Jonny is on his own this week, recording the show on Labor Day Monday. In the front half of the show, he details "autogynephilia" as a debunked pseudo-scientific theory still popular among the gender critical and transphobes. It is one of the ways LGB (No T, No Q) folks bracket out trans experience from "gay" experience. He also details its cousin, the myth of "Transing the Gay Away." In the back half of the show, he leans into his own queer story and evolution into understaning of his gender nonconforming, nonbinary identity. At the core of LGBTQ rights, he argues, is trans advocacy and the fight for gender diversity.

Ray Alex Williams used to go by the name Rachel. A former trans woman, today he refers to himself as a detransitioner. In this episode, he shares his perspective on his own transition process, including his true motivations for transitioning.  Exploring a diversity of essential perspectives like Ray's can provide wives whose husbands have come out as trans with honest and vital information about gender transition in their own marriages, so they are better able to make fully informed decisions for their own lives.  X: @RayAlexWilliams YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RayAlexWilliams

Today I welcome the esteemed Dr. Joseph Burgo to discuss the psychological crisis of males who find refuge in a trans identity. Along the way, we explore myriad contributing factors, from shame, narcissism, and autogynephilia; to rising rates of autism and unlimited access to increasingly obscene internet pornography; as well as gender roles, norms, expectations, and recent cultural shifts.As we unravel the narratives of ex-military men and individuals in positions of power who transition, we uncover the complexities of idealization and devaluation in trans identification and the numerous parallels with personality disorder traits. How do societal norms and social justice narratives fuel the shallow idealization of the opposite gender?We also touch on the challenges detransitioners face in therapy and the obstacles therapists encounter in providing effective care for individuals with gender ideation. How can therapists navigate the tense climate surrounding gender identity exploration? And what role should exploration of fantasies and projections play in understanding the complexities of gender distress? Joseph Burgo, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and graduate psychoanalyst who has been practicing for more than 40 years. As a writer, he's the author of several works of non-fiction bringing his insights and experience as a therapist to a popular audience, and his articles and commentary on the topics of shame and narcissism have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and most of the large news outlets online. In his private practice, he currently focuses on gender distress, and works with trans-identified adolescent boys, male detransitioners, and men who struggle with autogynephilia. He can be reached at joeburgo@gmail.com; find him on X @jburgo55; visit his website at AfterPsychotherapy.com; or view him in the documentary film of another former guest, Jennifer Lahl (from episodes 52 and 97), The Lost Boys: Searching for Manhood.Dr. Burgo's books:The Narcissist You Know: Defending Yourself Against Extreme Narcissists in an All-About-Me AgeWhy Do I Do That?: Psychological Defense Mechanisms and the Hidden Ways They Shape Our LivesShame: Free Yourself, Find Joy, and Build True Self-EsteemAll books mentioned on this podcast and written by my guests can be found at sometherapist.com/bookshop or by following the Amazon affiliate links.

Phil Illy: Raising Awareness for Autogynephilia

After Nina welcomes self-described autoandrophile and pervert advocate Aaron “The Contraaron” Terrell with a deliberate misgendering, the two adult human females discuss male sexuality while actual male Corinna mostly bites his tongue. Topics include Terrell's surprising shift from hetero- to homosexuality on exogenous testosterone, pretty privilege, internet porn, eating disorders, autogynephobia, fertility signals, sexual dimorphism, pseudo-attraction, political religion, autism, twitter kerfuffles, and enforcement of the purity of the word “lesbian.” Terrell not only has the most lesbian cred of the three (female with a female partner) but also the most testosterone! This episode offers more than enough to offend everyone.

Are trans folk so sexy that they can't resist transition? Autogynephilia is the theory that transgender folk invert the object of their sexual attraction inward, becoming that which they most admire... but does the theory have any merit?

Ray Williams: Autogynephilia, Detransition, & the Gender Cult

We're kicking off the new year by welcoming back the guest featured on my most popular episode for a long overdue part two!Following up on our prior conversation about the impact of conversion therapy legislation, Helen Joyce, a former journalist and advocate for Sex Matters, sheds light on misconceptions surrounding gender, biology, belief, and human rights.Helen emphasizes the importance of acknowledging sex in various aspects of society, from public facilities to anti-discrimination laws. Do laws attempting to protect certain groups from discrimination do so at the expense of others? How are freedom of speech and belief impacted? And what are the potential consequences of broad legislation aimed at banning conversion therapy?Delving into the UK's Tavistock GIDS clinic, we uncover the shocking practices and lack of evidence-based care for young individuals seeking gender identity services. While an interim report called for its closure, the story doesn't end there. Discover the current state of gender identity services in the UK and the challenges faced in providing safe and ethical care.We explore the evolving landscape of gender identity and the emergence of new categories within the transgender community. What underlying factors drive individuals to wish to dissociate themselves from their sexual biology?

