the same vein as any other addiction like gambling.
This sounds like it would be interesting to dive into! I'll put that in my post ideas and if I'm able to do it I'll PM you when it's made :)
It's probably more of an Occam's razor than I'm making it out to be, yeah. But the idea of willingly brainwashing yourself, believing the brainwashing even though you're the one doing it / no one's making you, and then castrating yourself is the weirdest combination of sad and hilarious I can think of.
But yes, that would be interesting if you get around to it, thank you!
