The autogynephelia argument is a tricky one to make unless you have real life examples to point to. Otherwise, it's easier for someone to dismiss it as 'transphobia'. After all, it's difficult to get a trans person to admit to being an autogynephile.

Yeah I agree. There are so many other better topics to start with. It's necessary to bring up eventually, because it's really the why of so much of the transgender rights movement's current state. But it's so obscure/taboo that it's honestly just easier to start with more relatable facets of the issue.

I also agree. I was trying to explain this to my cousin (still on the Liberal train to full on ClownWorld unfortunately) and she refused to believe me about autogynephelia. Looked at me like I was crazy and flat out said "That's not true." So since then I've been trying to figure out a better place to work it in, since it's unavoidable when discussing the state of the trans movement.
