Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael J Bailey

We brought Phil Illy back for the launch his book: Autoheterosexual: Attracted to Being the Other Sex. Available today as a paperback, with the ebook and hardcover available on Tuesday, June 13th. Here is what our own Aaron Terrell had to say about Autoheterosexual, "Expertly researched yet entirely accessible to any layperson interested in this topic. Illy explores the most common type of gender dysphoria with compassion and clarity...You will come away from this book with a much deeper understanding of the human experience at the heart of this current cultural phenomenon." Head over to Amazon (https://t.co/sVsGOmehu9) where you can purchase your copy as well as read reviews from other friends of the pod, including Dr. Michael Bailey. -------- Phil Illy is an autoheterosexual author who, in his words, “aims to mainstream autoheterosexuality and destigmatize it so that more of his kind can jettison shame and live in union with their inner cross-gender spirit.” Prior to writing Autoheterosexual: Attraction 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.

Here is a brief glossary of terms: "Allo" means other, or external. "Auto" means self, or internal. "Gyno" means female. "Andro" means male. "Philia" means love (or, less euphemistically, sexual attraction). "Meta" means self-referential   The vast majority of people are, in sexologic terms, alloheterosexual. A heterosexual male is technically "allogynephilic". But a male who is attracted to the thought or image of himself as female is "autogynephilic", while a female who is attracted to herself as male is "autoandrophilic". These last two are what our guest has termed "autoheterosexual". The final term above, meta, is used in this context to describe the type of external sexual behaviors of autoheterosexuals, who often experience (and act upon) homosexual desires as a means of validating their self-perception as the opposite sex. For example, an autogynephilic male is not attracted to other males (not alloandrophilic), but sexual behavior with males serves as a validation of the self as female. That is metaandrophilia.   Other resources on the topic: Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism webinar with Dr Michael Bailey about different kinds of gender dysphoria: https://www.youtube.com/live/Hb0RwBgkotA?feature=share Dr. Michael J.

Dr. Michael Bailey is an American https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychologist (psychologist), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioural_genetics (behavioral geneticist), and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor (professor) at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwestern_University (Northwestern University) best known for his work on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiology (etiology), or origins, of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_orientation (sexual orientation). He maintains that sexual orientation is heavily influenced by biology and male https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality (homosexuality) is most likely inborn. Dr. Bailey's 2003 book, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Would_Be_Queen (The Man Who Would Be Queen), gave an accessible, intimate, and compassionate account of male sexuality, with a focus on gender-nonconforming boys, gay men, and male-to-female transsexuals. The book was nominated for an award, which was later retracted, from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_Literary_Foundation (Lambda Literary Foundation), an organization that promotes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_literature (gay literature). Aside from legitimate critiques of the book and Dr. Bailey's theories, attacks spilled into the realm of the egregious as a small group of radical transwomen viciously went after Mike, his reputation, and his family. All of this was documented thoroughly in Alice Dreger's book, Galileo's Middle finger, which ultimately exonerated Dr. Bailey of the accusations against him.   Today, Mike explains how he got interested in working with sexuality during a time when it was quite taboo in academia. After publishing research on male sexuality, Mike began encountering transexual women who wanted to talk about their experiences. He came to recognize that some MtF transsexuals were nothing like what he'd expected. He went on to study this further, write his book, and soon after, all hell broke loose. While Mike is certainly no contrarian, he unapologetically tells the truth and has committed himself to do his job well as a psychological researcher.   Links:   Download The Man Who Would Be Queen:  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281747420_The_Man_Who_Would_Be_Queen (Researchgate.net/publication/281747420_The_Man_Who_Would_Be_Queen)   Christine Benevunuto: Sex Changes: A Memoir of Marriage, Gender, and Moving On https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085UCVKY/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 (Amazon.com/gp/product/B0085UCVKY/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0)   Alice Dreger (June 2008). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170124 (“The controversy surrounding The Man Who Would Be Queen: a case history of the politics of science, identity, and sex in the Internet age”). Archives of Sexual Behavior. 37 (3): 366–421. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi_(identifier) (doi):https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs10508-007-9301-1 (10.1007/s10508-007-9301-1).   Ray Blanchard (1989). “The classification and labeling of nonhomosexual gender dysphorias”. Archives of Sexual Behavior. 18 (4): 315–334. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi_(identifier) (doi):https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fbf01541951 (10.1007/bf01541951). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMID_(identifier) (PMID) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2673136 (2673136). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S2CID_(identifier) (S2CID) https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:43151898 (43151898).  Extended Notes A little bit about Michael and how he got into this field of work. Back then, there was stigma that if you were researching about gay or queer topics, you were also gay/queer. Gender non-conforming children tend to be correlated to having same-sex sexual orientation later on in life. However, where do transgender people fall in between all of this? Michael shares the first time he spoke with a transgendered woman. There are different types of transgendered people, and reasons why they... Support this podcast
