When it Comes to Gender Dysphoria in Males, We Have to Talk About Autogynephilia

There’s a raging debate far down the gender rabbit hole about what’s going on with the boys. Some of the most invested and knowledgeable people in the gender world, despite agreeing that pediatric gender medicine is dangerous, vehemently disagree about how to understand boys who question their gender identity. Some say there’s an entirely new category of ROGD boys whose motivations for transition are similar to the girls: mostly via peer influence or social contagion. And others say that the so-called ROGD boys today fit easily into the older classifications: they are either homosexual or autogynephilic. If you’re already confused, don’t worry. Today we’re going to clarify terms and I’ll help you understand the convoluted and challenging topic of male gender dysphoria, specifically the type we may be seeing in straight boys.

While this is very true, parent/child relationship is usually irrelevant to sexual development (unless we're talking direct sexual abuse in which case they probably have far bigger issues than gender).

6:40-7 min --- I'm glad you acknowledged reasonable critiques of the details of traditional Blanchard typology, notably the idea that AGP bisexuality is necessarily all "psuedo." Old school sexologists are frustratingly reluctant to acknowledge male bisexuality as a real phenomenon. I also appreciate your skepticism of the idea that only female sexuality is malleable. I'd just assume sexuality can be malleable, but isn't necessarily, and its malleability varies between individuals regardless of sex. I'm a female and I don't think my sexuality has been malleable at all. Overall a great video!

Speaking as somebody who has had gender dysphoria, and by some accounts would be classed as AGP. I am 6 months on standard MTF HRT. How do you account for myself (and many others), whose libido has completely disappeared or changed. However feel no regrets over transitioning, love the changes, and plan to continue the path of transition. I’m at a point where I could stop hormones and go back. Currently there’s absolutely zero percent sexual motivation for wanting to continue transitioning. I feel very strongly that within a testosterone dominant sexuality, AGP-like feelings are inevitable. Gender dysphoria being a completely different issue.
@elegationvain
@elegationvain 15 дней назад
This is why so many misunderstand AGP as a 'fetish', when it actually operates more like an orientation. Even in the absence of any sexual appeal, there is still the need to BE what you love. I think this is how most females experience AAP (because our sexual drives are usually lower than male's) and how AGPs post HRT experience it (because again, lower libido than is natural for males). A man still loves his wife, feels a strong emotional attachment to her, even after the intense erotic appeal dissipates. This applies to AGP as well.

@@elegationvain whatever the case, AGP or not. I feel so much less conflict and anxiety in my life. It’s brought me more connection to others. So in my view, AGP should be removed as a serious term. It carries so much stigma, due to the suggestion that transitioning is ONLY linked to ones sexual desire. I think this has been debunked so many times. Using the terms seems to primarily serve as a tool to deliberately delegitimize certain people’s experience.

I’m curious. You say transition has basically obliterated your libido. Why would you want that to happen? What about your libido is bad? Also curious what you were told about detransition potential. Are you saying you could go back to what you were pre-HRT? To my understanding, some of the changes are permanent as far as fertility, urologic and sexual function. I’m old enough to remember when delestrogen and orchiectomy was used to treat prostate cancer. Hard to isolate which was the result of the HRT vs the cancer itself, but the genitalia was essentially non-functional (shrunken, incontinent). I question whether younger prescribers are even aware of what these hormones do in real life. Is any of this being discussed at appointments? Are you being told the changes are reversible, either completely or partially?
@Sage_613
@Sage_613 15 дней назад
@@VioletFemme810 I should clarify. My male spontaneous-style of arousal has changed to a responsive style which is more commonly cis-female style. This change has actually resulted in more connection with my spouse. I feel more in tune with my body. I feel more connected to my partner. With testosterone my goal was just to get off. I’m relatively early in my transition, so the effects are still mostly reversible. We had a thorough discussion at the appointments, gave me resources. She also knew I’ve been thoroughly researching the effects (good and bad). No worries about fertility. She knew that I’ve had the snip already and have had all the kids I want.

