At the help group I had been talking to a young lesbian woman I liked and I had thought, Hey, can I have a relationship with a lesbian woman? Does that work?

He needs to ask himself, "would I be sexually attracted to a male like me who wears dresses and makeup?". If the answer is no, why on earth would you think a lesbian would be attracted to that.

Does that work?

It DOESN'T

I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard.

You best cut that out before I make you as silent as the lambs

so he doesn't even consider himself a woman, apparently just dresses and makeup in his mind constitute lesbian sexuality. I just lost any respect I had left for him.

Oh wow, I didn't understand that's what he meant by "sexuality". Good lord. "Lesbian" is just a porn category to him, straight-up, I guess.

The fear of being stared at, which I knew I would be. This was partly because I wasn’t that good at applying makeup. I’d bought a book about how to do it and then tried to teach myself, but I didn’t have older sisters to practice with, or on.

Dude. Many women don't, either. And is that really what you were afraid of?

I shouted back, “You want to know why I’m wearing a dress? I’ll tell you why.”

But before I could say anything else, the girls just screamed and ran off in the other direction. I was stunned. Wow. That wasn’t as hard as I thought.

I think that was the first time I was overtly intimidated because of my sexuality.

I don't understand what he means by this. Cross-dressing is a sexuality? Or is he referring to a paraphilia? That would require a level of self-awareness that I am inclined to doubt this person has.

He is proud that he can make teen girls afraid and run away? Will he will be proud as well, when he comes to women's toilet and all women will start feeling uncomfortable and run away? Why his comfort more important than theirs?

By his wording it looks like he thinks that he is attacked because "he is lesbian".

One of the questions that therapists use to screen for personality disorders and psychopathic tendencies is, roughly, "do you feel good when people are frightened or intimidated by you?"

The people I am least afraid of being attacked by as a lesbian is generally teenage girls. Unless you’re still in middle or highschool and you’re being bullied, generally the people who post the least amount of threat to you are teenage girls. If you are yelling at teenage girls and they are not harassing you: you are the harasser (and their being afraid is not harassment, even if teenage girls were afraid of me as a butch lesbian in a bathroom or changing room I would not yell at them or be mad! I would calmly ask them if my leaving would make them more comfortable, and generally I’d expect them to say no based on my voice, but even if they said yes, I’d leave. That’s what non-narcisistic non-fetishist non-predatory non-bullies do. I can’t say all GNC women would do the same, and really we shouldn’t have to, but I believe this is one thing we can do.)

He identified as "I am in girl mode", so he is younger than teen girls in his head. It is very stupid, I know.

So, let me get this straight. A man who identified as a man changed into men’s clothing in a women’s restroom and was surprised when girls (literal children) were uncomfortable with it. But, somehow, the man is the victim and the girls are villains?

This man is not only a piece of shit, but a coward and an emotional manipulator.

I used to respect him back in the day because he was a man that dressed effeminitely in the 90's and didn't care, now he's just a attention whoring bloke with a lesbian fetish. Is this his version of a mid- life crisis?

Turns out Eddie was an autogynephile all along

[–]Beryl 25 insightful - 1 fun25 insightful - 0 fun26 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Notice the language. It's always "boymode" and "girlmode", and never "manmode" and "womanmode". There's something incredibly creepy about that infantile language they use.

[–]PassionateIntensity 19 insightful - 1 fun19 insightful - 0 fun20 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm going to start calling him what he actually is -- an autogynephile.

Transbian? He is a drag queen or female impersonatior.

This is as bad as an academic I met in the early 1990s who said he is 'queer and a male lesbian' because he cheated on his wife with prostitutes.😂🙄🤡🌏

I used transbian because he's now claiming to be a lesbian and transbians are fake Chinese market knock-off lesbians.

The more of a "face" a person is in the entertainment industry, the higher the odds that everything coming out of their mouths and social media accounts is some combination of public relations, flat-out lies, narrowing profits and a bottomless need for constant attention.
