Banned From Reddit

I was banned from r/GayConservative for attempting to debunk Amala Ekpunobi's statements on sexual orientation. I was not just banned for making this attempt, but temporarily muted by the Moderators so I could not ask why I was banned. 

After seven days passed and the mute was lifted, I asked “Which rule did I break, and why was I banned?” Instead of providing an answer, the Moderators muted me again, this time for 28 days. 

Why I was banned for trying to explain the science of sexual orientation baffles me. Conservatives and liberals are both gripped by ideology.

Is "Nonbinary" all Nonsense?

  Is “Nonbinary” all Nonsense? After Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble , I discovered the origins of “nonbinary” identity: “Although Foucault's genealogical critique of foundationalism has guided this reading of Levi-Strauss, Freud, and the heterosexual matrix, an even more precise understanding is needed of how the juridical law of psychoanalysis, repression, produces and proliferates the genders it seeks to control. Feminist theorists have been drawn to the psychoanalytic account of sexual difference in part because the Oedipal and pre-Oedipal dynamics appear to offer a way to trace the primary construction of gender. Can the prohibition against incest that proscribes and sanctions hierarchial and binary gendered positions be reconceived as a productive power that inadvertently generates several cultural configurations of gender? Is the incest taboo subject to the critique of the repressive hypothesis that Foucault provides? What would a feminist deployment of that critique look li...

Commentary on "A Life History Approach to the Female Sexual Orientation Spectrum"

Image
This blogpost was written prior to having read Severi Luoto's more recent papers, where he updates his position on the female sexual orientation spectrum. Rather than reading this blogpost, I recommend reading my Commentary on Luoto & Rantala's (2022) "Female Bisexuality" . There isn't much value in reading this blogpost on its own, but I leave it here for reference. Recently, I reviewed Luoto et al.'s (2019) " A life history approach to the female sexual orientation spectrum: Evolution, development, causal mechanisms, and health ." The authors propose an evolutionary basis for the "various phenotypes in the female sexual orientation spectrum," arguing that female nonheterosexuality emerges as a result of hormonally-mediated Fast Life History strategy and other  ultimate -level explanations. Throughout the article, the authors emphasize the existence of different  phenotypes  of female nonheterosexuality, as described in the graphic sho...

"Navel Gays" is Wrong about Autoandrophilia

Image
Years ago, I took an interest in the subject of autosexuality. Autosexuality is a poorly understood topic that is vital to understanding the causes of Gender Dysphoria in natal males, where it manifests as “autogynephilia”. When it comes to Autogynephilia, the “Big Three” books to read are Michael Bailey’s The Man Who Would Be Queen , Anne Lawrence’s Men Trapped in Men’s Bodies , and Phil Ily’s Autoheterosexual.  In the years since publishing Autoheterosexual , the author Phil Ily has cultivated a community of self-aware autogynephiles, including the full range of transvestites, transsexuals, and detransitioners. I no longer have the same interest in autogynephilia that I once had, but I recommend seeking out this community if you are interested in learning more about it.  When it comes to natal females, two of the most important internet figures were/are the detransitioner Laura Reynolds and Aaron Terrell, a trans man who self-identifies as autoandrophilic. Aaron is co-ho...
