Like AGP is obviously a real thing and If you have interacted with more than 5 trannies you probably have already noticed it
Yet I dont think most trannies are Agp or Hsts because there are a lot that dont fit in either of these categories.So what do you think its going on?
I think he identified two general archetypes of a condition with a wide spectrum of expression. I think he also misidentified the chicken and egg problem, at least in regards to HSTS. HSTS are naturally femininely transsexual and also androphilic-- not feminine expression because of androphilia
I recall reading somewhere that when he measured sexual arousal, a chunk of his HSTS patients showed signs of AGP. He claimed it was just a measurement error, though that seems unlikely to me. It could be that those HSTS were actually “meta-attracted” AGP, or it could just be that the typology is flawed.
he was a pervert who gatekept trans healthcare for people he personally wanted to fuck.
AGP obviously exists, but as u said most of us don't have it. But it you go to reddit and hear vomit inducing shit like 'euphoria boner' its pretty undeniable
what this board calls AGP would pobably be properly called "transvestic fetishism", since AGP/HSTS is as much scientific as MBTI personality types (both are more archetypes rather than a proper scientific classidicarion), and transvestitic fetishism (icd10 F65.1) very well meets the definition of "being aroused by the idea of being the opposite gender, but only when it comes to sex", often described by anons.
What about the people who have an underdeveloped sex drive, have mild agp fantasies, and wanted to be a girl as a young child? I am one of these people and I have met a small but substantial number of people who are like this on this board. I even once heard someone claim that there were many people with MAIS that have agp fantasies despite having very little actual libido. I think I’m going to try to get tested for MAIS.

MBTI is unironically trillions of times more credible than Blanchard's typology. MBTI is actually fairly scientific despite all the "it's astrology for men!!!!!" reddit twerps
i find it funny that this board calls makes fun of mbti but praises blanchard despite sexology being an actual pseudoscience while mbti has basis on real psychology. the only right thing he did was categorizing agp as a real thing. but even then, most of his research and ideas on agp are just flat out wrong or just normal female sexuality. and he never explored the cause of agp and why it may develop, he just put the condition as a result of being a perv(which may be true on some cases). everything else he did was bullshit and he shouldnt be trusted on it imo.
I think Blanchard forced square peg results into a round peg hole by shaving off the corners. He has a theory in his mind and threw out any data that didn't confirm what he already thought. That's not how to do science and research. I don't really respect the theory as much more than a meme, but I do think that AGP and HSTS are real phenomena, just not a complete typology.
He's full of shit. Yes, a lot of tranners fetishize womanhood. No, this is not why they are women. He got it the wrong way around. Fetishization is the consequence of growing up in the closet all fucked up. More so when you also like girls. Brain studies show that both groups of trans women tend to have, on average, roughly the same unusual femininity-related neural markers. Which would make zero sense if they were somehow trans for different reasons.
he doesnt understand cause and effect or the scientific method. if any other scientist on blanchards field used his way of thinking theyd attribute coughs as the cause of a fever and not the other way around, just because it fits his thinking. the worst part is that hell never improve because he refuses to listen to anyone other than people who reafirm his beliefs
Yeah, definitely. A few years ago he admitted that he doesn't keep up with the research anymore. Despite of that he keeps confidently espousing his stupid ideas. It's at least comforting that he's largely retired now, and not nearly as influential.
Blanchard believed that biological males could not be bisexual.
This is the one false assumption that his entire theory was built off of.
>Like AGP is obviously a real thing and If you have interacted with more than 5 trannies you probably have already noticed it
I've interacted with them almost exclusively during my early years of transition and didn't know anyone that was AGP.
Tell me what AGP is, described it?
while its probably a good thing he retired, part of me kinda wishes to see what other weird pseudoscientific bullshit he can come up with now on the current political landscape.
like when people critisized him with "what about bi men?" and his response was to deny bisexuality was real. or when they said "what about ftms?" and he couldnt answer so he came up with autoandrophilia, which was just his agp theory but backwards and with zero research to back it up so he deleted it after facing backlash. now his current theory, "autohomoeritism", is based more on the research tumblr and tiktok terfs did than any research he did, he just incorporated the work of others on his "theory". same with his new "theory" that straight ftms are just self-hating lesbians. that isnt even a theory, thats just a personal opinion! there isnt any research backing this claim. at least with the agp/hsts stuff it was based upon some (flawed) research, but his ideas on ftms are so ridiculous it just highlights how much of a hack he is.
He is holding up the mirror to trannies, that's why they hate him.
Picrel is AGP by the way.
U mad tranny?
>meta-attracted
That is such a bullshit presumption to make it's such a self-defense position. Do you realize that means they're not really attracted to a big sexy male body? That's what that means, you're saying they're not attracted to a handsome masculine physique. That's ridiculous!
Well, most “meta-attracted” people actually are attracted to masculine bodies and can be aroused by them. It’s just that this apparently only happens because of a complicated series of mental twists and turns and fetishes built upon fetishes that ends up going back to AGP.
Anything he got right is almost accidentally so
The core of his data gathering was to say anything which disagreed with his theory is either faulty data or outright lies.
he is a failure because his tupology is incomplete and doesn't explain me, lifelong fem attracted no agp mtf transbian
ill keep posting this result in these threads, you can see the answers for yourself
i realize this is like an unprofessional version of a test for that but it still ranks me as male attracted hsts, even though every answer i gave shows i am not attracted to men
such is the case with such a fundamental flaw
>inb4 ew transbian
>grow up
He is definitely >95% right. He literally changed his academic field -- the only reason people still discuss the validity of his works is because of Reddit trenders' opinions bleeding out into the rest of the internet.
>I dont think most trannies are Agp or Hsts
Literally what?
99.9% of transwomen fit in those categories. What the fuck are you talking about?
>or it could just be that the typology is flawed
The typology IS. NOT. FLAWED. If he says it's a measurement error, then CHANCES ARE IT'S A MEASUREMENT ERROR.
>he was a pervert who gatekept trans healthcare for people he personally wanted to fuck.
Uhhhh no? Guessing you're AGP?
>AGP obviously exists, but as u said most of us don't have it.
Is this your first day on this board or what? The vast majority of users here are AGP.
>since AGP/HSTS is as much scientific as MBTI
Nope, the terms AGP and HSTS are scientifically valid, unlike MBTI.
Fuck off.
>I think
That's also not how science works. You prove shit, which you obviously can't, i.e. you're just guessing. Assuming you are AGP, for you to be this triggered by the typology in the first place?
Or maybe, just maybe, he has a far better understanding of the field than you do and you're the one throwing around random theories right now?
>Despite of that he keeps confidently espousing his stupid ideas
Because he IS the research. His ideas have gone unchanged because he CHANGED HIS ENTIRE FIELD.
Actually read Blanchard maybe?
Only read the first paragraph but pseudoscience actually has a very clear definition, and it's definitely not what Blanchard does. His works are just science.
Uhhhh no? That's like saying Newton was just lucky about guessong gravity. To some degree, depending on how you look at it, I guess that could be true? But it's also a stupid statment regardless.
