Is Transgenderism the result of a fetishization of the opposite sex?
>implying there are 'opposite' sexes
that's a really binary and outdated pow anon

What's a pow? A fad?

point of view

Highly unlikely. Especially in cases where the condition manifests before puberty.
It might explain things like transvesticism or AGP but not transsexualism.
>>5211620
so it was a typo?

sexuality doesn't begin at puberty though. It's just far more intensified with the hormones. not saying OP is right but that's weird reasoning. you dont remember having crushes on classmates in early grade school?
It's not really possible to 'fetishize' the 'opposite' sex because fetishization is specific to objects that aren't really sexual in nature, but most people of any sex have sexual organs or whatever.
Still, no, because presumably fetishization requires some kind of sexual attraction, and I know asexual trans people.

respect my pronouns pls
I'd say it's more about rebellion and iconoclasm toward your own sex and the expectations placed on it. Self destruction so that a person can begin redetermining themselves under their own ideology.
It makes it a sad thing that so many trans people just end up swallowing a cocktail of toxic culture and more demands and expectations and criticisms from the weird sub-society they drifted into.

No
that would make like every straight person a tranny
I think the best example I can give of being transgender is literally losing your sense of balance because your brain expects there to be breasts on your chest.
>>5211608
No, it's the result of being born with a brain similar to the opposite sex due to incorrect amounts of prenatal hormones, quite similar to how homosexuals are born.

uneven breasts, but then I'm the same way. I'd still smother her in my love.

no.

hence some may not notice it, or feel the urge to act on it, before puberty, even though it is already there.
