Yep: https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS%20Full%20Report%20-%20FINAL%201.6.17.pdf

Your own link doesn't mention autogynephilia or autoandrophilia.

It's where your belief in gender dysphoria stems from.

I would believe in gender dysphoria even without the DSM.

A homosexual is someone who is attracted to the same sex. So now it was their gender that was "assigned at birth", no longer their sex? Or are sex & gender the same thing now? "A transgender"? "Transgender" is an adjective. I've never seen such hypocritical pedantry.

A homosexual is soneone who is attracted to people of mainly the same sex characteristics as their own.

Then we agree that they never used to exist until very recently.

I keep pointing out trans men in history yet you still claim trans men only existed recently.

Transing dead people is not the least bit convincing. It's called SELF-identification for a reason. You're breaking your own rules by making presumptions about them.

All the trans people I listed self-identified as trans.

I know you're obsessed with erasing sexual orientation, but Elliot Page, Buck Angel & Luke Anderson are all homosexuals.

Nope. They're straight.

How many times have I told you that the transtrenders are the het girl demographic? You know, the demographic covered by Lisa Littman's studies & Abigail Shrier's book. Why didn't you name Demi Lovato? Oh right, I was forgetting the gender police always ironically discriminate against non-binary people.

When you keep being presented with proof to the contrary, you still claim transgenders are mostly the het teenage girl demographic of the 21st century. Yes, Demi Lovato also identifies as non-binary and she's 28.

An autogynaephile is a non-homosexual transsexual. The link has a section on sexual orientation distribution. The homosexual ones are in the minority, thereby proving that the majority are autogynaephiles. I should have realised you'd need that explained to you. You probably haven't got a clue about the typology.

I would believe in gender dysphoria even without the DSM.

Without the DSM the term & concept of "gender dysphoria" wouldn't exist. Are you saying you would have invented it?

A homosexual is soneone who is attracted to people of mainly the same sex characteristics as their own.

You literally just made that up. You have unresolved issues regarding homosexuality. You need to look into that.

All the trans people I listed self-identified as trans.

Really? When? I didn't see any evidence of that. How do you know they weren't stealth homosexuals? It's not far-fetched seeing as homosexuality was illegal at that time.

Nope. They're straight.

Nope. They're lesbians, homophobe.

Transtrenders are specifically the het girls. Homosexuals who go through conversion therapy via transition aren't "proof to the contrary".

An autogynephile is a man who sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. The majority of trans women, even trans lesbians, are not autogynephiles.

You clearly don't believe in gender dysphoria, so.

You literally just made that up. You have unresolved issues regarding homosexuality. You need to look into that.

I think you do. I have friends and acquaintances who are homosexual and bisexual. All of them support the trans community. One girl I went to high school with is a lesbian, and she wrote on FB she won't vote for Trump because he's a racist, homophobe and transphobe and said "transgenders can’t be in a lot of fucking places" which was part of the comment. I think you're the one that has issues regarding homosexuality, because the homosexual people I know are supportive of trans people.

Really? When? I didn't see any evidence of that. How do you know they weren't stealth homosexuals? It's not far-fetched seeing as homosexuality was illegal at that time.

Yes, homosexuality was illegal at the time, but 1. That does not mean transgender people did not exist 2. Many gays and lesbians did not transition at the time. In a retirement home in Brooklyn, there was an inaugural exhibition featuring 12 LGBT seniors, where they described what's it like living in a time when being themselves were illegal. None of them are trans.

Nope. They're lesbians, homophobe.

Transtrenders are specifically the het girls. Homosexuals who go through conversion therapy via transition aren't "proof to the contrary".

Cis lesbians don't change their names to male ones, take T to appear male, request people use he/him pronouns for them or pursue sex reassignment surgery. Only trans people do those things.

Ignorance. The word for a non-homosexual transsexual male is autogynaephile. You don't get to decide how the typology works. Transbians are, by virtue of being transbians, autogynaephiles. Clear?

You clearly don't believe in gender dysphoria, so.

Belief has nothing to do with it. The body that created GD no longer "believes in it", so why should anyone else?

I think you're the one that has issues regarding homosexuality, because the homosexual people I know are supportive of trans people

So I have "an issue with homosexuality" because I disagree with gay women who are both pro conversion therapy (i.e. transitioning of gay kids) & pro-autogynaephiles being legally recognised as adult human females? That's just identity politics: the "correct" identity has the "correct" opinion. A flawed take. Fox News always hires black people to repeat racist rhetoric for people like you, I suppose. What are the gay & female versions of an Uncle Tom?

We'll never know if they were stealth homosexuals or not. Please quit posting these American mainstream news outlets. Wikipedia is the lowest I'm willing to go regarding secondary sources.

lesbians don't change...

The ones that are converted via transition do. There are 3 "trans" groups, generally: the homosexuals, the autogynaephiles & the trenders (a form of conversion therapy, a paraphilia & a teen sub-culture, respectively). One group's existence does not undermine another's, comprendé?

That's not what the DSM-V says, and you preach the DSM-V. You alone don't get to decide how typology works either, the majority of society does. Most of us agreed trans women are women. We have laws protecting trans people, like the right to use restrooms that match your gender identity. This wouldn't be possible without majority agreement.

