DiscussionThe Truth about Autogynephilia. Women’s attire was not the true object of such a man’s affections, he concluded: rather, the clothes were the means whereby a man gave life to that object, namely himself in female form. “Autogynephilia” means love of oneself as a woman.

I've already read this and responded to it in the GC sub. What I forgot to say there is that this is a form of autosexuality: attraction to yourself.

I'm an autosexual... I'm attracted to my own body and my own voice (I'm attracted to women with deep/husky voices). I think it is a sexual coping mechanism that I developed during childhood when I desperately wanted to have sex with other girls but was told I wasn't old enough, so I began masturbating at age 7 until I was allowed to date girls at age 14.

But I think autogynephilia is about straight white men getting off to being a marginalized group, as I said on the GC sub. They transform themselves from the least oppressed group to "trans women" in order to get aroused by being a hated minority group. It's a paraphilia.

I disagree; it's very much a sexual fetish. It was a thing long before Critical Theory began awarding oppression olympics medals to the most identities.

Yeah even reading this article itself you see how they came to see what AGP is

At the same time I do think there is another different category of people which do fit that other description. Once the oppression Olympics started these other people jumped in looking for attention.

A lot of white incels like to do this: they transition in order to gain opression points to flaunt around.

Some white girls also do this for the same reason: today being a white girl on most contexts is nearly the same as being a white men, ao they cling to non-binary identities to gain some social capital in the woke circles they frequent.
