this is crossover from the Sady/Jude Doyle thread &
did not want to derail, so figured this might be good place to discuss.
In review of "White Lotus" , Sady/Jude says that believing AGP exists is "wildly transphobic":
It was an obviously and wildly transphobic moment; the invocation of “autogynephilia,” the gobsmacked (and immediately memetic) Walton Goggins reactions to the idea of cross-dressing, the weird conflation of transness with yellowface or Dolezalian “trans-racialism.” But, because White Lotus creator Mike White is a Queer Showrunner, and because his output is prestige-y, and because gays and/or people with media careers enjoy live-tweeting his show on Sunday nights, everyone ignored it, until — a few days before the finale — Mike White went on gay conservative and “Trans Question” questioner Andrew Sullivan’s podcast to confirm that he believes “autogynephilia” is a real thing.
Why isn't it "real"?
WHAT are we discussing, in that case?
Lots of troons these days just shrug at being labeled AGP, it doesn't seem to wreck them or anything.
Sady never explains why "it" (whatever IT is!) does not exist, all while complaining that there has been "several weeks of online discourse wherein trans women were forced to debunk the existence of “autogynephilia,”
"Debunk" it how?
Sady/Jude is a pooner (trans man/bio female) and I find this vehement defense of trans women not having AGP to be very weird--it literally has nothing to do wth her at all.
Questions:
why is it "wildly transphobic' to recognize that autogynephiia exists, since they literally talk about it all the time?
why is Sady so invested in "debunking AGP" as a pooner?
this part makes no sense to me.
Armchair psychs, come forth.