See for me (PO-TS) the hormones had no effect on my libido intensity it remained the same, I had other shifts though, sexuality did, though most was my head and emotions, just felt like a windscreen clearing on a cold day, the weirdest thing was after surgery I just felt normal for the first time ever (kinda odd considering) and since then it's gone, it worked. To answer the question about are they being told, YES! FML anyone saying they aren't is a liar most of the time spent during the process is them telling you not to and that it's got all these different risks and permanent and other non permanent stuff, I have a filing cabinet full of correspondence and most of it is about side effects and risks. In the UK at least they are very anti surgery and treatment you really do need to hoop jump to get there. That's why anyone claiming to have been forced to by the NHS is laughable.

This sounds crazy. But i believe i have exprienced both AGP and HSTS. I'm bisexual and homophobic altough not as homophobic as i used to be. My hetro side is AGP and my Homo side is HSTS. Maybe my HSTS developed out of my homophobia. I also have a phobia of sounding and looking feminine which developed in childhood due to strict homophobic parents. I was a sweet sensitive shy boy which made it hard to ask girls out when i was a young teen so i turned to my sisters and mothers clothes for sexual and emotional release and comfort. Then as an adult the shame and secrets led to me becoming even more shy and scared in a womans company and led me down a path of believing i was a transsexual and if i transition it would fix me. I didn't go trough with it and fell in love with a woman who i opened up to and she helped me feel like a normal man

Sorry, but you are reading Blanchard all wrong. HSTS generally express a sense of being the opposite sex or wanting to be the opposite sex early, before puberty. They are not "fine with their male bodies," and they don't transition for social acceptance. Social acceptance is really hard for any trans person. Being a gay male is much easier, you can be closeted and tell no one, or come out and remain exactly as you are, just date differently. Transition is incredibly difficult, and many people never achieve passability and social acceptance. HSTS want to be women, in the holistic sense, not in a sexual sense. They don't want to be women as a matter of convenience. It's not convenient. HSTS are basically male babies that develop feminine hormonal traits,. and transition to better create a feminine life. On the other hand, Autogynephiles always develop their transgender drives after puberty. There is always a strong sexual element to their feminine presentation. Many don't want to have male partners, or be the receptive sexual partner. I believe most "trans lesbians" are AGP. Some AGP's do derive pleasure from filling the receptive role, of course. Generally, AGP's can enunciate the advantages they want from transition, while HSTS find that very hard. The origin of an HSTS' feminine drives come from hormones, which present as feelings, not logic or consideration. The origin of an AGP's drives come from their desire for sexual gratification. I really don't think you understood Blanchard's findings. This has been discussed for decades.

This is an important point, thanks for adding it in. Just like with all categories, individuals within it can express symptoms in different ways. When I said "present" I was talking about presenting to clinics for medical interventions. In many many many other places, I've expanded on the HSTS type of dysphoric male as having been highly gnc from a young age and that they certainly CAN feel dysphoric about their bodies, but in this regards, I think that dysphoria often comes from internalized homophobia, as mentioned in the video

Thank you for initiating this kind of conversation. I am a HSTS and In trying to make friends with other trans women, I have experienced first hand the differences in the two types. Aside from taking hormones and wearing different clothes, we’re almost nothing alike. The AGP I have tried to be friends with were always a bit more aggressive, if I’m being completely honest. I don’t agree with trans women wanting to force their way into womens spaces, I see those spaces as sacred and it is a privilege when I am invited into them. Most of these modern day activists are doing more harm than good in my opinion, and I get the backlash for it. Conversations like these are so important, so thank you!

