    Okay I was kidding about the, "I'm an ardent autogynephile" shit earlier, it's not real that was a joke, I apologise.

            "Do I want to be her or be with her?" The answer is BOTH trans-specter I actually never thought about it 100% exactly like that but yeah, huh. "Autogynephilia" is just trans femme4femme (or butch4butch etc) ✨

                I love that she has like a PHD or something and did an actual study on that. But yeah, all this stinky stuff shows up in condensed form in Nevada (again) which I read when I was 15, very luckily innoculating me against these kind of brainworms.

                I don't think anyone is seriously advocating for using "autogynephilia", I was just using it to be sarcastic & goofy. Blanchard's "theory" is also a weird way to medicalise which trans women he does and doesn't want to fuck, and which trans women are "useful" to straight men, continuing Harry Benjamin's work. One of Blanchard's favourite guys was J Michael Bailey, whose The Man Who Would Be Queen is less a scientific text and more a sordid tell-all of his affairs with various trans women. AGP/AAP is both gross and fake!
