Interesting & provocative article by Michael Biggs: "The evidence is overwhelming. Transgenderism—a 'men’s rights movement'—has greater support from women than from men, & its success has depended on women in power who brandish their feminist credentials."https://quillette.com/2019/08/01/how-feminism-paved-the-way-for-transgenderism/ …

Autogynephilia is described as a sexual orientation to my understanding? Blanchard can answer the question, but after reading everything, I'm inclined to believe AGP has been spun into a sexual orientation description to cleanse it from the paraphilias.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17951885

Elaborating: I get the vibe that Blanchard's theory was such a paraphilia bombshell and created so much uproar that it was later reframed as a sexual orientation to lessen the damage and appease the transsexuals like Lawrence. That's the way the whole thing strikes me.

Interesting. Are there some innate traits, that if nurtured, make it more likely someone would be AGP, combined with environmental factors? I can't help but wonder if there has ever been a blind-from-birth AGP?

You could go all sorts of directions with this stuff. I'm more comfortable with and prefer the submissive role during sex. Isn't that associated with being a female trait? Should I claim it's biological? I've programmed myself to sit down to pee. See where I'm going with this?

A similar parallel to my AGP problem is my BDSM problem, specifically masochism. It's as if that has become a sexual orientation for me also. So it's tough-going digging myself out of these two things. Both were learned behaviors that came from societal influences in my opinion.

Thanks for your brave honesty in these ongoing discussions
@NotableDesister, and for staying willing to engage across traditional "party lines." Your courage and self-disclosure help me (among others) to understand the humanity and complexity of all these issues. - Show replies
