No meme answers, please.
What causes Autogynephilia in males, do you think?
Autism.
autism and/or lack of a proper maternal figure
the tism
I think for some, not being allowed to publicly express a feminine side of themselves forces them to explore it in private instead. we fetishize what we can't have
No, it's just the tism
simple as that
I know hsts that have autism too tho
Cartoons. Think Timantha and that one Kid's Next Door episode. You know what I'm talking about.
Cope
Childhood humiliation or emasculation trauma, the trauma then becomes a fetish and provides an escape. I guess sissy porn helps kick off this process in men who would otherwise have dealt with their trauma through alcohol or something
what's there to cope about? I feel like I just had a conversation with a Any Forums chat bot lol
nail on the head

OP here, I'm AGP and I am not autistic, I have not been traumatized in my youth, nor have I desired to express myself as a girl or consumed porn at a young age. Earliest memories about my sexuality I have is that I saw pretty women with nicely done up hair and wearing pretty dresses on TV when I was 11 and randomly had the idea that it would be embarrassing and cumbersome to be them, after which I began imagining what things would look like from their perspective and I got aroused by it.
Unironically the cartoon answer seems the most realistic so far
Probably the same thing that causes it in females.
>Childhood humiliation or emasculation trauma
I didn't have any of this though?
The intuitive understanding that being a girl is better than being a boy.
idk dude i've had it since I was a kid
Yes you are autist.
For me, I think it was due to being overly sheltered from any knowledge of sexual topics and isolated from forming close friendships, despite living in a world full of oversexualization. So the target of desire was thrust in front of everyone from a young age, but never knowing what to do with these feelings, the form of relief from them I imagined in my formative years was becoming the target of desire. This suck and became unchanging before puberty where it truly took off into true sexual fetishism. And now we fastforward to today where I coomed to a genderswap hentai manga.

I think there are at least two causes that are independent of each other but could be found in the same person.
1) Lacking a mental barrier people usually have that prevents one from finding one's own body arousing while also finding females attractive.
2) Inclination to become aroused by humiliation/degradation combined with thinking female = lesser than men on some level.
Obviously, some people categorized as HSTS can experience number 2. 15% of them don't see a reason to tell lies.
Return to R*ddit, simpletons.
Anime/hentai
gender dysphoria mixed with unhealthy concepts of femininity due to lack of good mother-figgure, pornography overexposure, internalised sexism etc. basicly the same as an hsys tranner, but the hsts had actual realistic concepts of femininty and expresses as such, while agp is the expression of an unhealthy and flawed idea of femininity. agp can easily be turned into hsts with exposure to healthy female role models, and seperation from unhealthy examples such as pornography and online sexism
>become aroused by humiliation/degradation combined with thinking female = lesser than men on some level.
how does this happen though?
Porn obsession
Interesting...
I'm not all-knowing, so I can't answer how people can have humiliation kinks.
Prenatal hormones
how much does it happen to gynephiles vs androphiles?
they look like trannies to me my brain is decomposing
what causes heterosexuality in males?
I don't have all the answers.
I just had those two ideas and one of them could explain why 15% of people categorized as androphiles on that bar graph have reported "a history of cross-gender fetishism" when they're not gynophilic.
In a blanchardian fashion your testimony is now void
>thinking female = lesser than men on some level.
Females are lesser than males. On most levels.
Didn't ask.
How was femaleness thrust in front of you?