Hi Sasha, thank you so much for the work that you do. I appreciate so much, how compassionate you are, and your empathy. You are probably a genuine "empath" if that is a real thing. I wish you were my counselor or therapist! Or simply a friend to talk with. I'll definitely listen to this one again. I've been out as MTF trans for a few years now, on HRT for just over 3 years. I experienced childhood SA, and SA as a young adult. I consider myself genuinely bisexual. I was recently diagnosed with low-level autism (aka level 1, or low needs). I've struggled with mental health throughout my life. I'm kind of a basket case, I guess. I'm NOT an activist of any kind. I am mostly introverted and maintain a low profile, and try hard to avoid conflict or making people uncomfortable. I think there are so many routes to trans-identification; the simplified categories of HSTS, AGP and ROGD are just that, simplified. I think there is some use to the categories, in terms of providing some scaffolding to cling to, but the better approach is like you describe, in that each person should be seen as an individual, whose route to trans-identification may be unique to them, and they deserve compassion, not stigmatization. I hope I am paraphrasing you correctly. Thank you so much 💜

This.

I actually have compassion for even PDF files as long as they don't act on it. Dealing with AGP should be a private matter and for the specialists to deal with.

Being AGP is a giant pain in the ass. Talking about being AGP may be an even bigger one. Can you imagine going on a date with a woman and over time falling in love with her, only to have to explain to her eventually that your sexuality is strange and being discussed on RU-vid by a ton of ppl who don't agree. My AGP manifests like this... I am attracted to women, but also to being feminized or feminine. Im also drawn towards feminine men and transwoman (which for some of you out there might be the same thing, others perhaps outraged at this... Whatever). I have found a way to live with it and accept it. Do I love it? No. And I don't believe it's necessary to do so. Am I grateful for it? No. But I do accept it and I will be telling my next partner about it bc lying by ommission will just hurt everyone down the road. There is more to life than sexuality. A lot more.

As a fellow mental health professional specializing in the area of gender dysphoria, I have found the AGP theory of gender dysphoria not especially compelling due to insufficient evidence and lacking in explanatory power compared to alternative explanations. While the presence of cross-sexual fantasies among gender dysphoric assigned male at birth individuals seems to be relatively common, I don't agree that it is a cause gender dysphoria; rather, I think that gender dysphoria is the root cause of cross-sexual fantasies. While this may seem like a bit of a chicken or the egg argument, the presence of gender dysphoric feelings that can be identified in alleged AGP individuals prior to the start of puberty or any erotic behavior seems to point to that gender dysphoria is what is causing the sexual fantasy and not the other way around. Proponents of the AGP theory argue that it is a sexual orientation and that people "fall in love" with the idea of oneself as a woman, but I have not seen any evidence provided by the AGP researchers demonstrating this claim. Also, if you were to claim that AGP is a sexual orientation (which is typically understood as an immutable characteristic present since birth), then how is that any better at explaining the mental health symptoms of gender dysphoria than claiming incongruence of gender identity is at the root of the symptoms? Considering that much of people's experiences of gender dysphoria are not related to sexual arousal in any way, it seems to me that the AGP theory lacks explanatory power when compared with the alternative theory of gender identity incongruence. What's more, what we understand about kink is that it often manifests as a way of trying to meet some unmet need, so in the case of cross-sex fantasy, that would be the need to align one's gender; once that need is met (i.e. people socially or medically transition), fantasies will often cease because that need is being met. Personally, I find that explanation much more aligned with the experiences of my clients and much of the transgender community than the "falls in love with oneself as a woman" argument and would need to see strong evidence to the contrary to change me mind on this issue. I think the AGP theory makes more sense when you think of it not as a pathology that causes gender dysphoria but rather an explanation that arises out of the anxiety of individuals who are uncomfortable with the idea of a society where people are changing their genders, and I think the AGP theory of gender dysphoria does more to quell those anxieties than has any actual clinical utility for those of use who work with transgender individuals. While I'm sure you disagree with everything that I've asserted here, feel free to send me peer reviewed research supporting your claims.