The esteemed Dr. Leonard Sax joins us this week to share his expertise on how sex differences impact child-rearing, parenting, and education. We begin with a discussion of biological differences between male and female brains, particularly when it comes to sense perception, which can lead to misunderstandings between the sexes. Dr. Sax highlights the importance of understanding these differences in order to optimize children's learning and home environments.The conversation then shifts to the topic of gender atypicality and how parents and educators might embrace the richness and complexity of the human experience, allowing children to explore their interests and preferences without being labeled transgender.We discuss the challenges faced by boys in today's society, including the growing gender gap in academic achievements, and how teachers can cater to the unique developmental needs of both sexes in co-ed schools.Dr. Sax provides practical advice for parents and educators on how to navigate sex differences and create a culture of respect and understanding. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diversity of gender expression, while also respecting biological differences.Leonard Sax MD PhD is a board-certified family physician and PhD psychologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience. Over the past 22 years, he has visited more than 500 schools across the United States and worldwide, speaking to parents about many topics including social media, video games, and gender issues. He also leads workshops for teachers on gender-aware instructional strategies, on building a culture of respect, and on dealing with difficult parents. He has published four books for parents: Why Gender Matters, Boys Adrift, Girls on the Edge, and The Collapse of Parenting, which was a New York Times bestseller. Dr. Sax graduated Phi Beta Kappa at age 19 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and went on to earn both a Ph.D. in psychology and an M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.

Shannon Thrace is a "transwidow" and author of the must-read novel Eighteen Months: A Memoir of a Marriage Lost to Gender Identity. She joins handmaiden pick-me tranny-lover Nina for a women's-only talk about AUTOGYNEPHILIA, the cause célèbre currently ripping apart the TERFosphere. Is this about safeguarding and holding women's boundaries, or is it tribal signaling? Why is it OK for David Bowie to crossdress, but not Phil Illy? Should there be different crossdressing rules for men and women? Who gets to make those rules? Where do we draw our lines? Did Nina wade into a morass or a cesspool? These are questions without definitive answers, except one: Where is Corinna? Answer: at work today, so Nina recorded and edited this episode alone.

On this podcast we often explore the gender crisis affecting today's young and vulnerable people. Today we bring on a different perspective from Phil Illy, a man who self-identifies as autogynephilic, meaning that he experiences a sexual attraction to the idea of himself as a woman. Originally described by sexologist Ray Blanchard, autogynephilia is a common contributor to gender dysphoria in young men. Yet the sexual component of “gender identity” is rarely addressed in the process of diagnosing and reviewing “treatment options” for gender dysphoria. Why is this?Phil considers autogynephilia, as well as its counterpart in women, autoandrophilia, to belong to a broader category he calls autoheterosexuality. While many in the gender critical community consider these to be sexual fetishes, Phil refers to them instead as sexual orientations. Within that framework, he researched the issue extensively and wrote a book on the subject, Autoheterosexual: Attracted to Being the Other Sex.Phil makes several further assertions in this interview, while I play devil's advocate and push back, all in an attempt to bring understanding to listeners who are concerned for loved ones and expose both sides of the debate over this taboo topic. What does femininity mean to him? Is autoheterosexuality just another form of narcissism? What is its connection with autism?  How influenced is it by fetish pornography and niche online microcultures? Would it occur in a cultural vacuum? Is it heritable? How can it be a sexual orientation if it doesn't involve another person; isn't it just a fetish? Are “autohet” people capable of sustaining meaningful romantic relationships with others? How are their platonic relationships and quality of life? Are self-aware autogynephilic men threats to women, and under what conditions can we peacefully coexist?UPDATE: this episode was recorded prior to Phil's appearance at the Genspect conference in Denver, which became the subject of much heated debate on X. I was not at the conference, but have weighed in online to some degree. Things got so heated around this issue I have temporarily locked my account. The best commentary I have found on the debacle comes from the ever-admirable Heather Heying on her blog, Natural Selections: The Public Fetish.Phil Illy is a self described autogynephile and the author of Autoheterosexual: Attracted to Being the Other Sex. Phil received degrees in physics and mechanical engineering before retiring to Portland, Oregon, where he became best known for his skill at handstand twerking and juggling hula hoops.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Autogynephilia discourse is so absurdly bad on all sides, published by tailcalled on July 23, 2023 on LessWrong. In Blanchard's Dangerous Idea and the Plight of the Lucid Crossdreamer, Zack criticizes the rationalist community and the trans community for various things, including denial of autogynephilia as a cause of transness: I could go on ... but do I need to? After having seen enough of these laughable denials of autogynephilia, the main question in my mind has become less, "Is the two-type androphilic/autogynephilic taxonomy of MtF transsexuality approximately true?" (answer: yes, obviously) and more, "How dumb do you (proponents of gender-identity theories) think we (the general public) are?" (answer: very, but correctly). In some ways this is not a completely unreasonable critique, but I think it has a lot less bite once one realizes just how dysfunctional the discourse on this subject is, even among the ideology that Zack endorses as a replacement. A microcosm of the dysfunction can be seen in Michael Bailey and Kevin Hsu's study, How Autogynephilic Are Natal Females? (pdf). They are responding to a debate where Charles Moser, Scott Alexander, Julia Serano, and Jaimie Veale argue that cis women are often autogynephilic too, and that this suggests that autogynephilia in trans women is not so significant. In response, Michael Bailey (the effective leader of autogynephilia theory) and Kevin Hsu recruit samples of highly active members of online erotic AGP communities, and find that these samples are on average much more AGP than cis women, and therefore conclude that AGP in cis women is dubious. Substituting a sample of highly active members of online erotic AGP communities for trans women is an insanely biased methodology! And when called out on it (pdf), Michael Bailey essentially goes "well the debate isn't about trans women, it's about AGPs, so it's totally appropriate" (pdf), which again is just an insane response when very obviously the debate is about trans women! All the people Bailey is responding to were clearly talking about trans women in their texts! One would think that people would point out these problems so the study would be appropriately rejected. I have tried to do so, and some trans activists have tried to do so, but people on the Blanchardian side have generally rejected it. Now here's a thought experiment for you: If people cannot converge to the truth on objectively observable facts about who has said what that can be seen by reading the debates, how can they ever be expected to converge to the truth about complex psychological causal and distributional inference questions? Especially when the objectively observable facts concern what psychological causal and distributional inference questions are under dispute? Even if the specific point of AGP in cis women doesn't move you much (I don't think it should), this dysfunctional discourse might make you tempted to infer that Blanchardians do a lot of other shenanigans to make their theories look better than they really are. And I think you would be right to make that inference, because I have a lot of points of critique on my gender blog that go unaddressed. But my critiques aren't the core point I'm raising here, rather I'm pointing out that people have good reasons to be exhausted with autogynephilia theorists.

