Watching this video confirms why embracing autogynephilia can never be a good idea.
If you already have problems related to passing and familial acceptance, it’s surely madness to start broadcasting to the world that your womanhood comes from autogynephilia.
“What’s autogynephilia?” they will say, and even if you try to dress it up in flowery language like Rya “the love of oneself as a woman” they will soon go online and read that it is… ‘a paraphilia.’ There are far more neutral and scientific ways of talking about the link between sexuality and gender than Blanchard’s.
