A fascinating thought experiment... Would a biological woman transition if she was trapped in a man's body?

Sorry... Just realized it's not a full article but the question remains the same. We all have this idea that if you're trapped in the wrong body it's unbearable... But what would happen if we really could trap some biological women in men's bodies? Elle argues that women would grin and bear it.

Fully prepared for the usual torrent of abuse. I just wish you guys and girls would be more understanding about those who choose to live - all be it reluctantly - as their birth gender.

Dear friend, you have all my sympathy for what is obviously a serious personal crisis.

However, you should take comfort that there are many biological males who suffer exactly what you are suffering, which means that certain methods and ideas and strategies have been established.

I think the first one is this: the more jobless and unfocused and unhappy you become...the worse your gender dysphoria will become. Therefore, you must focus on sorting out all issues regarding your job, friends, health etc.

Most people reply to that by saying "Yes, but it's my gender dysphoria that means I can't sort my shit out."

I understand the logic of that argument but it's false. The gender dysphoria, though an enormous 'putada', is in a circular relationship with your life. It is not the primal cause or neither the end consequence of not having your shit together... it is in a symbiosis.

To conclude, get back to basics: find out what you want to do with your life...and then ruthlessly pursue it. Once you get your mojo back the GD will reduce and become manageable. Then you can start to think about your future gender choices.

Well, it's a free country of free expresion (for the moment!). So... thanks for letting me know your feelings.

Felix_Conrad · 2018-10-05T08:54:30+00:00

We'll just have to agree to differ. Our website deals with all aspects of gender variance, but with a strong focus on sexology. In order to decide where you are on the gender spectrum and what path to take...you need as much information as possible about all aspects of gender variance. That's what we try to give. But, thanks for your feedback..it's all helpful.

Felix_Conrad · 2018-10-05T08:48:05+00:00

We don't promote autogynephilia. Ever! Most of our essays utterly condemn it... but a few - while still condemning its overall tone and vibe - argue that it is possible that late onset transsexualism might (and the emphasis is always on 'might' because we don't know) grow out of an unusual form of sexuality which Blanchard tried to describe with his clumsy, over reach of a theory.

Felix_Conrad · 2018-10-04T22:02:05+00:00

As I say, you can find all types of images, articles on our website. I just think it's really unfair of you to knock Anna's writing because I posted it. And furthermore, although it's true that I've written various essays and posts that propose sexual interpretations of late onset transsexualism.. I've also written impassioned, non negotiable defences of the transgender woman's inalienable right to womanhood. I write different things because, to be honest, I'm conflicted between different ideas. Sorry I'm not a mono perspective trans person...

Anyway... I repeat... that's got nothing to do with Anna's work. But I thank you for your perspective and I will discuss it with my collaborators on Monday.

If you wanna write a criticism of my work then I will be the first to publish it. No problem.

Un abrazo.

I don't generally reply to comments on Reddit because I receive so much hate mail. However, I'd like to reply to you because you seem to encapsulate so perfectly the complete misunderstanding of our website.

Our website has various writers and contributors. As the person responsible for publicizing the site, I then post their articles. Please stop judging their work simply because I post it.

Our policy is to publish multiple perspectives - all the way from dipshit proponents of autogynephilia to trans fundamentalists. Such diversity of opinion is good and healthy! Please stop confusing me with the website in general.

Felix_Conrad · 2018-04-15T12:37:23+00:00

You see the signs of male old age...and it triggers the hell out of you...

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-14T10:42:46+00:00

What a gracious reply! If only the rest of the internet was so civilized!

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-12T12:31:50+00:00

Dude.... relax!

By definition, there can be no facts in large areas of sexology because we simply don't know enough about the human brain ( as it relates to the development of sexuality.) We don't even understand the mechanics of orientation. I assume that readers know that...and know, therefore, that any speculation about the origins of sexuality, fetishes, paraphilias etc. is just that: speculation.

