READER’S POLL: What is the correct term for crossgender arousal?

Felix Conrad

Sissy Tests and Quizzes

For two years we’ve been writing blog posts about crossgender arousal…and there’s still no agreed term for it. So, please pitch in and tell me what term you use for…a biological boy who is dressing like a girl, imagining he is female and getting turned on. He identifies as a boy…but is questioning his gender and things might change in the future. Scroll down for the poll. Whichever term gets the majority vote will (in this community, anyway,) be the term of choice.   (If the above survey doesn’t show up it means we’ve exceeded our monthly limit.)

Maybe there is such a thing as a masochistic emasculation fetish…

Sexology

The background: 2016 A couple of years ago, there was a famous forum-fight between the ‘crossdreamers’ led by Jack Molay and the ’emasculation fetishists’ led by Wxhlyup (hereby referred to as Wix.) This argument was different from the Blanchard thing because Wix wasn’t claiming that crossgender arousal was a manifestation of autogynephilia, but a masochistic emasculation fetish: MEF. The idea of MEF is that the sexual motivation for crossdreamers and ‘autogynephiliac’ transwomen is not so much feminization – but the masochistic crushing of their masculinity. Therefore, feminization fantasies are not powered by a love of the feminine but a love of the humiliation that comes from a man being feminized. What Wix was right about: 2018 Now that I have spent a lot more time investigating ‘sissy’ subculture, I recognize that there is indeed a distinct form of sexual behaviour that corresponds to MEF. However, in my opinion, this fetish…

A quick chat with Molay: autogynephilia as an unverifiable proposition

Felix Conrad

Autogynephilia

  Arguments against autogynephilia – as a cause of transsexualism – aren’t necessary because it is what we call… an unverifiable proposition. The proposition is that transsexualism is a product of sexuality. That can not, with our current scientific knowledge, be proven or disproven. Therefore, it makes no sense to even bother talking about the theory because discourse will never lead to a resoloution. The mistake is to treat the presence of crossgender arousal in a transsexual as proof that sexuality causess transsexualism. That is not a proof. Even if every single transsexual in the world admits cross gender arousal it is not a proof because the cross gender arousal could be caused by the transsexualism. There are also dozens of other possible explanations. Therefore, trying to prove some transsexuals don’t have cross gender arousal or that women also experience cross gender arousal is not only unnecesary, but also gives…

How to defeat the ‘Paraphilia by Association’ argument…

Autogynephilia

I’ve just been rereading Anne Lawrence, and one passage particularly struck me: the relationship between other self directed sexual behaviors and crossdreaming. Anne Lawrence uses these behaviors as proof that crossdreaming (autogynephilia) is a paraphilia and that any resulting female identification the result of said paraphilia. The argument We know that for every sexual preference there exists a subgroup of people who are not just attracted to the target, but attracted to the idea of themselves as the target. Thus, there is a small percentage of paedophiles who are turned on by the idea of being children, a number of plush toy fetishists who are turned on by the idea of being plush toys, and… a number of heterosexual guys who are turned on by the idea of being women etc. Clearly, this sexual desire to be the target is caused by a paraphilia; obviously a person who wants to…

Autogynephilia

One of the most popular hobbies amongst transgender folk is the ancient art of Blanchard bashing. In its spontaneous form it can involve nothing more than a conversation in which the autogynephilia theory proposed by sexologist, Raymond Blanchard, is vigorously criticised. In the future, though – when raving transsexuals finally take over the world – Blanchard bashing will take on a more organised form with mass rallies where transfundamentalists gather in the street to burn his books, shout anti Blanchard slogans and preach jihad against the cisgender infidels. What proponents of Blanchard bashing fail to see, however, is that – despite the offensive language of his work – he did make a valuable contribution to transgender studies. Before Blanchard – or Blancho – as I like to call him (just the name Blanchard is enough to make me yawn) – there were only two types of cross-gender behavior. There were…