In some ways this is not a completely unreasonable critique, but I think it has a lot less bite once one realizes just how dysfunctional the discourse on this subject is, even among the ideology that Zack endorses as a replacement. A microcosm of the dysfunction can be seen in Michael Bailey and Kevin Hsu's study, How Autogynephilic Are Natal Females? (pdf). They are responding to a debate where Charles Moser, Scott Alexander, Julia Serano, and Jaimie Veale argue that cis women are often autogynephilic too, and that this suggests that autogynephilia in trans women is not so significant. In response, Michael Bailey (the effective leader of autogynephilia theory) and Kevin Hsu recruit samples of highly active members of online erotic AGP communities, and find that these samples are on average much more AGP than cis women, and therefore conclude that AGP in cis women is dubious. Substituting a sample of highly active members of online erotic AGP communities for trans women is an insanely biased methodology! And when called out on it (pdf), Michael Bailey essentially goes "well the debate isn't about trans women, it's about AGPs, so it's totally appropriate" (pdf), which again is just an insane response when very obviously the debate is about trans women! All the people Bailey is responding to were clearly talking about trans women in their texts! One would think that people would point out these problems so the study would be appropriately rejected. I have tried to do so, and some trans activists have tried to do so, but people on the Blanchardian side have generally rejected it. Now here's a thought experiment for you: If people cannot converge to the truth on objectively observable facts about who has said what that can be seen by reading the debates, how can they ever be expected to converge to the truth about complex psychological causal and distributional inference questions? Especially when the objectively observable facts concern what psychological causal and distributional inference questions are under dispute? Even if the specific point of AGP in cis women doesn't move you much (I don't think it should), this dysfunctional discourse might make you tempted to infer that Blanchardians do a lot of other shenanigans to make their theories look better than they really are. And I think you would be right to make that inference, because I have a lot of points of critique on my gender blog that go unaddressed. But my critiques aren't the core point I'm raising here, rather I'm pointing out that people have good reasons to be exhausted with autogynephilia theorists.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: I think Michael Bailey's dismissal of my autogynephilia questions for Scott Alexander and Aella makes very little sense, published by tailcalled on July 10, 2023 on LessWrong. There's been a lot of autogynephilia talk lately. One subject that sometimes comes up, but hasn't been discussed much on LessWrong, is how common autogynephilia is in cis women. Two datasets that are sometimes used for this question are Scott Alexander's and Aella's. Part of how they happened to be made is that I reached out to Scott and Aella, suggesting experimental questions for assessing autogynephilia, in ways that might function in cis women too and not just cis men: Picture a very beautiful woman. How sexually arousing would you find it to imagine being her? Do you find the thought of masturbating alone as a woman to be erotic? This is somewhat different from usual autogynephilia measures, which contain questions such as: Did you ever feel sexually aroused when putting on females' underwear or clothing? Have you ever become sexually aroused while picturing your nude female breasts? The reason I didn't include these latter questions is because it seems likely to me that they will be interpreted differently for males and females (e.g. if males do not have female anatomy, then they cannot be aroused by it literally, so instead they get aroused by imagining some other female anatomy that they don't actually have), and because these usual questions seem very bad if taken literally ("ever" and "while" rather than "how frequently" and "by" seem like there could be a lot of ways to get affirmative answers while not actually being autogynephilic - though the low rate of endorsement among women suggests to me that they are not taking it literally?). Anyway, Michael Bailey (activist researcher for autogynephilia ideology) responds in Aporia Magazine, saying "It's important not to confound y'know being seen as a woman or having a female body from having sex with a partner while having a female body or the prospect of going out on a date while wearing sexy clothes". I don't think this makes any sense. "Do you find the thought of masturbating alone as a woman to be erotic?" explicitly states that one doesn't have a partner around. "Picture a very beautiful woman. How sexually arousing would you find it to imagine being her?" doesn't suggest a partner any more than "Did you ever feel sexually aroused when putting on females' underwear or clothing?" or "Have you ever become sexually aroused while picturing your nude female breasts?" does. This seems like a completely unfounded critique. I think people who dismiss these questions should admit that they are starting with The Bottom Line that cis women are not autogynephilic, and reasoning backwards about what sorts of measures they do or do not want to endorse, rather than pretending that they are driven by evidence and desire for good measurement. Since nobody really knows how to assess this. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

