Autogynephilia, coined by Ray Blanchard, refers to "a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female." Does it only apply to males, though? Hear me out: 1/3

Yes! My theory is that sexuality is somewhat malleable: the kind of materials one is fixating on can warp someone's sense of identity & arousal. Which is NOT to say that LGB people being aroused by same sex intimacy means they were 'warped' into it. Imagery can clarify OR distort
That's fascinating, I'd love to look more into it if you've discussed this anywhere else?

Maybe we'll discuss it on the podcast one of these days! I know a lot of FtM young people can fuel their own dysphoria by only relating to/reflecting upon gay male imagery. It's a combination of internalized misogyny and glorifying maleness laid atop of sexuality development

I look forward to that podcast! Thank you for everything you do, it means a lot.
