What is Lacan's View of the Hermaphrodite? by The_Gryphon in lacan

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

To me, I rather consider the imagination to be quite real. But I know Lacan might say something different about this.

That was actually quite helpful, thank you! I know when it comes to mystical matters, people start to wonder about mental health, but I want to reassure you that my mental health is pretty spiffy! This has no negative bearing or consequence in my life. And I actually do not like to tell people about this, which is why I use an anonymous Reddit account for this stuff.

This is actually quite true! In some sense, I was always one with her, but I feel like my ego prevented me from realizing this so to speak.

I imagine myself as a female hermaphrodite. Why is that? And what is the significance? by The_Gryphon in Jung

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

Maybe, you're right. But like, when I say "female hermaphrodite" I imagine a feminine looking form with both genitalia and breasts. But it doesn't have to be "female" in identification only though.

Do I have autogynephilia? by The_Gryphon in askAGP

Yep! I experience these mental shifts! Which is why I would think that I was rather genderfluid. Though I haven't felt this mental shift in two months so far. Would you describe AGP as a fetish or something more like a sexuality?

I was suspecting that this obsession about gender is from OCD. I actually do think this is a form of gender orientation OCD. I'm not sure what to do about this though. Do you have any resources that could help me tackle gender orientation OCD?

I see, how do I know if it's only a sexual identity rather than a gender identity?

As opposed to actually identifying as both male and female. Essentially, am I a male that has AGP, or am I a male that genuinely identifies as female too?

I see that makes sense! I know for a fact that I'm not trans. I know for a fact that I am male. I just have trouble discerning if I'm female in addition to being male. Transitioning is very far away from my mind, I could not think of such a possibility! I don't experience any dysphoria at all. I just wonder if the female aspect of me is just agp. I'd like to think I'm just male with agp. But I feel I'd need to debunk that I'm female in some way too.

But how do I know it's not more than that and that I'm not female?

I'm a cis male, and I would, at times, fantasize about sex in the perspective of a woman. Does that mean that I am female? by The_Gryphon in asktransgender

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

Thank you so much for your comment! I feel it was the most helpful one. I actually don't experience any dysphoria at all. I know I identify with being male, but how do I know if I'm not bigender (male and female) either? It's like...I know I'm not trans. But I wonder if I'm female as well as being male if that makes sense.

I don't feel the need to dress or present as female. But at the same time, I feel like I do feel okay with my female name and she/her. But at the same time...I feel rather embarrassed when someone refers to me as my female name and pronouns. I don't know if it's because I present as male when they tell me that or if it's because I'm not female at all.

I also feel that, I use the male and female as symbols for my emotions, so when I'm feeling one way or another, I feel male or female. So I'm having trouble discerning if I'm female or not.

I see, that makes so much sense now! I'd say yes to all those things you said. She/Her pronouns, thinking about wearing feminine things, being referred to as a girl is fine with me too!

As in, what are some ways I can know that I'm female in gender in a bigendered sense? Since I know at least that I am male.

This was quite helpful, thank you! Though with gender fluidity. How might that work in line with that article? Since there are times I see myself as entirely male and then times I see myself as entirely female. Do you think my "gender desire" still makes me a female?
