Autogynephilia, Rod Fleming's World

Autogynephilia is the cause of male transition desire.

For many years I was persuaded by Professor Ray Blanchard’s Typology of transition desire. This had one major division, between homosexual and non-homosexual. Blanchard posited that homosexual transition desire was powered by the subject’s androphilia, desire for men, but not the latter, which therefore had to have another impetus. Blanchard invented a diagnosis called autogynephillia to provide this. He divided Autogynephilia or AGP into Anatomical, Physiological, Behavioural and Transvestic types, to which was later added Interpersonal. But in fact these primary divisions and the subdivisions are all redundant. That is because all non-commercial male transition desire is driven by autogynephilia, which Blanchard had decided did not apply to his ‘homosexual transsexual’ or HSTS category.

Let me be clear: by that I mean that both homosexual and non-homosexual transition desire, in males, are driven by autogynephilia. Let me explain.

Autogynephilia Counselling (Post)

Autogynephilia is a dissociative mental condition which in extreme cases may make a male attempt to appear to be or otherwise mimic a woman.

Although Autogynephilia also occurs in females, where it is much less well understood and very little researched, most individuals with clinical Autogynephilia are men.

The Autogynephilic Artefact: How it starts

Originally posted 2022-03-17 17:14:11.

There is some confusion about the nature of Autogynephilia, the formation of the Erotic Target Location Error and its stimulus, the Autogynephilic artefact, and when it actually forms. So let’s address that.

For many years there was a body of opinion suggesting that Autogynephilia itself appeared in middle age, thirty to forty-five and later, but that is not the case. The Autogynephilic artefact, the subject of the ETLE and auto-erotic desire, actually forms in adolescence, when the boy starts to masturbate. It’s when it crystallizes.

If you are having problems related to Autogynephilia, or what you think might be Autogynephilia, please consider contacting me through this link or one of the other contacts. I provide confidential counselling sessions to help.

Autogynephiles’ widows and orphans

Originally posted 2022-09-16 16:44:50.

What about the families, when grown-ass men suddenly decide that ‘they were always women’. When a transvestic Autogynephile decides the time has come to ‘crack his egg’ and ‘be a woman’? When he selfishly indulges a paraphilia, a sexual fetish in which he is the object of his own masturbatory fetish? Effectively, wives and children become widows and orphans, because when the man throws away his last connection to reality, he is dead. A succubus that he bred and gives life to, has taken over his body, literally.

Why are men who do this lauded as ‘brave’ and ‘heroes’? Isn’t it their widows and orphans who are really the brave ones? How does a child deal with being told that ‘Daddy is a Mummy now — so you have two.’ And what about the widows, left crying over the loss of a man they loved, while being forced, every day, to live with his murderer?

No, that child does not have two mummies. She has one mummy and a monster that killed and devoured her father, living in the same house, demanding affection and even love — as if he ever felt any for his widows and orphans — well, while they were still his wife and children anyway.

Just as Cronos devoured his sons, so the succubus, the Autogynephilic artefact, will devour its own host. Painting: Francisco Goya.

This YouTube video discusses the issue of the widows and orphans in detail, please watch it.

Fetishistic Transvestite? What’s that?

Originally posted 2022-02-20 18:55:58.

You know, if you really want to ruin your Saturday night, go hang around a fetishistic transvestite message forum.

A fetishistic transvestite is a non-homosexual male is besotted by himself — as a woman. This condition is powered by autogynephilia, which is a form of autoeroticism. Dr Ray Blanchard’s coined the term the 1980s at the Clarke Institute in Toronto. It is safe to say that neither this institution nor Dr Blanchard have found favour with many a fetishistic transvestite.

Blanchard was trying to put some statistical flesh on his ‘two types’ theory of transition desire. In fact, the idea that there were two types of male who might want to appear to be female, or at least feminine, had been known for many years, since the time of Magnus Hirschfeld. One type was easy to understand, the other so complex that some researchers thought there was a multiplicity.

Homosexual or autogynephilic: Blanchard’s false dichotomy

Originally posted 2021-01-07 14:43:41.

Autogynephilia (AGP) was defined by Dr Ray Blanchard as ‘A man’s propensity to be aroused at the thought or image of himself as a woman’. This has been held up as one of two causes of male transsexualism, the other being homosexuality. But what is it and what actually causes it? Is it actually different from homosexuality?

