The science of this particular area of human behaviour is still in its infancy. Proponents of the current dominant "transgender identity" paradigm have an enormous political interest in dissociating themselves clearly from anything that smacks of sexual fetishism, understandably so when the reactionary element in our culture is so quick to reach for the "don't let those perverts into our women's bathrooms" response. Perhaps once all the relevant political battles have been won, those dissidents who insist that evidence points to a much more varied and nuanced experience will be allowed to have a voice again. Ironic that those who love to wave the rainbow flag are not always open to the whole spectrum of human sexual experiences, especially when it doesn't suit their political programme.
