So does it mean that if you never went through a 'fetish-phase', that you aren't really transgender? Because I never got those responses - I just did some reading, learning, and pieced it all together. Even though I knew about the kink/fetish dimension, it didn't apply to me but there again, I did try to live as a 'gay man' for a while, partly because that was ascribed to me by all the Dim Bulb Spitefuls that infested my life.