Belief has nothing to do with it. The body that created GD no longer "believes in it", so why should anyone else?

We believe in gender dysphoria 100%. It's you that doesn't.

Conversion therapy is literally using aversive conditioning techniques to change someone's sexual orientation. Conversion therapy is not someone voluntarily choosing to transition. What you just said is offensive to actual victims of conversion therapy, who had to endure years and years of trauma and PTSD.

A flawed take. Fox News always hires black people to repeat racist rhetoric for people like you, I suppose. What are the gay & female versions of an Uncle Tom?

The people I mentioned were not paid for their pro-trans speeches. Granted, saying anti-trans speech will get you ostracized, but in that case they had the option not to say anything at all. But all of the LGB people I know spoke in support of trans people. Calling someone an Uncle Tom, handmaiden or a traitor is gross and will earn you less respect than you already have.

We'll never know if they were stealth homosexuals or not. Please quit posting these American mainstream news outlets. Wikipedia is the lowest I'm willing to go regarding secondary sources.

You just don't want to hear the truth.

lol are you malfunctioning or something? You're making even less sense than usual. The DSM-V reflects a medical consensus. It references autogynaephilia, which it defines as a paraphilia. You, independently, decided that transbians aren't autogynaephiles. The guy who coined the term created the definition in order to define transbians:

"non-homosexual transsexual women (as well as all other non-homosexual male gender dysphorics) have a condition called autogynephilia and are aroused by the idea or image of themselves as women" – Blanchard R, Clemmensen LH, Steiner BW (1987). Heterosexual and homosexual gender dysphoria

"Yeah, but mob rule" doesn't impress me. You don't even know what gender identity is. Gender identity is determined by socialisation. Trans people were socialised according to the norms of their sex, not their preferred sex. You're using "gender identity" to refer to their cross-gender self-identification. Why are you such a noob?

We believe in gender dysphoria 100%. It's you that doesn't.

"We"? Have you changed your preferred pronouns, or something? Belief again? I reject anything that is faith-based. If actual medical bodies decided to recognise transgenderism as a mental disorder called "gender dysphoria" again, then I'd give it a read, but until that unlikely time I'm not going to start "believing in it" for no reason.

Conversion therapy is not someone voluntarily choosing to transition

There are homosexuals who voluntarily go through conversion therapy. The introduction of gender dysphoria into the DSM on the heels of homosexuality being taken out was viewed by some within the medical sphere as a possible "backdoor manoeuvre" of re-pathologising homosexuality. Does the massive overrepresentation of homosexuals within the trans population not strike you as odd/worthy of note?

Calling someone an Uncle Tom, handmaiden or a traitor is gross and will earn you less respect than you already have.

Didn't you hypocrites react that way to Jenner when he said he didn't support women's sports becoming unisex in order to affirm self-identification?

You just don't want to hear the truth.

On the contrary, which is why I avoid disreputable news outlets.

You just made this up.

In order for that to be true I'd have to be over 100 years old & stolen the identities of the following people: Lisa Littman, Ray Blanchard, Kurt Freund & Magnus Hirschfeld.

Stick to discussing other people's arguments and avoid personal attacks.

Who is this most of us you constantly refer to? All women? Can you share the methods used to gather that data and the results please?

Do you say most women when you’re really referring to the women who post on liberal “feminist” rags and qt subreddits? I think this is the case.

[–]GenderbenderShe/her/hers[S] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (3 children)

"Most of us" is most Americans and Canadians.

Why is “feminist” in quotes?

[–]HouseplantWomen who disagree with QT are a different sex 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Because I don’t consider liberal “feminism” even slightly feminist. As a movement it panders to men and porn while doing nothing to advance or protect the rights of women.

Can we see how you asked every American and Canadian what they think, how you know they were honest, and the exact figures you got from this questioning?

Liberal feminists fought for and continue to fight for OTC birth control, ending sexual harassment and domestic violence, the prosecution of rape, equal pay, universal healthcare, Black Lives Matter, gay marriage, against ableism, classism and a host of other issues. All those things help me as a woman. We are critical of the mainstream porn induatry, but not every form of sexual entertainment. Some feminists, while also fighting issues not specifically related to women, do not consider these issues "feminist". We all have different definitions of "feminism" and there are different branches of feminism. Some branches of feminism do not see gender critical feminism as actual feminism. My feminism is social justice feminism. I support all causes for every marginalized group, vote, sign petitions and look at my own privileges and oppressions and how different identities intersect.

Can we see how you asked every American and Canadian what they think, how you know they were honest, and the exact figures you got from this questioning?

My state has various laws to protect transgender people. Its illegal to harass someone for using a bathroom that matches their gender identity. This wouldn't be possible without majority support.

[–]HouseplantWomen who disagree with QT are a different sex 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Liberal feminism supports sex work as empowerment, pornography, the erasure of women’s spaces, the concept of gender identity, interfering with children’s puberty, and the concept of gendered roles and expectations as innate.

Supporting birth control and abortions does not a feminist make. What you do is irrelevant. It’s not about you, personally.

the laws in my state...

That’s not what I asked. I asked you for the data and collection methods you used to be able to say that most people in America and Canada think that transwomen are actually women.

Did you just pull that out of your ass or not? If not you should be able to post the data right here. Just copy and paste it from the source you have.
