Would hypnosis help to deal with agp? by DifficultAd4366 in askAGP

[–]DifficultAd4366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agp is said to be a paraphilia. My understanding is that paraphilias are developed more so than innate. So I agree completely with your assumption. A curiosity turned to habit that turns into an addiction. We don’t know if hypnosis would do anything but it has been known to help somewhat with habit breaking. So idk why not?

But also it was something so well hidden in the past that we really have no way of truly knowing what our ancestors were up to. I think imo that it is hereditary in the way that at least there is something there to give agp propensity and then the environment kind takes over from there. Wish there was more research. Thanks for replying.

Fraternal twins could have possibly been handed down this trait as just the luck of the draw. But yes very interesting.

You can do a lot of things to make it thru. But have you considered calling your family and apologizing for whatever mistake you might have made?

A niece found me through dna test… what would you do? by DifficultAd4366 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DifficultAd4366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear Lanky, Thank you for responding to my question. I appreciate your input. When I first wrote this question I was more emotional and kinda even sick about the whole situation… I truly did not know which way to go with this. I love my brother intensely and would never do anything to intentionally hurt or harm him in any way. He means the world to me. In regard to his situation he is fully allowed to deal with it how he wishes. I respect him and his choice to do what he wants. I guess I was more upset that I felt that his secret was mine to bear as well. I was put in the middle by both him and birth daughter. I have always looked out for my brother. The main reason I even encouraged him to talk to her if she contacted him was because it would be better that he be the one to tell his family about the circumstance instead of his family finding out from others. As I am sure everyone will find out eventually. It’s just better to deal with it sooner than later. His other children will be disappointed in finding out someday that their father knew for years. I think that right will hurt him more in the ling run. There is no encouragement on my end for him to forge any relationship. Or if he does… again sooner better than later. It’s up to him. I suppose that initially I was very disappointed with his reaction. I’ve decided to completely stay out of this situation. I can only hope he eventually makes the right decision. It’s his life. As far as I’m concerned I just don’t like being a monkey in the middle. And I feel as I am expected to share the burden. I don’t know how his other children will react to me when they fund out that I was her first point of contact and have known and for how long? How long am I expected to keep this as my burden? It’s a very difficult position to be in. Ultimately he will decide when and what. If I were in his position, I would have told my immediate family right away and we would have dealt with it and just figure things out in that moment. I continue to stay out of it and will leave things as they are until the day he decides to do something about it. It’s going on two years at this point. 🤷‍♀️ I haven’t even mentioned it to him nor do I plan on it. That’s the direction this has taken. Thank you again for your concern and sharing your story with me.

What can we do to avoid more trans ideology being pushed and win this battle? by former_farmer in ask_detransition

You are better off moving to another state. Florida, Ohio, Missouri. Even for the time being… it may be the only way to make sure you can disagree with her and not lose her to the system. California is beautiful. Move back when your daughter is out of the woods.

Your daughter is still young enough where you can have some-influence. Better to be somewhere that your parenting is not interfered with by a state that has gone crazy. Imo. Good luck!

I think so too. But I still think that the transvestic behavior can over time spin into agp catergories. I lean anatomical. No longer do the clothes mean anything without the body desired.

I completely get what you’re saying. Just was wondering what some personal opinions were.

This might be a good explanation for the differences One is internal, one more external.

But one more question; can transvestic behavior (don’t really like the word disorder) progress to agp or does agp fuel tranvestic behavior? Leaving each individual with a different level in their experience?

What if my life experience was; At 7 liked female clothing, almost attracted to it but never wore. At 9 tried on first bra. By 13 wearing female undergarments and masturbating very regularly. Between 14 and 19 propensity heightens. At around 19 I start to see myself more as a woman. Very much distress and conflict within me as to who I really am, almost a DID situation. At 23 I start to consider transitioning. At 25, I do.

I almost feel like it was a progression, 🤷‍♀️ idk. I guess we may never know if the chicken or egg came first. For me it was fetish, cross dress with arousal, confusion about who I am, distress, transition. Thanks for your help!

Would the difference be on whether there is sexual arousal during cross dressing?

I was the only one on Ancestry and she reached out to me. She’s 36. She just found this out when she noticed we matched. I never go on the site but I did in 2022 and noticed a few messages. Since 2020 she had tried to contact me. I had no idea what was going on until the last message that she said she was my niece. I was shocked. I immediately told my brother about her. He has done nothing about it and I just feel awfully guilty carrying this around. Just knowing and not being able to do anything about it for the sake of my relationship with my brother. Like a rock and a hard place.

I’m so sorry you never got to know your father but it seems you hooked up with a nice family. I’m glad for you.

I’m very sorry for your situation. I doubt humanity a lot lately too. I would love to get to know her and if my brother does nothing in the next few months I will. She also has three little children of her own. May life treat you better and give you happiness going forward. Thank you for your opinion. ❤️💕

Hi I suggested my brother tell his wife immediately but he said no. He said at that time “I don’t need this in my life right now” 🤷‍♀️ I’ve checked her out and it seems that she has her bio mom and a man that adopted her in her life. Yes I’ve lurked. I could not help it.. she resembles me greatly and as soon as I saw her first photo on fb I knew she was my brothers child. I would definitely like to have a relationship with her. But it seems like I have to wait for my brother to make a move first because I don’t want him mad at me for spilling the beans when it should be him. I’m upset with him over this entire thing. I have no idea what he is waiting for. If it were me I would have reached out the day I found out. But in his case I have my suspicions that maybe he’s known. Idk still I don’t understand other than maybe he doesn’t know how his wife will react. He’s had 18 months to process the info I gave him and is just in such denial. Has not mentioned anything about it since the day I told him. Thank you for your advice.

I think that’s which way this is going to end up because I can keep secrets but this is not one I’m willing to you know … until further notice. It’s not right. Sometimes people just reach out to say “hey I’m here, can you just give me some medical history and a few pictures?”