Before i even comment, id like to note im not talking of all transwomen, and that even with AGP that the gender is a spectrum can still be valid and a subjective experience thar deserves digntiy and respect. What of people who claim they are the people with AGP? Is society going to either use a no-true Scotsman fallacy and claim they were never trans or are trans in denial? What power of the mind to cope and adapt to their decisions with a sense of peace within autonomy and a sunk cost fallacy? There's already a somewhat loosely similar example to what AGP to be In "No More Mr. Nice Guy," Robert A. Glover discusses how boys can develop toxic shame, a key aspect of Nice Guy Syndrome. Toxic shame typically begins in early childhood through experiences where a boy's natural behaviors or emotions are met with disapproval or criticism from parents, caregivers, teachers, or peers. This conditioning teaches boys to suppress their needs, desires, and emotions to avoid rejection or punishment, fostering beliefs of inadequacy and unworthiness. Often that they are different to other men, and that men are bad. And they will be different to their father. Over time, this internalized shame leads to a fear of vulnerability and a strong drive for perfectionism, where boys believe they must be flawlessly nice or accommodating to earn love and acceptance. This cycle perpetuates self-criticism, self-blame, and difficulties in asserting boundaries or expressing authentic needs in relationships, reinforcing the need for healing and self-acceptance as advocated in Glover's approach. What happens if they internalize men are bad so much a fantasy on gender swapping becomes an obsession that grows into depression and anxiety (and wrongly internalising masculinity is bad observing through childhood women's advocacy and social commentary mothers in pain from being mistreated by her partners;not saying the message is meant to be that but that it creates internalised misandry for boys without role models or social skills) and the need to escape their reality creates a space to free themselves?

Thank you for common sense, this should be quite obvious I think. AGP is not based on any peer-reviewed evidences, but hypothesis that is rooted in sexist bias and ignorance. All of these things that people experience, including AGP are actual messages of the body, including porn addictions, they are revealing a message that something is being repressed and needs to be looked at. What this lady does seems like pushing a genocidal propaganda of Heritage Foundation that being trans is wrong and needs to be stopped. Sex is a diversity, ideological definitions fo sex have always been a narrative stemming from the patriarchal colonization of mother nature and its natural diversity.

I've helped him move a couple of times and took care of some car repairs and things like rides from the train station. Unfortunately, the whole gender thing is kinda off limits for conversation, which has only left me curious. From what I've gathered from podcasts and other sources, I'm getting a sense that there's a somewhat newer version of autogynephilia popping up that's stemming from exposure to that type of porn. I'm not sure if there's a subcategory or name for that yet.

I am not convinced by what is presented here. No real solution is offered to help address the feelings of gender incongruence. One of the lessons that I have learned through transitioning is that my experience goes far beyond sexuality and sexual fantasy. I thought for most of my life that what I had was a sexual kink or fetish. I did at times become aroused by dressing feminine. I later learned that i actually did have a fetish for certain clothing items and that they weren't strictly feminine. I considered myself a crossdresser for many years. I tried to become friends with other crossdressers as I really had a desire to be in a space where I could express my femininity without being judged for it. This turned out to be impossible. Every time I would meet with another crossdresser they seemed much less interested in just spending time with me as a girl and were far more interested in getting under my skirt or me under theirs. It was not what I wanted. I hoped to make it work and to find a friend, but I just couldn't. I had also noticed that my desire to present femme and wear women's clothing became largely disconnected from sexual arousal. I just felt like I wanted to be seen as a woman. These thoughts and feelings developed within the context of the internet for sure, especially later in my life. But I have consciously pushed back on the idea that I am transgender since the mid 1980's. It is something that I just couldn't ignore anymore. The internet helped me see what is possible and that I do have options for dealing with my feelings. Suppressing them didn't work and accepting them as a kink or fetish or variation of autogynephilia didn't work either. The only thing that I have found that relaxes my thoughts and anxiety around my feelings of gender incongruence has been transitioning. It feels so freeing. Being on HRT has severely diminished my libido and sexual arousal. If I didn't get those back I would be perfectly happy as long as I can be myself. I have learned that this is so much more than just about sex. I love the emotional changes resulting in being on estrogen. I had no emotion before. I love that ny body is slowly becoming more feminine. I only wish that the damage from decades of testosterone could be reversed. The transgender experience in my view is far beyond sex.

