Bailey and Littmans findings make the trans community angry because the research supports that for some trans females, (not all but some) they transition due to a sexual kink.
I mean that’s sexuality, isn’t it? You don’t control what your kinks are. But you phrase it like it isn’t so?
That they can only be sexually excited by being a woman.
Hmm… So? Is it different than thinking of being a women? What’s the line differentiating them from other trans women?
I mean attraction has a strong link to sexuality but phrasing it as a just a kink seems dubious to make it seem like a mental health problem.
Evidence gathered from scientific research studies of reports from individuals.
As for your other questions. These are addressed in the paper.
This paper is from 2007, which means its 20 years old and means a lot of additional research has since been done. Some times terminology changes in science and I should add that a lot of researchers coin their own terms for things. so that can make it tricky when reviewing literature. but in studies, the terms are always defined. so those definitions will be in this paper.
So I also would suggest looking at this link which shows papers that have cited this 2007 paper to see what other researchers have said about the topic and what bailey or his grad students have added to it.
There are 55 of these. some more relevant than others to the topic than others.
Can you explain more about this?

I’m just trying to understand.
