Now, if I recall correctly, Dr Hakeem does think that paraphilias are usually (always?) linked to /caused by traumas. Which means that if your minor child shows signs of them, it's a big reason for concern. Concern for your child, not shaming your child! A parent needs to see if there was abuse , porn exposure, or other trauma since paraphilias don't start in the vacuum. It would be irresponsible for an adult to just say "well, he is an oddball! Live and let live" As for behavior of fully grown adults....
I don't think paraphilias need to be outlawed but most public displays of them should at the very least not be celebrated. Genspect didn't have to kick Phil out but demonstrating approval and being all buddy-buddy with him was uncalled for. Raised eyebrows would be more appropriate. (Yes, shame has its place in a society. We don't approve of a perfectly innocent activity of public nose-picking, do we?). The man said himself that he gets off on wearing women's clothes. Shouldn't we believe him? Is the conference dealing with gender cult a proper place for a person to show off in the outfit that he finds sexually gratifying?