In this episode, I dig into the question if the rapid rise in trans identities have to do with gender dysphoria or does autogynephilia and/or social contagion have something to do with it?

Joseph Burgo is a psychoanalyst and author and a co-director of Genspect, an organization representing thousands of parents of children caught up in the ongoing transgender social contagion. The organizatioin now seeks to supplant the World Professional Association of Transgender Health as an authoritative source of guidance for how to deal with gender dysphoric youth. Burgo gave a talk at the Genspect: the Bigger Picture conference in April, held concurrently and in the same city as the annual gathering of the European branch of WPATH, titled Autogynephilia, and the Sexualization of Shame which I published at this Substack last month. We had a conversation presented here in podcast form, soon to be posted at the Year Zero YouTube channel, which I encourage everyone to follow, as I'll be posting videos there more regularly. As always, full transcripts of audio interviews are available to paid subscribers. Year Zero is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Some excerpts: Wesley YangLet's talk about the standard definition of what autogynephilia is. How did we come to know that this was a condition at all and what is it?Joseph BurgoIt's very simple, it's men's sexual arousal at the idea or image of themselves as a woman. They are what we used to think as fetishistic cross-dressers — men who dress up in women's clothes and get off on it sexually. We know this from Ray Blanchard, who came up with the two types of transsexuals, the homosexual transsexual and the autogynephilic transsexual. Mike Bailey wrote about it, and Anne Lawrence did an exhaustive study on autogynephilia. What I find really frustrating is that these histories are really accounts of a fetish. I think of what Anne Lawrence wrote as the account of a fetish. It's all about the fetish — the history of the fetish, when it appeared, how it affects their sex life and their relationships, with no sense that it means something. I mentioned in my paper that Anne Lawrence had collected all this data, and then deleted the lengthy family histories of these guys, as if it were peripheral to her study. I find it enormously frustrating. But I do think that's the way the mental health profession is these days. The idea that symptoms have meaning, that they might have an unconscious significance that can be sorted out; that it's a way of resolving internal conflict, or it represents some defensive compromise. People don't think that way anymore, I do feel kind of like a dinosaur these days.Wesley YangIn liberal enclaves like this, especially in ones that are surrounded by red hinterlands, they just accept the next new thing immediately. They don't question them. “Yeah, being born in the wrong body? That makes perfect sense to us.”Were you already in tension and crisis with peers and with the school administration as a result?Joseph BurgoWe didn't have much to do with the school administration. I was set back, and I didn't really know how to cope with this. I approached the people that I thought would help. I think I speak for parents all over America who are having exactly this experience: the mental health professionals will tell you that you need to affirm your child's identity, and you're a bigot. We consulted with the endocrinologist just to get an idea of what the reality was of these drugs. I said to her, just in passing, that it's kind of frustrating that I can't find anybody who's willing to look at the mental health aspects of this, what else might be going on. She looked at me with utter contempt, and said, “You're not going to find that.” Like, “What an outlandish idea that there's a meaning to these symptoms.” It was really humiliating and awful.Wesley YangIncredible. You're a credentialed medical professional within this field, a colleague, and you have standing within that community. The consensus had coalesced to the point where your reflexive belief that, “of course, no one is born in the wrong body,” had already made you a pariah.Joseph BurgoTotally. This has a chilling effect on the profession. A number of people at the conference talked about this, and I know lots of people who won't go anywhere near gender because it's just too fraught. Or they've jumped on the affirmative bandwagon and have built practices affirming children, which is unconscionable to me, but they do it.Wesley YangThere are many states that have bans, I guess North Carolina doesn't, on what they call conversion therapy. Meaning if you help a child be comfortable in their own body, you are converting them from this fleeting psychological sense that they might be a member of the opposite sex, which we're going to reify and entrench as if it's their true identity and any deviation from it is a crime.Joseph BurgoWhich is an absolutely insane position. It's actually the opposite of what's true. One of the things I'm very upset about is that a lot of these gender nonconforming kids who would grow up to be gay or lesbian are being converted to trans. That's the real conversion therapy. I used to sit on the board of directors and was an officer and friends with everybody at my LGBT center where I live. When I dove into this space, I gave them an article I'd written and I said, “Do you want me to step down?” These are my friends and they said, “Yes, please go away.” They'd all jumped on board with the trans thing. It's the LGBT Center but now everything is trans. This was my big question: what if they're gay and not trans. And I'm treated like, “Go away.”Wesley YangYou're still able to practice. They didn't cancel and destroy you, or they didn't try to, or they didn't succeed at it.Joseph BurgoThe fortunate thing is that I'm at a point in my career where I have enough money. I'm in private practice. They can't really cancel me. What are they going do to me?Joseph BurgoAnd it justifies any kind of violence on your behalf, coming from you. The book I want to write next is really an update of Lasch. He diagnosed America famously as suffering from a narcissistic disorder. I think what we've got now is a culture that suffers from borderline personality disorder. My most recent essay, Living In An As If World, looks at the way this kind of detachment from reality, this “as if” existence that we're living where you can just make it up as you go along, is leading to detachment from reality, but also, increasingly, borderline behavior where borderline rage, vicious assaults, attempts to destroy people, which is kind of what borderlines are like, is widespread. It dominates Twitter, for sure. Twitter is like nonstop borderline rage all the time. I do think there's a cultural pathology that's gotten much, much worse. Even though I say the tide has turned, I think, “Can we really pull out? Can we pull back when the society is this ill?” I don't know.Wesley YangWhat is borderline personality disorder and how do you see it manifesting in the culture?Joseph BurgoThe personality disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder, are characterized by an unstable sense of self that vacillates back and forth between feeling like you're superior and feeling like you're trash. It's unstable emotional states, frequent outbursts of rage, when you are challenged or when you aren't validated. These people are prone to various kinds of addictions. They have a hard time forming realistic and lasting relationships. They tend to blow up their friendships and family relationships. These features sound, to me, a lot like the way trans rights activists behave. They really are the embodiment of a cluster B personality disorder, particularly borderline personality disorder. If you take it just on the way people respond to one another in space, the way people will be enraged about nothing and take other people down. They will feel slighted and go off in an explosive way. I think social media really is characterized by borderline kinds of communication. This is a public episode.

