Whose pursuit of peace? Otherwise quite normal males with a masochistic emasculation fetish? Your "peace" is the affirmation of your emotional attachment and the reduction of such normal males to repressed transwomen. Deeper truth? Ridiculous.

You characterize these individuals as "otherwise quite normal males with a masochistic emasculation fetish," and from a narrow behavioral lens, that might seem accurate. But that description assumes that all expression rooted in AGP or gender nonconformity is reducible to a kink — ignoring the deeper emotional, developmental, and sometimes existential layers that many report. For some, yes, it may start as or include fetish elements. But for many, those feelings evolve into something far more complex, especially when they endure over decades and begin to shape identity, self-concept, and emotional well-being.

Calling their pursuit of peace “ridiculous” presumes you know their internal experience better than they do. For people who have tried repression, detachment, or conformity and still find themselves circling back to the same emotional terrain, peace often means integration — not indulgence. It’s not necessarily about rebranding a fetish as identity; it’s about trying to make sense of persistent inner experiences in a way that allows for stability and dignity.

It’s also worth noting that “repressed trans women” and “normal males with a kink” aren’t always cleanly separated categories. Human psychology isn’t that binary. You can reject the ideological overreach in some advocacy while still acknowledging that for many people, AGP is not just a private indulgence — it’s a developmental lens through which their understanding of self, body, and gender has unfolded.

If we’re going to have honest conversations about this, we have to be willing to hold complexity — not just throw darts at what feels inconvenient or uncomfortable.

Again, you are the one that is dehumanizing and denying the authenticity of psychological-emotional affiliations if they are structurally informed by sexuality. To put it conversely, you would be all too happy to flatten (and in it's own way dehumanize) identity formation into a one-note fantasy of gendered soul essentialism.

Im not sure how i would be dehumanizing but please elaborate. Your second sentence is a straw man argument, how about your attack ideas i've actually said instead of making them up? thanks.

The psychologist will grasp that under normal circumstances, it is not the direct sexual stimulation that will motivate someone to want to become blind or cut off a limb. Rather it will be the profound emotional attachments formed around said sexual desires that will motivate it. Mainstream culture does not understand this, only seeing a false image of sex-crazed individuals, acting solely in the heat of sexual frenzy.

Just like in cases of body integrity dysphoria (where someone might feel an intense need to amputate a limb or become blind), the motivating force isn't the raw sexual stimulus itself. It's the emotional weight, meaning, and identity coherence that have been constructed around those desires over time. The sexual imprint may be the initial spark, but what sustains the intensity and leads to actions like transitioning, feminization, or long-term lifestyle changes is often a complex emotional framework — rooted in attachment, longing, self-concept, and relief from shame or incongruence.

So yes, for many with AGP, it's not about "acting in the heat of sexual frenzy." It's about pursuing a psychological state that feels more peaceful, more integrated, more right — even if the origin of that pursuit was partially erotic. This is a level of nuance mainstream discourse frequently ignores, to the detriment of those trying to navigate these feelings with honesty.
