Fuck off.

And when you think you’re done fucking off, fuck off even further. Fuckhead.

her tits are fake, right?!?! pls!?!?!

I kind of get reflexively angry at this “everything’s GREAT” narrative.

I imagine there will be less opposition than there has been against trans women, since nobody thinks being female is an advantage in swimming.

This is my home town and where I’m living between Uni. It’s totally right, hen parties and stag dos are ruining the city centre. I don’t want to walk down the street at 1pm and be sexually harrassed and feel unsafe by a group of gross men who’s mission it is to just be total pricks to every human they come into…

I see that, yet again, you are attempting to gloss over the facts. You told this woman, this abuse victim, to not say that her ordeal was in any way normal, even though it is. It was stated in the piece that her therapist had given her that descriptor, and she was comforted by that. Which is where everyone decided to…

It's not my fault that you don't have the ability to grasp very simple concepts. You have absolutely no business insulting a victim the way you did. You could have just asked for clarification, instead you attacked the person telling the story and used her own words against her..... and you're calling me tactless? You…

I definitely agree. I shared more about my personal experiences in a post that is buried way down in the greys but there was some (mild) weirdness meeting my son. He is objectively a very handsome and attractive man. He also looks a lot like his father who I found very attractive. It was odd at times to be aware of…

Hi Rebekah, I've been debating whether or not to chime in here, but I'm hoping this can help clarify that in some circles, such as adoptee reunion groups, the existence of GSA is openly and matter-of-factly acknowledged. I met my Dad in my early 20's, but before I did I went to counseling — the adoptee group who…

The attraction IS NORMAL. I said this on a thread for a different story, and nobody believed me. I've been a practicing clinical psychologist for only one year, and observed textbook GSA twice. Can I prove you wrong on this? Absolutely, but anyone who would speak to a victim the way that you did is NOT worth my time,…

I'm a birthmother and GSA is common enough that when you fill out the paperwork to meet your adult child they describe GSA and ask you to talk to a therapist about it before you meet. As others have noted I'm not sure how often people act on it, but it is definitely considered common enough that they feel they should…

You've just described the right wing position on homosexuality.

as a 20 year old that has for some reason been attracting middle aged men on dating sites, thank you. it's fucking gross when middle aged men go after young women (when the young women haven't specifically sought it out - that's a completely different problem that needs to be addressed at another time) and then say…

GSA is common. GSAi (genentic sexual attraction incest) is less so.

I think that saying it was normal in terms of what she experienced in terms of attraction to her biological father. I was a victim of incest when I was a child by my biological father. I spent the vast majority of my life hating myself and not really understanding why. The therapist who helped me the most passed on…

There are loads of peer reviewed academic studies that assert that GSA is common, and therefore "normal." Acting on it is not.

Take it from an old(ish) lady who was sexually and physically abused as a kid by family; and who was in a horribly abusive relationship for five years: you are *far* more likely to live happily and come to terms with whatever has happened to you (I don't mean by that that you should or will come to forgive or feel…

Normal does not mean healthy or sane. It means that it happens fairly regularly in people who might wish otherwise. And who may have to struggle against the signals their body is sending.

The attraction is normal. Acting on it isn't, and especially if you are in a parent/child relationship. It was his responsibility to protect her from it, and he failed her. Further I would argue that he groomed her and preyed upon her.

Great point, except that this is actually a very old story.