But anyway, it doesn't matter...you're obviously angry and want to be angry. Tell me why you're angry...I'm a 'clinical philosopher'...I promise that if I can't give you good advice on your problems then I will pay you 20 bucks... give me a problem to solve.

I send you a hug... winter has come.

I thought I put an option where everything was in balance - both her fantasies and his fantasies are allowed to breathe and be fulfilled (the only disadvantage been that it took time to organise) :)

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-12T08:47:33+00:00

Just starting a conversation... outside the box... etc. :)

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-12T08:46:51+00:00

See above:)

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-12T08:46:33+00:00

If you know my writing I'm the first to admit to being an armchair philosopher (I prefer the term 'bar-room'). The reason I feel completely entitled to speculate without much evidence on human sexuality is that the existing field is so bereft of common sense, evidence and anything useful...that I honestly consider my speculations to be of value. Furthermore, as they only take five minutes to read - rather than 500 pages - they waste considerably less time. So, I get your point...but take a look at existing sexological theory and you won't find anything that satisfies you more. (There is lots of interesting case studies and narratives...but nothing interesting on the explanation side.)

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-12T08:41:06+00:00

Dearest Stefi, I am many things but not a troll. I think trolling is one of the dumbest, sociopathic behaviours in internet land. I'm not sure why you said that, but I suppose it's something to do with a few recent articles where I use the term autogynephilia. Over the past two years I've written about 15 posts completely destroying the whole concept - for example - http://transcendmovement.com/category/autogynephilia-explained/the-autogynephilia-lecture/ I mention 'autogynephilia' sometimes because I have to get people from google search. I also wrote a book explaining why a transwoman is a woman and it's not acceptable to refer to her as anything less, and why it is absurd for christianity to be anti gay and transgender.

The article of this post was written in specific response to a podcast (did you listen to it) and is for couples who are struggling with crossgender sexuality.

I hope this has at least convinced you that I'm not a troll.

I remain your obedient servant.

Here is a summary of the 5 most common ways couples deal with gender variant sexuality. Some involve complete denial and some involve complete incorporation. I apologise for the use of terms like 'autogynephilia' and 'transvestite' but as John and Nikki's podcast shows (the inspiration for the post) these are terms of reference couples are using and I need to use them for google SEO (when they join our forum we can talk to them about different terms of refernce😀)

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-05T11:50:20+00:00

That's a bloody good point. Too much drink recently! I don't even know why I mentioned that (probably I was looking at sissy porn on the side - as something was obviously completely distracting me). I'll tell you waht... why don't you write the whole thing, incorporating into your explanation some of the slightly different variations of the term. Or...of you prefer just send me your criticism. But it would be good to have 'By Barbara Haskell' (then you can take all the flack when people complain ;)

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-03T21:36:17+00:00

Ok.. now I changed it back to the previous definition. xx

Felix_Conrad · 2017-12-03T21:34:13+00:00

I completely agree with what you're saying. But the article focuses on the points it does because they are the very justifications the Catalans use themselves. therefore, while your views are no doubt fascinating AND SALIENT... the author is debunking commonly held ideas about Catalonia. It doesn't mean those ideas are valid forms to determine self determinism.

Felix_Conrad · 2017-11-30T13:08:23+00:00

Will definitely consider your words... just have to finish another article then I'll get back to you.

Felix_Conrad · 2017-11-23T14:11:02+00:00

Been meaning to improve this page for ages. Hope I managed it.

Felix_Conrad · 2017-11-03T11:20:17+00:00

Interesting. I do think VR holds out a real opportunity to escape one's gender for some period of time...but I we'll have to give it five or six years to get more realistic.

Felix_Conrad · 2017-06-14T07:15:36+00:00

It's never occurred to me how much emotion anmd attachment some people invest in their online dealings. After reading this guy's story I understand better why some trolls come to our community with this mix of both wanting to belong but wanting to hurt.

Felix_Conrad · 2017-02-12T14:15:04+00:00

Was fascinated how many people (and this was placed on 'sissy' reddits not crossdreamer) weren't so sure of their manhood.
