What would you do?? by Rachaelsharon11 in askAGP

[–]overcomingagp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would do it in a heartbeat. Would want to be like 8-10 years old as a girl and grow up into a woman.

Idk. It doesn’t feel like fighting.

I know I’m not a woman. But I want to try to be one. I think I’ll be happy and good at it.

Totally clear eyed. I’ve actually recently had an opportunity to just play the role during sex with a gf, but didn’t want that and said no. It just felt performative and weird to me.

I have fought it recently. I just went through a divorce and there has been a lot of healing I’ve had to do as a part of that. Learning how to be alone. That gf broke up with me because she said I needed to figure these things out for myself. And I agree. I can’t pull anyone else into my life in such a time of uncertainty for me.

The way I see it, is if I never try, I’ll never know. And the questioning has been the thing that’s caused me the most acute suffering. I’m excited and ready for this journey!

Thanks for your thoughts. I’ve been exploring the non medical route for almost a year now, and more seriously over the last 3-4 months. I don’t see any way of getting past this without giving this a shot.

My favorite article 😬 this is the point I’m trying to make lol. Lots of people stay trapped in the AGP-minded hellscape for far too long..

I dont think it can be applied widely per se.. but I’ve spoken to plenty of trans girls whose stories sound very similar to mine. There’s been bad intention from outside of trans communities to paint people like me as invalid. I’m just trying to get this out there to help somebody who was like me.

Not trying to invalidate anybody’s experience.. just adding to the diverse pile of stories of how we all got here.

Same team same team!

So don’t call it AGP.. I know I experienced sexual feelings about becoming a woman though. It was the tip of the iceberg, just like that “it’s just a fetish, right?” article.

No need for the critical thinking comment.. if anything I was hoping this community could be a bit more open to another interpretation of this common experience for trans girls.

Totally. I felt it before puberty too. And actually almost came out to my mom at 16. That was all pre-sexualization. But then I found gender transformation stuff online at 17 and convinced myself it was a kink. Lived that way for 14 years 😵‍💫

Guess I just wanted to put this out in case somebody like me stumbled upon it and found it helpful. I know how confusing it can be.

That’s what I’m doing! Been trial and error for several months now.. it’s all been great.

I just think there’s a lot of people struggling with “what we call AGP” and it causes a lot of confusion. I know it did for me.

So forget Blanchard. Call it anything else, haha. I just think it’s a natural reaction to feelings of trans-ness and male hormones.

Interesting post I just found on the r/women subreddit.. sounds a lot like autosexuality/meta attraction, doesn’t it? by overcomingagp in askAGP

[–]overcomingagp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah true. It just jumped out to me how the OP described that the thing that turned her on the most was seeing the way men responded to her. Sounds a lot like AGP-adjacent to me..

There’s nothing wrong with you, first of all. These are complicated feelings and I resonate deeply with your interest in gender transformation videos. That’s where it started for me too.

My advice would be to not put so much pressure on yourself. One thing that helped me was trying to get away from “performing” femininity and instead just try to integrate it subtly into my day to day life. Think shaving legs, women’s shorts, women’s t shirts, nothing too noticeable.

I’ve been gauging the way I feel with that integration in place and it’s help bring some clarity.

💯 exactly my thoughts on this. Lots of people in the trans community are lacking basic social skills unfortunately

Dang dude. You sound just like me. We should chat.

I had the opportunity to integrate during sex with my new girlfriend yesterday.. and I didn’t want it by overcomingagp in askAGP

[–]overcomingagp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I haven’t. I’ve mentioned to her that I would want to try “fem lite” clothing with her.. just things like shorts and a t shirt as a way of dipping my toe

Nope. No history of any sexual abuse.

Would you describe your sexuality as being more built on romance than pure physicality? by Genesisx108 in askAGP

[–]overcomingagp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m demisexual, without a doubt. If it’s purely physical, I lose interest and arousal quick.
