I posted a few comments along those lines to clarify what I have written/argued. The only comments I will be posting from here on out are ones related to the crowdsourcing request I sent out.-juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703465310869693798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432122252544693588.post-69540443792909913082015-03-26T23:01:42.443-07:002015-03-26T23:01:42.443-07:00Please see my newly added postscript at the end of...Please see my newly added postscript at the end of the piece, specifically the line:<br /><br />"I believe that female/female embodiment fantasies exist ... and that they are not at all unusual in cisgender women, trans female/feminine spectrum people, and in some people who (aside from the fantasies) are fully male-identified."<br /><br />I have no problems whatsoever with people who experience female/feminine embodiment fantasies - rather, I merely object to Blanchard's disproven theories and categories (and misuse thereof).-juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703465310869693798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432122252544693588.post-69493230676677190042015-03-26T15:20:45.321-07:002015-03-26T15:20:45.321-07:00This is the kind of insulting comment that I almos...This is the kind of insulting comment that I almost never publish. But I am doing so now because you so thoroughly prove my point. READ MY ACTUAL WRITINGS before calling me a "hysterical dimwit" (and see newly added postscript to the piece that explains my actual views.) <br /><br />And can I just say, your "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" statement at the end is a great example of how people use the concept of "autogynephilia" to slut-shame other people. You invoked AG in order to invalidate me. I believe in sexual diversity, but I do not believe in using people's sexual histories or identities against them. -juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703465310869693798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432122252544693588.post-33257487653159898332015-03-26T11:48:06.381-07:002015-03-26T11:48:06.381-07:00oops, sorry, I replied to you comment in a separat...oops, sorry, I replied to you comment in a separate comment below.-juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703465310869693798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432122252544693588.post-4061776690061758262015-03-26T11:46:54.305-07:002015-03-26T11:46:54.305-07:00yes, I am very familiar with Moser's "Aut...yes, I am very familiar with Moser's "Autogynephilia in Women" article - I cite it in my own review (the first link above). Veale et al (also discussed in my review) also demonstrate that cisgender women experience female/feminine embodiment fantasies (aka, "autogynephilia").

Yes, some people will make fun of it or use the term disparagingly. So what? People disparage other people all the time about all sorts of unimportant things. That's what people do to each other. Especially on the internet. You look a hysterical dimwit for getting so bent out of shape over this particular incarnation of people shaming people.<br /><br />Methinks the lady doth protest too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432122252544693588.post-54566949552582640622015-03-16T15:56:12.536-07:002015-03-16T15:56:12.536-07:00Yes, it was bad.
