The Tragedy Of Autogynephilia

Women And Children Aren’t The Only Victims Of Gender Ideology

There appears to be a trend of trans-identified males declaring they’ve transitioned specifically because of pornography. They say watching women in pornographic videos being ‘desirable’, made them wish for this desirability as well. 

Although women often wish to be viewed as desirable by men (as men wish to be viewed as desirable by women), the way women are treated in porn is not the desire women wish for.  Often in porn, women are degraded, called derogatory names, and treated as less than human. Very few people desire to be treated this way. 

And yet many trans people will openly state that a particular type of pornography called sissy or hypno porn led them to believe they are women.  Within this type of pornography, men are forced to appear as women.  For these men, being a woman is about humiliation and inferiority. The thought of being in this submissive role gives them sexual satisfaction. 

These people are said to be suffering from a sexual paraphilia called autogynephilia. Which is a term coined by sexologist Ray Blanchard. This term describes men who are sexually aroused by the thought of themselves as women. These men are often heterosexual and many have very misogynistic views about women.  Views like activist Andrea Long Chu who once wrote “getting f**ked makes you female because f**ked is what female is”.  Chu also claims porn made him trans and despite his disgusting comments about women he was recently awarded a Pulitzer Prize.

Women are told they must accept these types of men in their sports, locker rooms, bathrooms, prisons, and even as recipients of women’s only awards. One of the most shocking and disappointing aspects of this is the Democratic Party and far-left openly support this.

Just a few years ago during the #MeToo movement, men had their careers completely destroyed over often unprovable accusations of sexual harassment. Allegations of rape to strange looks, and even bad dates were enough for men to lose their jobs and have their reputations permanently tarnished. 

And just a few years later much of what these men were accused of doing is now openly celebrated. Several years ago, it would’ve been unthinkable for a man to expose his penis in a women’s locker room to unconsenting women and girls. Now, as long as that man identifies as anything other than a man this is celebrated.

As frustrating as it is to see all the progress women have made being eroded almost overnight there's another element to this.

We know that trans-identified people have a high rate of mental illness and suicidal ideations. To then admit you wish to be the opposite sex just to be desired and loved is tragic.  It also proves they don't really see themselves as women but wish to be what they believe women represent in male-dominated porn.  And rather than receive proper therapy and support, they’re encouraged to believe they are the opposite sex.  

These men, like many men, in our society, are lonely, lack friends, family, and meaningful relationships. They look at women and believe the lust men feel towards women is love, and if they could only be recipients of that lust, they too could be loved.

But they don’t understand porn doesn't show love. And even if it did, they can never be women, and will likely never be desired by men in the same way women are.

We spend a lot of time lamenting the harms of gender ideology on women, but there are male victims as well and it's time to recognize that.
