Paraphilia and Sexual Diversity

Thank you for the wonderful presentation on paraphilia. It TOTALLY open my eyes about all the philias that exist out there. Some, honestly, I never would have thought. Couple thoughts on the presentations: 

1. Important distinctions on: not all pedophiles are child molesters, and not all child molesters are pedophiles. I think we should give the Gold Star Pedophiles truly a gold star. Who knows how hard that is to resist temptations like that. 
2. The wikipage is extensive, like a gold mine, and a bit overwhelming. There are definitely a lot to cover especially when most people dont talk about paraphilia. I appreciate and LOVE the video discussing different paraphilia. It's an incredible summary and really add to the presentation... But is it just me or does she talk way too fast that I have a hard time understanding? 

Lastly, Sexual diversity chapters were important to gain a better understanding of female to male transexual and male to femlae transexual. I was really surprise that the first recommendation for clients with GD is hormone treatment? Really??? Did I read it wrong or is our society really that medicalized?
