It is confusing as hell. Some people speculate it could be chemicals in the water or food supply.

I would suspect porn though. That said, even if he actually didn't seek it out, much of mainstream media has been pornified with fetishistic trans imagery and erotic performances appearing almost everywhere in mainstream media and online.

It may simply be that there is some % of men who have autogynephilic tendencies if triggered. Previously social taboos kept it mostly in the closet, and prevented it from spreading as easily as it does today.

I think they are the true believers, and they are extremely disproportionately overrepresented in positions of wealth and power. I think the rest - the majority of trans/queer - are confused people who have been swept into this catch-all transhumanist snake oil fad. Or they are just low level grifters. Sometimes both.

Honestly, it may not just be some % of men who have autogynephilic tendencies, but also media taking those further than it could be. Like, of that percentage of men who may have autogynephilic tendencies, the majority of them would likely take it no further than "okay, so you like wearing softer, silkier underwear and end up starting to wear women's underwear to get that feel you want, but you don't get aroused by it and you don't take it any further than that" who would just be "a little weird but basically harmless in society, but as society puts out so much acceptance, it eventually will make someone think they're not good enough to be manly if they do this minor trait so they must be trans, but they're also not a true trans because they only do this so they have to get more and more extreme with it to show they're one of the group.

I think we just used to refer to those people as cross dressers and it was a fairly well known trope that they did it explicitly as a sexual activity and kept it in their own bedroom. The whole trans glamorization brought those people out and now they are pushing that their sexual fetish is an "identity". It seemed like the HSTS people rode the coat tails of the gay rights movement but the AGPs were flying in right behind them in a big trojan horse and right behind them were the "I'm so special with my identity" teenagers who would have been goth in the previous generation.

The irony is that most of the AGP cross dressers were heterosexual men with a fetish who wanted NOTHING to do with gay rights from the 1960s through the 1990s. Then, once gay rights started making strides in the 2000s, they decided to hijack it for their own ends. And they decided the way to do it was to rewrite the history of gay rights, putting themselves at the center. That's really a big part of what peaked me, the overwhelming, deliberate dishonesty of it all.

Not really ironic to me. These people prove themselves to be homophobic. Partially the homophobia leads to the trans stuff... See pat Robertson etc.

Irony depends a lot on point of view. In this case, I think it's the contrast between their historic homophobia and their current claims that they were always at the center of the gay rights movement, which wouldn't have happened without them doing all the work.

True, i guess the idea that transgender people are homophobic is actually ironic but I'm just so used to it at this point that to me this is the expected outcome.