When our guest Phil Illy found out he had a sexual orientation that he'd never heard of, he set out to understand it. Following an extensive review of nearly a century of research from clinical sexology, Phil describes and demystifies autoheterosexuality, and how this much misunderstood sexual orientation can set someone on a path to becoming transgender. He helps spouses and partners of trans people learn how the course of autoheterosexuality progresses, how to better understand the ones they love, how to contextualize what is happening during transition, and have the best information to make decisions for their lives.  Need support?

This episode is being rereleased as part of our Top 5 Episodes of 2022 Countdown! We have completed eleven interviews and today we analyze the second half of our Pioneers Series. Stella and I discuss the psychological and emotional impact of some recent interviews. We review the shocking discussions we've had with several of our guests and reflect on the flawed Dutch Protocol, which is often held up as the gold standard in childhood dysphoria medical treatment. Dr. Anne Lawrence's reflections on Autogynephilia and the extreme measures she feels some might take are discussed in the context of the Dutch researcher's interview. We also think back about the role Az Hakeem's groups will play when we examine this period in hindsight, years down the line. Perhaps Susan Bradley is right about ASD being a large explanatory factor in understanding gender dysphoria more broadly. We also look at the Samoan Prime Minister's response to the Olympic Weightlifting competition: arguably the leaders of integrating male femininity into their society, the Samonas had sharp words for the Pacific Games Council's admission of trans MtF lifter, Laurel Hubbard, in competing against two Samoan women.We're wrapping up this season and we'll be returning to our regular weekly programs with our next episode on May 20th. If you are a Patron, thank you! And don't fret: we'll continue recording our weekly Q&As and posting them on Patreon. Thanks for listening!Extended NotesStella and Sasha, being therapists, naturally ask questions to gain understanding of one's thinking. They talk about the psychological and emotional toll this series had on them.They first analyze their conversation with Thomas Steensma and Annelou de Vries. Sasha shares what stood out to her.Stella also touches on her thoughts and why she sees avoidance tactics as anti-psychological.They explain what the gender dysphoria scale is all about.The entire premise of the puberty blockers experiment is based on the so-called success of the gender dysphoria scale. They both share their disagreements with these methods.Sasha talks about the unethical assumptions made with their studies.They move on to analyze their conversation with Anne Lawrence and how both their mouths dropped when she talked about castration.Stella asks why obsession is not being brought into this rather than just focusing on it as a gender identity topic.Sasha shares her thoughts about the dismissive counseling she has noticed in general.They both talk about their understanding of the depth of Anne's suffering through her experience.Sasha evaluates Anne's actions and responses as an obsession to a rejection of a body part, which is common in most Aspy people.Stella thinks there is still so much to be done on autistic diagnosis brainwork and she is looking forward to the next 15‒20 years.Everyone has a very high regard for the Dutch model, implying that they are being very careful but they both disagree.Sasha recalls how Steensma and de Vries may have perceived them as activists in their line of questioning.Stella and Sasha share more feedback about the Dutch study if they truly wanted it to be neutral and inclusive.What if the whole premise of the gender dysphoria scale is flawed? Sasha asks in retrospect.We shouldn't really change something unless we have a really clear understanding of what the current state of affairs is. Stella reflects on this against puberty blockers.They share how off-putting it was for them to talk about the human body in a flippant manner.What if Jazz Jennings was put on this gender dysphoria scale? Stella and Sasha talk about their disappointment further.Stella mentions Az Hakim and how she admires his approach vs. the rigid coldness of the so-called...

