The views of the anti-"gender identity" movement around autogynephilia are odd:
- Some believe they have found a new type of "ROGD" boy, who are "brilliant people… intelligence… off the charts" and likely autistic.
- Many look back with fondness, even attraction, to men like David Bowie.
- Many revere apparently "true" transsexuals on Twitter, and embrace "gender non-conforming" men.
It's all autogynephilia, yet use the word "autogynephilia" and there is quite a different reaction, and and insistence that it could never represent the above.
This can be explained by the fact that the phenomenon of autogynephilia hasn't changed, but rather the anti-"gender identity" movement have come to use the word to represent a caricature they have created, which has largely nothing to do with what autogynephilia actually is.
Given that teenage boys are currently being told that what they feel makes them some sort of woman, those who are arguably also contributing to boys transitioning -- to being "mutilated" -- are those in the anti-"gender identity" movement who have taken Blanchard's term "autogynephilia" and made it no longer recognisable to the boys that stand to be helped by Blanchard's research.
As I read recently on Twitter:
"A big part of the problem is that autogynephilic teen males are given the ideology-based options of “you’re a predatory pervert and you’re a danger to women and children” or “you’re innately the opposite sex and you should transition”.

Which option do you think they’ll choose?"
Amen.
