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.
Pedestrian crossings are pieces of safety equipment. Any damage to safety equipment would be highly illegal. The fact that local councils are themselves deliberately defacing this same piece of safety equipment via painting them so as to make them ambiguous and unsafe has been pointed out as a problem, but they seem to be getting away with their vandalism. They have even been saying accidental tyre marks on these crossings are a transphobic hate crime, so I imagine they would class chalk slogans as hate crime too.
If tyre marks on a road surface are hate crimes then they better put red velvet ropes around them to stop people walking on them, walking on things is what you do to things you hate, trampling the flag.

Blind people who complained that their guide dogs did not recognise these rainbow crossings were also called transphobic. Old people with dementia who were confused by the crossings were similarly branded as bigots.
there is one I came across about a mile or so away, I had no idea it was there I was very confused myself if it was actually a crossing for people and decided not to use it and carried on walking until I got to a real crossing.
