A revert I'm unhappy with

I added the following at the outset: Recently-coined names for paraphilias (abasiophilia, algolagnia, etc.) typically have a Greek origin.

This was reverted by EvergreenFir because it was not documented.

Documentation is not required for items easily verifiable. Anyone who goes to a dictionary can see these terms are coined from Greek. Is a source saying so really required?

Attraction towards trans people is not a paraphilia

Stating that attraction towards trans men or trans women is a paraphilia is pretty obviously transphobic. Attraction towards, say, intersex people isn’t included which suggests that attraction towards trans people is some sort of fetish, which is very transphobic rhetoric. 89.190.193.149 (talk) 03:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

@89.190.193.149 I think "androphilia" (attraction to males) and "gynephilia" (attraction to females) should be added in order to make it clear that the attraction to trans people is not necessarily different to attraction to cis people. 2804:14D:9081:4084:40BF:6785:4E:D9FF (talk) 14:29, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Paraphilia are atypical (irregular) sexual interests. Would you call transsexuals typical or atypical? Considering they actually usually don't wish to be transsexual but have to become this by surgery because they wish to become of the other (typical) gender. And considering this. What would you call people attracted to transgenders (instead of the man or woman this transgender wishes be), typical or atypical? 163.158.1.136 (talk) 19:37, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Contrary to what is asserted in this article, paraphilias are not necessarily atypical (sexual partialism for women's bare breasts is very common indeed, but it's still a paraphilia), what they are is acquired: that is, not innate (a person isn't born with any particular paraphilia, they acquire it over time; even if the acquisition occurs very early in their life). Now, if a person came into the world with a sexual predisposition to find all genders attractive, and then subsequently found that their attraction specialised in trans people only, the initial attraction would have been innate, but the specialisation would have been the acquired part of their specific sexuality. There is nothing atypical in this, nor is there any sense in which the paraphilia is abnormal simply by virtue of being a paraphilia. Nuttyskin (talk) 02:45, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Coulrophilia

Coulrophilia is the paraphilia involving sexual attraction to clowns, mimes and jesters. 2600:1700:54C:B010:2DE4:5480:5D1D:C5BB (talk) 00:15, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Autohybistropyilia

autohybistropyilia is the attraction to oneself as a serial killer. This should be added in order to make it a more complete list. 2804:14D:9081:4084:40BF:6785:4E:D9FF (talk) 14:27, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

If you're going to clutter the place up with jawbreakers, at least learn how to spell them properly. The word you mean is autohybistrophilia; though I dispute if anyone actually has this as a paraphilia: simply fancying yourself in the mirror, wearing dark clothes and a ski mask isn't quite the same. It might help you feel aroused; but not even a Death Row inmate considers that to be their principal sexual identity.

Autohomoeroticism and Autosapphoeroticism

These are usually paired up with AAP and AGP, but they're extremely prevalent in the modern age and I believe they should be added to the master list. 2804:14D:9081:8545:40BF:6785:4E:D9FF (talk) 14:48, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

What are paedophilia and zoosadism doing in these lists

Paedophilia and zoosadism are sexual desires aimed at real non-consensual sex. In this sense they rank as sexual disorders and not as paraphilia!163.158.1.136 (talk) 19:40, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