The late-onset transsexual, transphobia, and passing…

Late onset transsexualism

Trans-gender media features a small handful of male to female transsexuals who succsesfully pass as cis-women. A classic example of this is Geena Rocero – who worked as a high flying fashion model for more than a decade. These noble women have chosen to out themselves as transgender and they should receive all the respect that such action deserves. However, the experience that these women have had – both in their trajectory as transsexuals and in their coming out – is markedly different to that of the comunal garden late onset transsexual. The reason is the same reason why some women are immediately courted and favoured over others: beauty. Whether a human is transsexual or not… if he or she is flawlessly beautiful at the moment of presenting themselves to the world… acceptance is forthcoming. I recently saw a perfect example of this on a British chat show when an…

2. Should I transition? – The reality of telling your family you’re transgender

Felix Conrad

Transition

Imagine the scene… Mum and Dad opposite you on the sofa, eagerly awaiting your ‘announcement’. They’ve already discussed it among themselves and have settled on three possibilities… a) you’re getting married. b) you’re going to be a father. c) you’re going to get promoted. Your actual announcement… d) none of the above. Definitely, none of the above. You nervously tell them that you’re going to transition and your Dad asks ‘That’s an island somewhere in the Carribean, isn’t it?”   Emotional Dimensions: The first, rather confusing law of dealing with family is this… That most of what you think… isn’t really what you think. What this means is that our relationship with our parents and our siblings has an emotional, subconscious element that is beyond our control. Therefore, whatever ideas you formulate in your conscious mind, for example – “I don’t care what they think…” are not necessarily your real…

5. Should I transition? – The workplace

Felix Conrad

Transition

This is an excellent video on transition in the workplace – from a Director of Human resources (unfortunately the audio quality is low, but listenable.) Introduction Let’s use your imagination to envision transition at work. I want you to imagine arriving at work on that first day in a stylish shirt-dress you picked up from Nordstrom on the weekend, tastefully made up, and wearing brown heels. I want you to imagine the exact route you will take from the moment you enter the premises to the moment you arrive at your desk, and finally to your bosses desk to bid him or her good morning. Think of every person you will see along the way and think of what words you will exchange. Once each interaction is finished, imagine the camera swinging back and capturing the comments they are making to each other once you’re out of earshot. What are…

6. Should I transition – Hobbies, exercise, socialising

Felix Conrad

Transition

Maybe you like hockey, maybe you go ballroom dancing, or maybe deep sea diving is your thing. As later episodes of I’m Cait showed us – with Caitlyn stressing about her status at the local golf club – transition affects every corner of our lives… including our hobbies and sporting life. Above is an excellent video from Caro Land who has a channel on youtube. She talks frankly about getting outed at her local gym. As a fitness fanatic she was extremely taken aback by the experience and is still debating whether to return there. Questions What is your principal hobby and how would it be affected by your transition? What is your principle sporting activity ” “? Social life It is impossible to find a study of happiness that does not emphasise the importance of friends and socialising. I want you to focus less on your friends’ immediate reaction…

Direct evidence that the autogynephilia theory fuels transphobia

Felix Conrad

Autogynephilia

On the weekend I discovered a YouTube channel dedicated to ‘debunking the transgender narrative’ and exposing late onset transsexuals for what they are: deluded frauds who are all in the throes of a fetish called autogynephilia. To my horror, they then started to read directly from Anne Lawrence’s essays – paying particular attention to lines that referred to transsexualism as a paraphilia i.e. – a fetish. I then visited the website of the presenters which had athe large banner above about Caitlyn and AGP. (I am not going to link to the site because that will bring them publicity). In article after article they use the autogynephilia theory to ridicule, humiliate and denigrate transgender people, even going so far as to give lists of well-known transgender rapists and molesters. The authors of this site are two ‘reformed’ trans people and it quickly emerges in their videos that they are involved…
