What is being claimed that this is evidence for? That these MtF transitions are “essential” or “primarily” a fetish, and not an brain-intersex condition?
It seems intuitive to me that if one has body dysphoria, sexual activity would generally aggravate that dysphoria, and that it might be much more comfortable to be sexual, if one imagines that they’re in a body that is non-dysphoric.
Such that I don’t think I would be that surprised to find out that actually the brain-intersex theory is true, and also, that MtF transitions report masturbating to / while thinking about themselves in a female body, before they transition.
Are you claiming that this observation is strong evidence against a (correctly or incorrectly privileged) brain-intersex hypothesis?