The key to this lies in first understanding that autogynephilia is just an expression of gynephilia, attraction to femininity. All forms of attraction to femininity are driven by gynephilia. Secondly and perhaps less obviously, all forms of male transition desire are caused by it. The complication arises in that this attraction is reflexive; it is auto-erotic. I’ll explain this.

Further, so-called ‘Gender Dysphoria’ insofar as it represents a more or less debilitating desire to perform feminine gender by a male, is also just autogynephilia. It has no separate existence. However, as above, all forms of male transition desire are expressions of autogynephilia because the crux is performance: autogynephilia is the desire to perform femininity. Therefore, to find a cause for male transition desire, we must find the cause of gynephilia.

This appears to have been glossed over by Blanchard who was after all both a psychologist and a psychometrist. He doesn’t seem to have considered a physiological cause. Nevertheless, an underlying cause must be found, in order to understand this phenomenon. So what is that cause?

Narcissistic rage attacks, marks of the transvestite

Originally posted 2022-08-28 14:56:13.

Narcissistic rage, grooming and predation are the hallmarks of the Autogynephilic transvestite.

Narcissistic rage, grooming and predation are the hallmarks of the autogynephilic transvestite, especially the Western elderly form. They are characteristic and more: a badge. All autogynephilic transvestites will at some point indulge narcissistic rage attacks. In other words, they will all turn nasty in the end. Every single one.

Narcissistic rage attacks: mental condition

Other mental conditions may give rise to narcissistic rage attacks, but rarely are they as vicious, vituperative and mean as in the autogynephilic transvestite. Worse, narcissistic rage attacks provoke such men into plotting or even attempting to execute, strategems that will cause real harm to their victims. They will try to ruin careers and lives, marriages and even have children removed from the homes of their victims, on the basis of smears, lies and fantasy.

Sometimes, they may go further and attempt to persuade – or to pay – others to harm or even kill their victims. Fortunately, these most violent narcissistic rage attacks generally remain in the realm of fantasy, for autogynephilic transvestites are, typically, weak and ineffectual men; though sadly, not all. This is most marked once they have allowed their pseudo-feminine alter-ego, the autogynephilic artefact, to take control.

I’ll illustrate this with two cases, one well-known and the other not.

Autogynephilic males: a problem in the West but not in Asia

Originally posted 2023-09-08 15:36:51.

Autogynephilic males are men, or at least males, who suffer from a narcissistic, auto-erotic paraphilia that causes them to be obsessed with their appearance – but as women.

Autogynephilic males are invariably heterosexual, in fact we might say ‘hyper-heterosexual;’ they are so consumed with lust for the feminine body that they turn themselves into pseudo-women. I have discussed this in great detail on this website and on my YouTube Channel.

Bisexualism in males

Originally posted 2018-12-07 07:00:29.

Bisexualism in males has a chequered history. Beloved by its proponents, it lacks convincing support, at least in the West, where it is taken to mean, more or less, ‘equal attraction to both masculinity and femininity’. Actual studies are conflicting and the consensus must be that more depends on the way the question is put than reality. Look at the following pictures. Can it really be possible to be sexually attracted as much to the one as the other?

I don’t think so. Yet there is one form of bisexualism in males that is well-supported and documented. It is a function of Autogynephilia, a common fetish of straight men.

Homosexual Transsexual vs Autogynephilic males

Originally posted 2017-08-29 18:01:06.

By Guest author

Much has made about the differences between autogynephilic transvestites (AGP) and homosexual transsexuals (HSTS). However, most of this work remains largely clinical and as such, it fails to connect to the sympathies of the public. An exception to this of course being J. Michael Bailey’s The Man who would be Queen, an almost pop-science interpretation of the data on transsexualism. Even this, despite being a nice read, is written from the perspective of a researcher. What I am getting at, if not already obvious, is that not much is written from the perspective of Homosexual Transsexual women.

I am a Homosexual Transsexual woman, and was invited by Rod to write a piece or two based on my experiences. I don’t usually get to share these with other people, and I thought this a good opportunity. I won’t get into much about my childhood — after you’ve heard a couple of Homosexual Transsexual’s childhood remembrances, you’ve pretty much heard them all — but I will give some basics.
