If there is no such condition as “male brain trapped in a female body”, what causes female-to-male transsexuality? FTM transsexuality is best understood as a multifactorial problem. Below are five theories that describe different contributing factors. 1. The Neurohormonal Hypothesis The neurohormonal hypothesis “posits that prenatal androgen exposure organizes parts of the brain (in terms of structure and function) as well as sex-differentiated psychological and behavioral characteristics, including gender identity and sexual orientation. The surge in sex hormones during adolescence is argued to influence parts of the brain to be further expressed in a relatively male- or female-typical manner, based on the earlier prenatal brain organization.” ( Skorska et al., 2022 ) Some evidence has been found in support of the neurohormonal hypothesis, but only in Early Onset (Homosexual) Transsexuals . This is because male-like “ cerebral sexual differentiation ” is the cause of homosexuality, n...

If you are a natal male with Gender Dysphoria, it is more likely than not that you are of the Autogynephilic etiology. For this reason, I recommend reading Phil Illy’s Autoheterosexual , as it provides an accurate, neutral, and digestible description of autogynephilia. That being said, the book is not without its flaws. One thing Phil has received criticism for is his description of autoandrophilia, which is disputed by sex researchers such as Michael Bailey. Below are some critiques of statements found in Autoheterosexual , as they pertain to autoandrophilia. Proponents of Autoandrophilia Theory run into problems when they attempt to force female-to-male transsexuality through the framework of male sexuality. Instead, FTM transsexuality must be understood through the framework of female sexuality. A Sex Difference in the Specificity of Sexual Arousal A key difference between male and female sexuality is the prevalence of bisexuality . Male sexuality is bimodally distributed , where it...

  An interesting series of case reports can be found on the Substack of betaphd: https://betachronicles.substack.com/p/something-akin-to-autogynephilia   The reports describe “auto-autogynephilia” in female-to-male transsexuals: the sexual fantasy of not just being male, but being a forced feminized male. Also referred to as feminization, detransition, or misgendering fantasies, it is an interesting variant of autoandrophilia (AAP).  As the cases reveal, there are distinct but closely related types of “auto-AGP”: Type I: A natal female who fantasies about being a natal male (penis and all) who is forcibly feminized  Type II: A natal female who fantasies about being an FTM (male appearance with female genitalia) who is forcibly feminized Type III: A natal female who transitions to male but fantasies about transforming into or reverting back to a female body Case #1 (Max), Case #2 (Bruno), and Case #4 (James) exemplify Type I. Even in cases where they use their vaginas...

The biggest medical scandal of our lifetime is the “gender transition” of children. It is easy to debunk claims that GnRH agonists (puberty blockers) are “reversible”. Here are counter-arguments to some other talking points presented by trans activists: The RAND Report is definitive evidence that children benefit from GnRH agonists and cross-sex hormone therapy. Utter nonsense. The report states clearly “ all outcomes were rated as having very low or low certainty of evidence .” GnRH agonists are used to treat “cisgender children”. Therefore, it is acceptable to prescribe them to “transgender children”. The approved uses (indications) of any drug can be found on its labeling information. When it comes to children, GnRH agonists such as Lupron are only approved (indicated) for the treatment of Central Precocious Puberty. They are not approved for treatment of children with Gender Dysphoria. Even for its approved uses, patients prescribed GnRH agonists as minors report irreversible side...

The most profound change that testosterone therapy has induced is heightened mental clarity. Ironically, it is this change that has caused me to question whether this is a good use of time, or if it is merely exhibitionism. The future of this blog is uncertain. While I have a moment, I would like to address a couple of different topics.  I have a good opinion of the self-aware autosexual community, and have previously spoken highly of Phil Illy’s Autoheterosexual . I have since realized that the book is flawed. While I still believe it is valuable for natal males who experience gender dysphoria, I understand several of the criticisms that have been raised, and plan to write a brief critique in the near future.   Phil’s harshest critics liken autosexuality to another dangerous internet cult, and criticize his comments on pedophilia. In my opinion, autogynephilia is somewhere between homosexuality and pedophilia with regards to how inherently dangerous it is. Similar commen...
