Welcome to the itsafetish circle! We document examples of fetishism (primarily autogynephilia) within the trans community and discuss implications from a feminist perspective! We typically use Blanchard's typology of transsexualism as our framework.

The commenter's last sentence really struck me, because I was married to an AGP TIM who only revealed his belief he was "a woman in a man's body" after 32 years of marriage. For the entirety of our marriage, that is, he'd been subject to thoughts and urges he only revealed to me after 32 years. I've since thought extensively about how his undisclosed thoughts and feelings, his "hid[ing] his trans thoughts" and his "want[ing] to be a woman before orgasm" affected our marriage and the conditioned the dynamics of our relationship and our sex life.