Dr. Blanchard is widely known for his typology of transexuals and as the originator of the term Autogynephilia, a controversial paraphilia which describes a heterosexual male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the idea of themselves as women. Dr. Blanchard was the psychologist in the Adult Gender Identity Clinic at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry—now part of the CAMH (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health)—from 1980–1995. Much of his research in those 15 years concerned transsexualism and milder forms of gender identity disorders. In 1995, he was appointed Head of the newly created Clinical Sexology Services at the CAMH. This unit comprised the Adult Gender Identity Clinic. Since his retirement, he has continued to be active in research on human sexuality.

Elle talks about several assumptions that people in her life have made and expressed about trans people -- many of which have been harmful. She clarifies these errors from her own experience and references some excellent resources on the history of transgender people (by Susan Stryker), dismising the defunct theory by Ray Blanchard on autogynephilia, and challenging the asinine concept of "rapid onset" gender dysphoria.

Beginning at puberty, Andrius was enthralled by a persistent desire to become a woman (otherwise known as "autogynephilia": the love of oneself as a woman). These feelings persisted and increased until his late 20's, where a series of spiritual, intellectual, and social events set him on a path of resolving his desires and bringing him into harmony with his male body and masculine identity.

In this long-awaited episode, we dive into some sensitive topics including transgender ideology (and so-called "inclusive language"), how transhumanism has invaded the birth world, and how "3rd party" reproduction harms women and children. This is really just the tip of the iceberg, and we will be picking apart some of the specifics in greater detail in the future. For now, we hope this episode provides some insight if you're new to these ideas and realities. 'Whose Body Is It?' podcast - 22.

Welcome to our second solo episode! This week, Dr. Debra Soh discusses all the taboo topics, including what causes autogynephilia (AGP), whether porn and anime are to blame, brain imaging research, what to do if you're in a relationship or married to someone with AGP, autoandrophilia, and what to look for in a therapist. // Get "The End of Gender" at DrDebraSoh.com (FREE Audible audiobook), @DrDebraSoh // Please support this podcast: Get 5 FREE trial packs of Athletic Greens and FREE Vitamin D at athleticgreens.com/SOH (use code SOH) // Patreon: patreon.com/drdebrasoh // Executive production and audio engineering by Dr. Debra Soh © 2022 Dr. Debra Soh

The theory of Autogynephilia is one of the more controversial and much neglected aspects of the trans* conversation. Some people say it doesn't exist, while others say that most natal male trans* persons have Autogynephilia. Autogynephilia “is defined as a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female.” Several scholars have done a lot of research into this phenomenon: Ray Blanchard, J. Michael Bailey, Anne Lawerance (who is a self identified autogynephilic trans* medical researcher), and several others. My conversation today is with my friend Danny, who says he experiences a kind of autogynephilia and has learn to walk in faithfulness to Jesus in the midst of it all. –––––– PROMOS Save 10% on courses with Kairos Classroom using code TITR at kairosclassroom.com! –––––– Sign up with Faithful Counseling today to save 10% off of your first month at the link:  faithfulcounseling.com/titr or use code TITR at faithfulcounseling.com –––––– Save 30% at SeminaryNow.com by using code TITR –––––– Support Preston Support Preston by going to patreon.com Venmo: @Preston-Sprinkle-1 Connect with Preston Twitter | @PrestonSprinkle Instagram | @preston.sprinkle Youtube | Preston Sprinkle Check out Dr. Sprinkle's website prestonsprinkle.com Stay Up to Date with the Podcast Twitter | @RawTheology Instagram | @TheologyintheRaw If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to leave a review. www.theologyintheraw.com

J Michael Bailey authored the seminal The Man Who Would Be Queen, which attempted to bring to a mainstream audience Blachard's “Two Types” of male transsexuality: effeminate homosexuals, and autogynephiles, men sexually aroused at the idea of themselves as women. Is autogynephilia (AGP) a sexuality, a paraphilia, or both? Is male bisexuality linked to AGP? How common is AGP? (Bailey: “We don't know.” Corinna: “Very, at tech conferences.”) What are the similarities between autogynephiles, furries, wannabe amputees, and "adult babies"? Can women be GAMPs? Are traps gay? What is up with adult AGP men favoring castrating AGP boys? Questions abound, but one thing is for certain: it's one hell of a paraphilia.

