btw we're pro paraphilic disorders, as in, they're disorders. you don't choose them. they're also part of mental illnesses.
however! you can choose not to act on them.
just as someone who have eating disorders can choose recovery - and it doesn't stop them from being people with eating disorders, it just means they have an healthy approach and can cope with symptoms in a safe way - people with paraphilic disorders can choose not to act on the urges and cope with their symptoms in a safe way.
all people with disorders need a safe space to recover. no one chooses a disorder for clout.
