Inside The Misunderstood World Of Adult Baby Diaper Lovers (Transinfants)
huff post ^ | 03/21/2017 | Noah Michelson

Tykables, the only brick and mortar storefront in the United States dedicated to adult baby diaper lovers (ABDL), is located in Mount Prospect, a suburb of Chicago. Its customers, John-Michael Williams, the store’s owner says, include those ABDL who have a fetish or sexual interest in dressing like or pretending to be a baby; people who have a medical need for adult diapers and enjoy the brand’s options; and individuals, some of whom are on the autism spectrum, who find the diapers and child-style clothing provide a sense of comfort and stress relief.

To be clear, those in the ABDL community are not interested in sexual contact with children or babies, as some people mistakenly believe, but are interested in items and activities related to behaving like or pretending to be children. What’s more, some ABDL aren’t interested in role playing as a child at all and instead find pleasure in the texture or sound or feeling of clothing and pieces associated with the community.

Saying that people who identify as ABDL are misunderstood and maligned would be a colossal understatement. Even worse, not only do they face ridicule for having desires or inclinations that exist outside of what is considered by mainstream culture to “normal,” there are few places beyond the internet to express their identity, find community or buy goods related to their interests.

For those reasons, the mere existence of Tykables, which offers all three, is something of a marvel. What’s even more incredible to me, though, is that aside from some Mount Prospect residents who initially expressed concern about the storefront after it opened last spring, it’s operated for almost a year without incident. In fact, Williams recently told me that he hasn’t even experienced so much as someone ringing the doorbell and running away.

The answer is to drag someone like that into an alley and beat the shart out of them. To hell with their “rights.” If they want to work that hard at offending me, I’m content to let them succeed. And reap the consequences.

There is a guy who got on Social Security Disability by wearing diapers and a baby bonnet. His girlfriend received money from the government as his caregiver.

You would think the young folks (boy I sound old) would see these older been through the mill freaks in all of their ‘transwhatever’ glory and be grossed out enough to see these behaviors as the very sick delusions they are.

Oh, he might be pretty tricky getting people to believe his baloney, but just remember one thing,

We’ll never get diaper rash!

Why, I do! Thanks for asking!

And thanks to Tykables, America's only brick and morter adult diaper store.

I vaguely recall having read about something like this about a decade ago. Weird. Then there are all those live shows. There used to be a guy who used to travel around the country (Joe Crist or something like it), who held castration live shows.

This is one of those times when I would normally say to myself, “Great. Somewhere I took a wrong turn and I’ve wound up in the weird part of the Internet again.” But the address bar says ‘freerepublic.com.’ WTH?

Is there any perversion that liberals won’t try to normalize?

Rhetorical question.
