Addendum to AGP video: Blanchard/Bailey are often misread as saying that because nonandrophilic trans women are autogyenphilic, they aren't really trans. Now, that is the clinical practice of a lot of shitty therapists, especially historically, but it's not B&B's claim—

When Blanchard/Bailey have their PR faces on, their defense of themselves is, "we're not transphobic because we fully support the right of autogynephiles to transition."

But some androphilic trans women actually latch on to Blanchardism because they mistakenly think it distinguishes them, the "true transsexuals," from the autogynephilic perverts.

This is the wrong high horse to get atop, girls. There are no "true trans women" according to Blanchard. There are only homosexual men and autogynephilic men. And pointing this out is usually the best way to shut down that argument.

I mean it may be worth arguing against "folk Blanchardism" that says that straight trans women are the only "true transsexuals" anyway, since that's a common enough belief on its own. But it's also worth remembering that this is not actually Blanchard's/Bailey's claim.
