I'm reading a book on transgender that I would rate maybe 3.75/5 stars.
Book: "Transgender: Fact or Fetish: Reality or Delusion?"
I'll try to describe the book in my own words using my own terms.
The book is written by a philosopher who investigates. I might dismiss some of the stuff said, in such a case, if I didn't agree with it from my own personal experience.
It seeks to tackle the question of whether a person being transgender could be a fetish had by self, but later asserts that transgender people simply see themselves as the opposite gender in their mind. So say a man with gender dysphoria tries to have sex with a woman. Well in their mind, there are two women having sex.
The book later on tackles the subject of gender dysphoria, stating that once the body "decides" it's a different gender, it's like the whole body throws up a "Error" message like a computer and regardless of conventional wisdom, sometimes nothing helps. Except, perhaps, transitioning.
Anyways, ~discussion