We have completed eleven interviews and today we analyze the second half of our Pioneers Series. Stella and I discuss the psychological and emotional impact of some recent interviews. We review the shocking discussions we've had with several of our guests and reflect on the flawed Dutch Protocol, which is often held up as the gold standard in childhood dysphoria medical treatment. Dr. Anne Lawrence's reflections on Autogynephilia and the extreme measures she feels some might take are discussed in the context of the Dutch researcher's interview. We also think back about the role Az Hakeem's groups will play when we examine this period in hindsight, years down the line. Perhaps Susan Bradley is right about ASD being a large explanatory factor in understanding gender dysphoria more broadly. We also look at the Samoan Prime Minister's response to the Olympic Weightlifting competition: arguably the leaders of integrating male femininity into their society, the Samonas had sharp words for the Pacific Games Council's admission of trans MtF lifter, Laurel Hubbard, in competing against two Samoan women.   We're wrapping up this season and we'll be returning to our regular weekly programs with our next episode on May 20th. If you are a Patron, thank you! And don't fret: we'll continue recording our weekly Q&As and posting them on Patreon. Thanks for listening!   Extended Notes Stella and Sasha, being therapists, naturally ask questions to gain understanding of one's thinking. They talk about the psychological and emotional toll this series had on them. They first analyze their conversation with Thomas Steensma and Annelou de Vries. Sasha shares what stood out to her. Stella also touches on her thoughts and why she sees avoidance tactics as anti-psychological. They explain what the gender dysphoria scale is all about. The entire premise of the puberty blockers experiment is based on the so-called success of the gender dysphoria scale. They both share their disagreements with these methods. Sasha talks about the unethical assumptions made with their studies. They move on to analyze their conversation with Anne Lawrence and how both their mouths dropped when she talked about castration. Stella asks why obsession is not being brought into this rather than just focusing on it as a gender identity topic. Sasha shares her thoughts about the dismissive counseling she has noticed in general. They both talk about their understanding of the depth of Anne's suffering through her experience. Sasha evaluates Anne's actions and responses as an obsession to a rejection of a body part, which is common in most Aspy people. Stella thinks there is still so much to be done on autistic diagnosis brainwork and she is looking forward to the next 15‒20 years. Everyone has a very high regard for the Dutch model, implying that they are being very careful but they both disagree. Sasha recalls how Steensma and de Vries may have perceived them as activists in their line of questioning. Stella and Sasha share more feedback about the Dutch study if they truly wanted it to be neutral and inclusive. What if the whole premise of the gender dysphoria scale is flawed? Sasha asks in retrospect. We shouldn't really change something unless we have a really clear understanding of what the current state of affairs is. Stella reflects on this against puberty blockers. They share how off-putting it was for them to talk about the human body in a flippant manner. What if Jazz Jennings was put on this gender dysphoria scale? Stella and Sasha talk about their disappointment further. Stella mentions Az Hakim and how she admires his approach vs. the rigid coldness of the so-called experts. Psychotherapy vs. Bodily Autonomy. Sasha compares the difference between their approach and their guests in this series. Psychology is very powerful and Sasha believes that we have a lot of opportunities to make our own future regardless of transitions....

WARNING: This episode contains explicit descriptions of rape and violence. In this episode, Maddy shares her many insights after being groomed into autogynephilia by a dysphoric child rapist and the numerous injuries she's endured since then. We cover the nuances of her childhood programming to blindly trust her adult male neighbor, her near-death experience while being raped, and the permanent physical, emotional and spiritual stunting that occurred in the wake of her trauma. We also talk through Maddy's valiant conversations with her child rapist and loved ones; the dark connections of his current profession as a physician's assistant facilitating the trans-ing of kids, to his dysphoric fetishes and family life; and the responsibility Maddy carries for her rapist's sister and for children everywhere. Maddy is committed to opening eyes to the harms of gender ideology, puberty blockers, transhumanism and the ills that will continue to occur as women and children are forced to invite autogynephilic males with paraphilias into our public and private spaces. Maddy has chosen to remain anonymous for this interview.

Ray Blanchard was the psychologist in the Adult Gender Identity Clinic at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry 1980–1995. Much of his research in those 15 years concerned transsexualism and milder forms of gender identity disorders. In 1995, he was appointed Head of the newly created Clinical Sexology Services at the CAMH. This unit comprised the Adult Gender Identity Clinic and the Kurt Freund Laboratory, the latter being the oldest laboratory in North America for the psychophysiological assessment of erotic interests in sexual offenders and other men with problematic sexual behavior. Blanchard retired from the CAMH in 2010. Since his retirement, he has continued to be active in research on human sexuality, often in collaboration with former students, colleagues, and their students.   Today, Ray tells us how he got into the field, as he was primarily interested in conducting sex research. And then he found himself in a gender identity clinic. He got interested in boiling down the cumbersome and sprawling categorizations of gender dysphoria and deemphasizing women's clothing. He wanted to uncover the wider framework that explains a variety of behaviors for dysphoric males. The term autogynephilia was born. Ray describes common misunderstandings about the term and addresses some myths about AGP, clusters of behavior, and what he calls “erotic mislearnings.” Links: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ray-Blanchard (Dr. Blanchard's Publications) https://www.amazon.com/Trapped-Mens-Bodies-Autogynephilic-Transsexualism/dp/1461451817 (Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: Narratives of Autogynephilic Transsexualism, by Anne Lawrence) https://www.amazon.com/Man-Would-Queen-Gender-Bending-Transsexualism/dp/0309084180 (The Man Who Would Be Queen: The Science of Gender-Bending and Transsexualism, by J. Michael Bailey) Extended Notes A little bit about Ray and why he decided to work in sexology. What kind of classifications were there at the time for “transsexualism”? From 1980 to 1995, the females who wanted to transition in Ray's clinic, all of them were attracted to other females. Ray talks about his observations with his patients that had autogynephilia and some common themes he saw within this group. Ray suggests listeners watch the difference in manners between Blaire White and Caitlyn Jenner. Ray shares his experiences in this field and how it's changed throughout the years. Did Ray ever receive backlash for his work? Ray doesn't believe there's a connection between sexual abuse and gender dysphoria. Are male-to-female transexuals more likely to be pedophiles? Ray says no. Can autogynephilia be passed down to children? Is this genetic? Sasha wonders if it was easier to get the truth out of the patient back then vs. now; a time where people have an agenda to prove they're trans. Having one erotic paraphilia tends to predispose you to other paraphilia. It's not just an “autogynephilia” thing. Ray shares his thoughts on why pedophiles become pedophiles. What are some of the misconceptions of autogynephilia? Out of Ray's clinical practice, only two women stood out as different from a gynophile. How come so many males transitioned in their late 40s? Ray shares his thoughts on trans widows and how they must be feeling when their partner comes out as trans. This podcast is sponsored by ReIME and Genspect.

