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.

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
