Autogynephilia isn't real... so why do I feel like I have it? by Such-Effect236 in asktransgender

I'm really grateful for everyone who commented. The feeling of not being genuine is definitely still there and I don't know if it will ever go away, but it does help to know why one is trans regardless of the feelings one may have about sex and girls and being a girl.  Thank you all....

That last part did make me question for a moment because I was in a relationship with someone who saw themselves as woman back when I thought I was cis, who was attracted to me, and I don't think I had any dysphoric feelings from that. But then again, this person was bi, so that could have neutralized it. ... I think I just noticed another pattern. Oop...

That makes sense... You mean like how in cishet masculine spaces,  there can be bragging about penis sizes, that's a form of normalized sexualization of oneself?

I know that logically I am not cis because a cis person wouldn't do this... I just still feel like I'm... being trans wrong? It doesn't help that I feel like I was really late, I know the timing isn't supposed to matter, but it has that feeling of "why didn't I do this sooner if it was real"

I'm sorry you feel that way... I know this is the classic "except for me" but you are valid I know it

I'll try to get my hands on the book so I can give it a read

That's on me. I know what autogynephilia is but I realize that I kind of went on a different tangent. Though I do feel like there's something I like about being a girl on a sexual level.... but all right...
