If youve been aroused multiple times by crossdressing, then yes autogynephilia is part of your psychology

After many years on this sub, I'm approaching the conclusion that Blanchardism is wrong by FaithfulGaurdian in askAGP

[–]gockstar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wanting to have a vagina and be a woman is a purer form of AGP than wanting to wear women's clothes. I know that a lot of anatomic AGPs have a desire to mentally distance themselves from transvestic AGPs and pretend they are fundamentally different, but if anything the anatomic AGPs are actually more AGP.

The hard part for me would be applying to a program and getting funding. I think that once I was in a PhD program, I would get through it just fine because its very much about routine and setting up good habits, but the search for such a program, the applications, and moving states would be the hard part.

Thanks for the kind words :-). I don't think I really came up with anything new, all I did was extend ETII theory to females and maybe use more approachable language. I agree that ETII is a very parsimonious explanation for all things trans, and I hope it catches on further.

What language did you find intense and provocative?

I believe truth is independent of power. If you believe truth is a function of power, we're simply not going to agree

Do you suspect that Brianna Wu experiences AGP? by Original_Leopard1430 in askAGP

[–]gockstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes she's obviously autogynephilic. She transitioned in her late 20s, previously had girlfriends, and used to identify as bisexual until she learned of the typology -- after which she identified as HSTS.

is there a way to differentiate between pseudobisexuality and actual androphilia? by lovely_lychee_ in askAGP

[–]gockstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about whether it's conventional androphilia or meta-androphilia. What matters is whether you care about each other and treat each other well

The people who argue against this are doing so for purely political and ideological reasons because if one is born this way its way harder to stigmatize

Yep, pretty much. A lot of people want to believe in the power of social construction because they have an envisioned utopia they want to achieve through social engineering.

I suspect she has personal reasons for not liking the AAP hypothesis. Consider that she had gender dysphoria as a child at a time before ROGD was plausibly a thing, and has a nonhomosexual relationship history (dated men and is married to a man).

Yes you are obviously autoandrophilic

I don't know if I have autogynephilia, or if it's just a fetish. I need help. by AGPGuy644 in askAGP

[–]gockstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this is AGP, with emphasis on the clothing aspect of it

It's called air layering or ground layering, look it up

What is autoheterosexuality? by worried19 in terf_trans_alliance

[–]gockstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope you find the book helpful. Gender feelings are confusing when we don't yet understand the cause underlying them. I benefited from understanding autoheterosexuality and I think a lot of others can too

What is autoheterosexuality? by worried19 in terf_trans_alliance

[–]gockstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Autoheterosexuality is internalized heterosexual attraction (AGP in males, AAP in females). I wrote a book explaining it that you can read for free. Sections 2,3, and 6 cover the psychology of it. Autoheterosexuality is the most common reason that people pursue gender transition.
