"Typically"? – I strongly doubt there are many (transsexual or non-transsexual) male transvestites who seriously believe and also expect others to believe that wearing women's clothes literally turns them into women. Ok, so I'll use their terminology - "It affirms that they are women...

Not just to "believe," but to "affirm" and to modify one's own speech and deny one's own perception of reality by using "pronouns" forced upon everybody else by the autogynephile. They insist that they are being "erased" or "deadnamed" if you stick ...

You are wrong, because transvestism and travesty aren't the same thing. Yes, there are male transvestites who are (interested in) doing travesty, but there are also many ones who are not. While Transvestism (cross-dressing) is not by definition a travesty, it often involves a convoluted view of one...

Transsexualism is rooted in Abrahamic superstitions, concerning kellipots trapping divine sparks, or in Christianity, "souls" trapped in despicablem sinful "bodies". Often trapping souls in the "wrong bodies." Ooopsie... The notion of transsexualism (transsexuality) as...

It is not true that all male transvestites are fetishists or autogynephiles. 2. It is not true that all fetishistic o...

'Men's clothes' are basically just neutral clothes that anyone can wear. I haven't seen any women walking around the streets in tuxedos or suits and ties, but they would need to get them custom made to fit and I doubt if any women could be bothered going to that much effort. Most men don't wear tux...

@RickLewis:
I appreciate your effort. Thanks!

There is no absolute certainty with science and it is possible for the scientific fact "{cats} <are> {animals}" to be changed in the future. Note the case, Pluto as one of the 9 planets which was changed to Pluto is a dwarf planet, so there are only 8 planets in our solar system. In 2006,...

Truthmaker theory is grounded on philosophical realism which itself is grounded on an illusion. Philosophical realism ..– is the view that a certain kind of thing (ranging widely from abstract objects like numbers to moral statements to the physical world itself) has mind-independent existence, i.e...

I am, but I hope the price for a successful anti-bot fight is not a permanent log-in/log-out ping-pong.

Is anyone trying to solve this annoying problem?

It is correct that there has been a significant increase of the number of violent crimes in Germany during the last three years, which is not mentioned in de Haas' book. The number of criminal non-Germans in Germany has significantly increased too, but so has the number of non-Germans in Germany. A...
