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.

1. Be mindful of your words. Do not promote bigotry, encourage violence, or use dehumanizing language.
2. Keep posts on-topic and in spirit with the circle. Flair posts appropriately. Use archive links for social media posts.
3. Content involving or by minors is not allowed.
4. When linking to Google docs, put a warning in title, so that users know prior to clicking.

LOL. I'm remembering now that he went on Nina Paley's podcast and got offended when she said that she 'might call him a tr*nny, but she'd never call him a TERF'– after he tried to say that he was called a TERF online. (8:07)
I think he's saying this because it upsets the trans community: He's trying to make himself "one of the good ones" to conservatives, and maybe even a TERF to TRAs, because it's affirming to him to be compared to the actual women who hold similar beliefs.
I think it's the same reason he made himself such a big figure in GamerGate: He liked being one of the 'victims', because the victims were female, and it played into his self-perception.
Wu, if you read this: No amount of saying the quiet part out loud will make you a feminist OR a woman.
Also the way they all want to be figures of authority or the faces of things that are woman things. Like trying to be a known talking head in this area rather than a woman. See all the leaders of woman groups associations services everything
