Excellent piece. Thankyou. Keep writing!

Re autogynephilia (AGP) in addition to clinicians sacrificing LGB kids through wilful ignorance, another issue is coming into view…boys with AGP should be getting help to manage their sexual orientation (but most clinicians enthusiastically transing teenagers would not know about it.) On the one hand compassion is needed so AGP can come into the sunlight - especially important for boys who, in this networked surge for trans identification, might launch into body modification they later regret. On the other hand the sexist stereotypes and frankly awful behaviours of some (not all !!) men with AGP need to be understood and described. This thread unpacks this, with quotes cited by Anne Lawrence:

Another great piece. Thanks for your dedication to this important topic. I know, based on your previous comments, it is often an emotional burden. I hope to balance that with affirmation you are helping my family, and I’m sure many others.
