Talk:Autogynephilia

Contrapoints
I know Contrapoints can be controversial but she did a fantastic and heartfelt video about autogynephilia. What do people think about putting in the article?

Article name change
I think we should rework the articles to be about Blanchards typology more generally as to also debunk his HSTS hypothesis --PorpoisePurpose (talk) 16:19, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Disappointed
I am disappointed. I came here looking for neutral rational information, and I found an extended rant directed at a straw-man version of some particular theory. &mdash; Unsigned, by: 82.38.69.218 / talk

Quora mentioned this article and here I am
First time posting here sorry if I do something stupid. I'm a 33 heterosexual cis male and I'm 100% sure about it. When I see a very attractive woman I feel jealous. It's not like I want to have sex with them, I want to be them. I found out about Autogynephilia a few days ago and I did some research. Quora used this site and this article as a source to prove that Autogynephilia is bullshit. Ok. But how about my case? Is it autogynephilia or is it something different?

 * I don't think you're going to get what you're asking for here. This is mainly a wiki, and while I would like to go farther into your case, I'm going to have some restraint and redirect you somewhere else, since I don't think this is the best format for this, and there are many other places for questions like this. I'd recommend r/asktransgender for something like this. armed_roomba (she/her)What am I doing wrong this time? 22:23, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Cisgender female AGP
The idea that most cisgender women might have AGP might be false. The questions were asked badly and seems to be misunderstood as "did you ever feel sexy doing X" etc. There were questions about beautiful clothing and lingerie which would make a woman feel more confident more beautiful and desirable but her thoughts that lead to sexual arousal still center around her partner their reaction to her and what they might do later that might be arousing. But for trans the clothing is the ends. It is arousing to them to simply wear women's clothing. The research seems to be poor in quality. The question items were deeply biased and the same used with trans if I understand. [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00918360903005212 Small sample size, no qualitative explanations of the answers. No description of methods process and hasn't been replicated. I wonder why.] --RadicalRadish (talk) 13:49, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Huh, that would seem to seriously discredit the attempts to prove this concept. 14:02, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * certainly.--RadicalRadish (talk) 14:27, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