I am MtoF trans. After reading Britneygurl's comment, I must say my experience sounds quite similar to hers. I too went through a period of cross dressing in the nineties, but soon realized my feelings were not typical of most cross dresser. I realized it is not about clothes or sex. It is about whom you want to be and feel you are. I very well might have appeared as AGP when I first did something about my feelings. But, after exploration and much self reflection, including years of therapy, I realized it was more about whom I really am. And yes, I waited many years to come out because I did not want to jeopardize my relationships and career. The world is very different now then twenty-five years ago. We know so much more about how to successfully transition. Being trans, while still very difficult, today is so much more acknowledged. While we need to be cautious about what we see on the Internet, social media platforms like RU-vid are valuable sources of information for people questioning their gender identity. Years ago we only had scattered books and occasionally met a person who back then was labelled transsexual. It was even hard to find a therapist who understood the complexities of being trans. I had one think I was gay. The truth is that while after coming out my preference for men became clearer for me, I have never felt comfortable around gay men and have no sexual attraction toward other transgender people. Classifying myself as AGP just seems so simplistic and off base. I find many people, including therapists, use AGP as a label for people with gender identity issues. They use it as evidence that being MtoF trans is really just some kind of fetish that casts doubt on whether a person born male can feel and live quite similar to a cis woman. Now after twenty months having started my transition, I can for the first time in my life say I am a happy person.

They were all over TV being paraded before a shocked audience, essentially cast as the freaks among us. It was really drilled into me that doing what they do is bad behaviour, you will be mocked and laughed at for doing it and you will be cast out of society. I was still so curious about them, envious of what they were able to do. I don't remember thinking about it in a sexual manner either. I thought at one point that I was gay. I tried it out. No,, I was indeed attracted to women. Sexual preference is independent of gender identity. In the end it turns out that I am gay lol, just not the way that she imagined.

Binary model was artifically cr4eated to make it easier for doctors, but it was also supported from a standpoint of the Abrahamic religion.

I think Phil Illy notes it best. Its an orientation. Its not just the sexual aspect, but the romantic aspect. Its an inversion of attaction to yourself as a woman. And like all orientations, if you just view the sexual aspect, you're still incredibly lonely and frustrated in the romantic department. Like all relationships, sexuality is the drive towards it. But as you become familiar and commit to it, it becomes like a long term girl friend that you feel pleasant being around, and terrible when she's absent.

Sasha, I wish what you said towards the end of your video about the complexities of individual identities you would have mentioned at the beginning of your video. Frankly, the first seventeen minutes of your video sounds like a justification of the AGP perspective and how it is the predominate explanation for MtoF transgenderism. This is especially unfortunate because I expect the majority of your viewers did not get past the fifteen minute mark. Towards the end of your video, you acknowledge how complex gender identity really is. As an MtoF trans person, I completely agree. You even acknowledge that your experience is as someone assigned female at birth who is comfortable with being a woman. At the risk of sounding self-righteous, I will say unless you are trans, which is likely to include gender dysphoria. the trans experience will always seem somewhat a mystery. Also, it seems at times you confuse gender identity and sexuality. My own opinion is there are some interesting linkages between these two concepts. The general understanding among professionals is they are separate. Yes, always ground in the truth. The truth is most often not monolithic. Also, it is so important to remain open minded. I think when you do, your will find that gender identity is so much more complex and interesting than the AGP paradigm allows.

Stop bringing in AGP, first it was autism, and now AGP. Biological sex has never been binary, it was always a huge diversity. Definitions of sex have been ideological, in ancient times man and woman was determined energetically, and not even biologically, that's how much we have fallen as a humanity since then, because without brain and the entire body that biologiocal sex would not exist.

Many transsexual females ( mtf) that I know had feelings about being incongruent to their natal sex prior to being “sexualized”. ..or having a sexual identity ( ages 5-8).

As an adult, transitioning was far easier/ healthier than antidepressants and years of questionable therapy. Sometimes transitioning is the best course of treatment.

