@ColinAndEV It’d be interesting to survey how many negative/positive personal experiences it takes for someone to concretize their assumptions about a category of individuals, especially one as large and general as men & women.

@Jacques_allam @elegationvain It's understandable. You may or may not understand this, but it genuinely, and honestly, feels like love and not lust. This is why the discourse around AGP, and how it's being characterized by most GCs, does not, at all, align with the lived experience of it.

@deeveemee27 I think it’s the mental connection to AGP and the confronting the “unacceptable” in oneself. Male sexuality is vilified and quite frankly misunderstood by most female GC folks (with its motivations being often reduced to pure, uncontrolled, oppressive, emotionless depravity).

I imagine within the next 10-15yrs, when the next generation is my age, "Bro, it's 2034. No one cares that you're AGP." will be a common sentiment. That's actually my real life experience now, so it'll likely continue to improve with further research and societal maturity.

@Jacques_allam @elegationvain If you were to say a straight/gay person that, "Your feelings are nothing more than then a propensity to be .... by the opposite/same sex.'" They probably would say that's a rather reductionistic view of their attraction. But this is how "in denial" AGPs feel.

@elegationvain If you listen to older AGPs (trans, crossdressers etc) 99% of them say they felt this way since 5/6yrs old, but were confused &too ashamed to talk about. It’s not a stretch to say with more acceptance of male gender bending, boys will identify as trans rather than stay closeted.

Without it, I think it's easy to get swayed into back & white thinking ("I have to 100% transition or 100% repress") and not fully grasp what it is about your situation that's making you distressed, and the most ideal ways to manage it.

@elegationvain This reminds me of Blanchard's findings, and why he doesn't really believe AAP is the AGP analog. Most, but probably not all, AAPs specifically want to be gay men, while most AGPs simply want to be women. The thought of being a lesbian is an afterthought, not a specific desire.

The research made sense to me, but, no offense to Blanchard or Bailey, what helped me the most was seeing an AGP peer , namely Phil, being real and chill about the whole thing, just living his life. Data needs to "humanized" to make an impact.

@anne__onymous_ @olivegreen22 @elegationvain It is sort of bizarre with GC clinicians (but not really), because AGP is the best theory we have at this point, and seems to yield best outcomes for those who understand it well, whether or not they medicalize. To not use it, and disregard it as a useful metric, is unfortunate.

@deeveemee27 @elegationvain I do find it interesting how adamant that particular subset of GC folks are about crossdressing in boys is due to trauma and societal pressures of being male, while it’s simply depravity in adults. And any AGP saying he’s felt this way since childhood w/o trauma or porn is lying.

@cbucksrules @doeraymefahsoul I mean, it's called gender dysphoria for a reason, and why it's a disorder ( i.e. cause of mental distress) in psychiatry. Medication and/or psychotherapy is how these individuals are being "helped". If a trans person is dysphoric they aren't medicalizing for social status.

@GirlScout27 @elegationvain I think the feminists in question tend to conflate causation and correlation a bit too often. A man's gender doesn't cause him to act immorally. Just as AGP doesn't cause an AGP to act selfishly/ inappropiately. It's a human thing, not an [insert gender/orientation] thing.

@doeraymefahsoul @MillieCheesey People may think sex is primarily, but it’s definitely secondary to gender with regards to attraction. Majority of men just aren’t into women, they’re into feminine women. If sex was primarily, then they’d be into any woman (including butch lesbians) just because they’re women.

@elegationvain I don’t necessarily like this comparison (the one below), because I don’t think AGP is exactly like “regular” attraction. But where I grew up, it was common to hear older folks say whilst seeing gay men holding hands “I don’t care if you’re gay, just keep it in the bedroom.”
