Since listening to Gender: A Wider Lens Episode 193, I have been thinking about guest Dr Az Hakeem’s advice to gender critical feminists that we sharpen up our critique by not saying autogynephilia or AGP as shorthand for “transvestic fetishism” and “fetishistic transvestism.”
Just because the phenomenon has been formally depathologized recently doesn’t mean transvestic fetishism does not exist in society and culture.
I think it teases it out from sexual paraphilia, sissification, feminization, and the bodily focus of AGP and opens context for policy discussion of women’s sex-based rights vs transvestic fetishistic claims of “gender identity.”
Transvestism is a useful concept for speaking about the everyday practice of the gendered spectrum of all kinds of fashion, masking, dressing, and appearing. A New Transvestism!?
I’m just spitballing.
I am curious to hear what the circle thinks.
That reminds me of that time a TIM kept hitting on me while negging me, when i was outside smoking even when i told him, look my boyfriend is right there DJing. Then he got into the "oh i will treat you better blah blah" bs. I ignored him and went to sit right infront of the DJ booth. Ended up having to duck cause TIM was throwing chairs all over the place out of anger for being rejected by me.
The men jumped him and the police took him away. It honestly convinced me a lot of incels became trans. The way he talked to me, like it was not normal at all.
I hope the sister was not hurt too badly. That is an awful violent way to peak.
Please don't try to coin or use new potential slurs like "timmy." We take slurs seriously. Please edit your post to remove it or it will be removed.
I don't see how thats a slur but changed it.
Thank you!
No problem I will keep it in mind in the future.
Thank you for your modding work, I may not always agree but i appreciate the dedication and work you put into ovarit.