I am curious as to what this video is trying to accomplish- are you trying to educate us about autogynephilia? Or, are you saying that rogd in a “straight” male is masquerading as agp? I have a personal interest, as my teenage son has been caught in what many parents refer to as the gender cult. From the professionals we have consulted with, it seems our son’s issues stem from social anxiety. I have a lot of respect for your work and have followed you closely through our journey. You have helped me tremendously. But this conversation about boys and gender is completely missing the mark in my opinion. One data point to support what I’m saying- many proponents of gender affirming care claim that the increased numbers we are seeing is from more social acceptance, and this is one of the points Aaron Terrell seems to make around agp. However, in Sweden, there had been widespread acceptance of transgender people for many years preceding the explosion of cases. It simply doesn’t add up that agp is suddenly more prevalent, and explains the increase in boys presenting with gender dysphoria. I must say that I take exception to Aaron Terrell making any statements about this topic, since he is simply not professionally qualified. Having a personal experience of being transgender does not qualify him with being able to speak on such a complicated topic. What is even more surprising to me is that you are choosing to engage in this conversation with him. I have read that there is a 5 year study underway headed by Michael Bailey, Ken Zucker, and Lisa Littman, to better understand rogd. Solid research on this topic is desperately needed.

And I think the online porn access amplified the prevalence, the (white-)men bashing seriously also, a little bit.

Aaron Terrell is probably the best she can hope for. The Critical Social Justice cult is predicated on the idea that rational discussion is a tool of the oppressors. Those of us not in the cult will understand that this claim is a very useful device for avoiding exposure of the lack of any internal logic or consistency to their "world view". It is extremely difficult to engage with the victims. They are conditioned to regard reinterpretation of their outlook as a corruption, a brain washing attempt. Fragility is encouraged, so Sasha has done very well to maintain a discourse of any kind. The approach of Sasha and Stella and Benjamin Boyce has rankled with many women furious at what has happened to traditional accommodations that were once afforded women. They never were "rights" they were always a consequence of physical difference and social roles of men and women. You sound like to are aware of Stella's clash with Kellie Jay Keen over Phil Illy's appearance in a blue dress at the Genspect conference? As therapists Sasha and Stella are professionally bound to maintain open communication and to develop insight into what an AGP perceives, whereas Kellie Jay is under no obligation and won't have a bar of any communication that for one minute gives the benefit of the doubt to the AGP viewpoint.

We used to be mutuals on Twitter and had many fun interactions (before it got too much for me). I think her theories are dead wrong and I am her political opponent because I support access to gender medicine. See DR Z PHD and ContraPoints for excellent discussions on why Blanchard's conjecture has been discredited. AGP is a bad theory because it does not describe, for most of us, what it feels like to be trans. Gender identity is a complete and self-consistent description of what it feels like to be trans. If that means that I am in a "cult", then sign me up! ❤🏳‍⚧

"Autogynephillia" doesn't exist. It is quackery. And I am not "male". I have never felt remotely like a boy. Never wanted male puberty. And frankly? Didn't really get it. Masculinized so little at puberty that I passed for a woman, even in drab men's clothes. Even when I spoke. Nobody who didn't know me thought I was a woman. I grew up male failing. I grew up dealing with sexual harassment from creepy men, like any other girl. When I cut my hair short? I was seen as a teen boy, well into my 30's. Getting talked down to, and harassed by grown men in public about my hair and clothes. Treated like a kid. I'm female whether you like it or not. I went from being miserable, never fitting in, never wanting to fit in with men, to living as the woman I always knew I was. Trans people exist. Nonbinary people exist. And you shouldn't talk about things you do not remotely understand. I will be flagging this video for misinformation. Have a nice day 😉

AGP is real and its the reason for my transition and i still happily identify as male, despite living my life like a woman now. You aren't obligated to identify with the typology but some of us do, so please stop speaking for others experiences. Thanks.

It's in the DSM-5 and there have been MRI studies.
