We had a couple of hot discussions with @
princesitanatty about classifications (e.g. in this thread:
https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/showth...p?tid=2189). In short, all classifications "contain" generalizations and simplifications, hence inherently wrong, however, science cannot exist without classifications. Classifications change with time and with new knowledge.
Next. If someone has identified him- or herself (what is a
eady wrong, because a system cannot be classified properly from within the system) as ABC, there is a tendency to adapt own behaviour to the stereotypical behaviour of type ABC. What in turn might make the things much worse, than they were before.
Saying that, the closest definition I could find for myself is "autogynephilia" (whatever it currently means). And I would like to have the ability to look like a pretty femboi, a pretty teenage girl, a pretty sporty 18-20yo girl, a pretty sporty athletic 28yo man depending on the mood or circumstances.
Girls, femininity, female clothing, makeup, cocks (not men!) are all fetishes of mine.

Of course, they could. Like pretty much everything 😁

Yes, it can be a fetish

How? Why? A logic link is completely missing here. But it perfectly corresponds to what I wrote about identifying yourself with something. This is the problem. We identify ourselves with something we are not. About "female identity" - have a look at this thread:
https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/showth...p?tid=2915 I asked a question nobody could (dared?) to answer.

Yes, it could. Or it could ruin the life. And this is something you have to understand, nobody else can do it for you.

Absolutely, no doubts here. And I experienced it "in full" (it's documented somewhere here).

Probably, it's even a good thing. See my posts above - I'm very sceptic about HRT.

Okay. This is my perspective: i said it many times here, that aesthetics is the most important point for me. I've seen enough of transgenders, who do not look like women even remotely, what eliminates the whole TG path for me, even if I had a chronic gender dysphoria. I even stopped with crossdressing, because currently I think, that I look ridiculous in female clothing, and I do not live alone (fortunately). I want to look like "that heavily tuned and photoshopped teenage model from Instagram on that particular photo." Otherwise I would have

And "that heavily tuned and photoshopped teenage model from Instagram on that particular photo" does not exist in real life. In real life she looks different.
See my point?