Julia Serano is a PhD molecular biologist, writer, and musician whose books include Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, Outspoken: A Decade of Transgender Activism and Trans Feminism, and the surrealist novel 99 Erics. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, TIME, The Guardian, The Daily Beast, Salon, and elsewhere.Dr. Serano is a patient debunker of anti-trans talking points, and has written a number of articles patiently taking apart common misconceptions. Her "transgender glossary of sorts" is also an essential resource for those who find gender and sexuality terms confusing or imprecise. Dr. Serano joined to go through some of the most common arguments made about trans people in the popular press and show why they are pernicious, factually incorrect nonsense. Having previously spent two decades as a professional biologist, she corrects the laughably ignorant claims that transgender people misunderstand or ignore "biology." In fact, it is the critics who are unacquainted with the basics of science. In this episode, we look at claims made by J.K. Rowling, Helen Joyce, Deborah Soh, Abigail Shrier, and Ben Shapiro. Julia applies the same kind of patient and informed explanatory approach that characterizes her prolific writing on the subject. We didn't get to all of the major talking points but you can check out Julia's writings on some of the common ones here:- Bathrooms and Sexual Predators - examining the claim that allowing people to use the bathroom of their choice will increase instances of sexual victimization. In fact, the opposite is the case. - Extinction of Lesbians - examining the claim that increased trans identification is a threat to the existence of lesbians - Social Contagion - examining the claim that young girls are experiencing "rapid onset gender dysphoria" and becoming trans because of peer influence - Autogynephilia - examining the claim that trans identities are built around sexual desire - Desistance and Detransition - examining the claim that trans children will grow out of it or are being pressured to - "Trans Women Aren't Women" - examining the claim that trans people are delusional about their biology- "Biological sex" - examining faulty claims made about biologyIn Current Affairs you can read Nathan's own articles on J.K. Rowling, Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, and the debate about trans women in sports. Natalie Wynn's video about Ben Shapiro is here. The Current Affairs article about a lack of access to supportive medical interventions for trans youth is here. 

Limpida is a young trans woman who finally started to understand her experiences of gender dysphoria by reading the work of psychologists Dr Blanchard, Dr Bailey and in particular, Dr. Anne Lawrence's Men Trapped in Men's Bodies and Becoming What We Love. She describes how her Autogynephilia, Autism and intrusive thoughts created a "splintered ego" (the emergence of a separate self) which eventually led to her decision to take cross sex hormones in 2019.   Limpida's Substack: https://strigoi.substack.com/p/a-few-notes-on-agp    Anne Lawrence: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.656.9256&rep=rep1&type=pdfhttps://www.academia.edu/40106849/Men_trapped_in_mens_bodies   Forward to Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257765097_Foreword_to_Men_Trapped_in_Men%27s_Bodies   Michael Bailey: https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/JMichael-Bailey/TMWWBQ.pdf

I speak to Helen about the fast-developing topic of Transgenderism. About self-identification, trans medicine from John Money to the tragic case of David Reimer, how the UK ended up as TERF island, Trans Widows, Autogynephilia & the work of Ray Blanchard, gender as performance and *essential quality of the soul*, the huge difference between mtf and ftm transgender, and how liberal individualism & transhumanism play into this new booming field of identity.

Activist Jennifer Bilek writes at the intersection of humanity, technology and runaway capitalism. She names the rich, white, technophilic elites responsible for the whirlwind of the gender industry and identity medicine. Her focus encompasses the influence of the medical industrial complex on LBG corporatization and the continued efforts of trans ideology to deny the genetic boundary between men and women. In articulating the complex labyrinth of power - including collusion between global banks and NGOs, Jennifer details the corporatist cult which grooms the populace for profit and control by driving the colonization of female biology and the AI takeover of human reproduction. The mammoth infrastructure of transhumanism and autogynephilia drives the dis-embodiment and dis-membering human beings. She speaks to the insanity of celebrating castration, the death spiral we are in, and the communal solidarity on the other side of speaking the truth.
