Wow, no I have not, thanks for sharing! That was a very interesting and informative article. A lot of the issues discussed in it I had noticed/heard of but never knew the proper terms nor was I given any research (because as they stated, it’s elephant left ignored.)

To be honest, I wish people in the trans community were more willing to give out research as a whole. This fetish is definitely real, but I don’t think every trans persons dysphoria comes from either their fetish vs hyper femininity/masculinity (because a big problem being faced rn is gnc/butch women being pressured into turning trans, even when they have little to no dysphoria. all the “dysphoria” gnc people recieve is just because social norms tell them women arent allowed to do stereotypically masc things but that’s obviously false.) I would like to hear more research on gender dysphoria itself and it’s causes because of this, but until they’re willing to listen to an accept it, it’s hard to differentiate fetishists using their condition for the sexual fantasy vs people struggling with whatever else.
