i don't believe in trutrans in the classical sense of the word (where its a discrete condition of being "really trans" and etiologically distinct from "fake trans"), but i do believe that its people who conform to what is typically considered trutrans who are likely to benefit

honestly the fact that my experience with AGP resembles how @elegationvain describes AAP is imo evidence for it being real. my transition was motivated primarily by what i felt was an identity disorder. i truly always imagined myself as a woman, and felt disgust for being male.
@elegationvain i don't relate to blanchard's core autogynephilia scale at all, but i consider myself to be AGP. i'm most aroused by being called pretty, beautiful, princess, baby girl by a partner. not by mentally envisioning the visual image of myself with disjointed female body parts.
@elegationvain i think male sexologists failed to recognize erotic target location errors when they weren't accompanied by masculine hypersexuality, overt eroticism, & object/partialist fetishisms.
i can't access sci hub rn (probably bc of the internet archive bullshit), but...
why c1s women don't have AGP or why "everyone sees themself as their gender identity during sex" is an invalid argument
charles moser is a BDSM activist who wishes to remove all paraphilic disorders from the DSM claiming they are "regressive" and "stigmatizing".
interpreting autogynephilia as an expression of gender identity is a willful misinterpretation of how an erotic target location error functions & blurring of superficially similar things
autosexuality as it occurs in AGP trans people is a trait that is absent in normal men and normal women
