Firstly E.B. is a science and Blanchard doesn't subscribe to accepted notions of scientific proof or discourse. He is a quack and charlatan who, when convenient, tries to throw in some vague associations with E.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-69538297596672664312017-03-19T03:28:31.652-07:002017-03-19T03:28:31.652-07:00//They can think of themselves as 'really'...//They can think of themselves as 'really' cis men with a 'kink', rather than someone with gender dysphoria who really needs to think about and come to terms with their gender issues in some way.//<br /><br />I suspect that is one of the reason some crossdreamers stop taking part in this section of transgender culture. In the hierarchy of transgressions being a perverted man is better than being a transgender woman. I try to stress the fact that having crossdreaming fantasies do not necessarily mean that you are gender dysphoric or a transgender woman. We are all living somewhere on a continuum (or continuums). But maybe the some of those that are truly transsexual are those who need this kind of out-of-jail card the most.<br /><br />As for female homosexuality being fundamentally different from the male one: This is another effect of the aggressive male/coy female syndrome. As soon as you accept that women may be a liberated, proactive, aggressive and promiscuous as men, the whole theory falls apart.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-85025959085133466212017-03-16T16:25:31.633-07:002017-03-16T16:25:31.633-07:00James Cantor:

It is therefore possible that male homosexuality is a paraphilia, whereas female homosexuality is not."<br /><br />"Overall, homosexuality and the paraphilias appear to share the features of onset and course (both homosexuality and paraphilia being life-long), but they appear to differ on sex ratio, fraternal birth order, handedness, IQ and cognitive profile, and neuroanatomy. Although there have been some reports on prevalence and on physical height, these literatures are not yet reliable enough to be informative. Thus, considered together, the existing data seem more consistent with the conclusion that homosexuality is a characteristic distinct from the paraphilias."<br /><br />"Because only few paraphilic interests have received much scientific attention, it also remains possible that each paraphilia is associated with its own, novel set of correlates, and that homosexuality is no more novel in its profile of correlates than would be any other paraphilic interest. <br /><br />Thus, although homosexuality is probably better said to be distinct from the paraphilias, that conclusion is still quite tentative."<br /><br /><br />https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3310132/Lisa Mullinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268319043907362365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-18745723042586143992017-03-16T15:53:52.053-07:002017-03-16T15:53:52.053-07:00LOL I love it, wish I had written it.
Cantor is ...LOL I love it, wish I had written it. <br /><br />Cantor is very conflicted about his homosexuality. He did a paper on trying to prove that it was a sexual paraphilia and came to the conclusion that 'not all the evidence was there yet but it might be....'. You almost get the feeling that he would feel better if he could think of himself as 'really' a heterosexual man with a paraphilia.<br /><br />I have have seen that thinking with some trans women (virtually all part time) who self identify as having AGP. Psychologically it is less threatening to them. They can think of themselves as 'really' cis men with a 'kink', rather than someone with gender dysphoria who really needs to think about and come to terms with their gender issues in some way.Lisa Mullinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268319043907362365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-47330911804073253332017-03-15T06:08:17.247-07:002017-03-15T06:08:17.247-07:00@Joanna

How ironic if he thought it did.//<br /><br />I do think Cantor got pissed at Felix for pointing out that he was gay. That had apparently nothing to do with anything.<br /><br />Of course it does.<br /><br />They are suffering from the kind of scientism that some natural scientists seem to fall prey to: The idea that if you are a "real" scientist you are automatically disinterested and objective. Anyone who knows anything about the history of science know that this is not true, including the best natural scientists. Maybe it is this lack of insight into the importance of cultural and social context that makes them make this mistake. <br /><br />You know me, I am not that fond of the post-structuralist extremism, but they definitely have a point when they argue that language and symbols are part of a larger culture system that is oppressive if you cannot see through it.<br /><br />Blanchard has simply repackaged the 19th century mistake of believing gender expression, gender identity and sexual orientation are three sides of the same thing. But he is so deeply embedded in the prejudices of those days that he does not see it.<br /><br />@Jen,<br /><br />Now that it is interesting. Women want to be feminine men?

It is ...//Jack is this a real quote from Cantor?//<br /><br />It is not a real quote. But this was the message he gave to me when I engaged him on twitter, questioning his real insight into things trans. This was science. He knew better than me, because he was a scientist.<br /><br />This is ironic on so many levels. Not only does the trans experience give you a unique position to understand what it means to be trans, and question theories that misunderstand trans, but also because so many of the trans activists who argue against the Blanchard clan is as educated as they are -- and more. And that applies to me as well.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-82425932803313154472017-03-15T03:08:51.212-07:002017-03-15T03:08:51.212-07:00I suspect the quote is not genuine although the in...I suspect the quote is not genuine although the intent behind it certainly could be. joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-38243998078585325372017-03-15T02:53:03.645-07:002017-03-15T02:53:03.645-07:00"We are scientists and our facts are always f..."We are scientists and our facts are always facter that the facts of those who experience such conditions. What do they know?"<br /><br />Jack is this a real quote from Cantor? if so what a complete idiot. To say that gender dysphorics don't understand what they are facing is a complete cop out because we most certainly do. But what I have been pointing out in my blog of late more and more is that despite these wackos the rubber hits the road moment is having to deal with transitioning transgender people on a day to day basis. In other words, as young gay or heterosexual people transition they need to be treated like human beings and so the baloney being spewed out by Blanchard, Kay Brown and others will not matter one whit. <br /><br />We are missing major pieces of the puzzle and this conjecture has clearly been cooked up for self-serving purposes of prejudice or to protect a self-explanation of a transition (as in Brown's case).<br /><br />I don't see anyone picking up the torch of this horrible theory and as more people come to know a trans person it will fall away into history as just another failed attempt to marginalize a group of people.joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.com
