The podcast does not have to be listened to in full or in any order, but we do strongly recommend listening to 1, then 2, then jumping to any others that strike your fancy.

  • Episode 12 - Anne Onymous ROGD Boy

    Annie is a 21 year old transwoman who most gender critics would classify as a ROGD Boy, that is unless they understood AGP as well as Annie does.

    Follow Annie on Substack. Here are a couple most relevant to today's conversation:

  • Episode 11 - Self-Identified Self-Straight Part 2

    We had Ashley back to wander deeper into the wild world of fandom and ‘shipping’ (AKA yaoi) and how they relate to FtM culture and transition. We try to tease apart what is autoandrophilia (AKA autohomoerotica) & what is social contagion (ROGD). Also, no lag this time so a much smoother conversation.

    If you didn’t listen to part one, Ashley is an autoandrophilic woman from Australia who has a lot of interesting insights on the topic of autoheterosexuality and metasexuality.

  • Episode 10 - Self-Identified Self-Straight - Part 1

    Ashley is an autoandrophilic woman from Australia who has a lot of interesting insights on the topic of autoheterosexuality and metasexuality. We had so much to cover and not enough time, so Ashley will be back next week to continue where this conversation left off.

  • Episode 8 - Metaepisodality

    This conversation is a more in depth response to some criticisms of our theory raised by Laura Reynolds on last week's episode. We strongly suggest watching that first if you haven't yet.

That said, this particular episode makes more sense if you listen to the conversation we are talking about, which is episode 7.

  • Episode 7 - Laura Reynolds on Why We're Sort of Wrong

    We mixed it up this week and brought a guest on. It’s none other than Laura Reynolds.

    The key to understanding the hypothesis put forward in this podcast, which is that autosexuality often causes homosexuality, lies in episodes 1 and 2. The podcast does not have to be listened to in full or in any order, but we do strongly recommend listening to 1, then 2, then jumping to any others that strike your fancy.

    Our audience is probably already familiar with Laura and her story of AAP, transition, and detransition. If you aren’t, follow the links below to hear her story in detail. So rather than hashing out her autobiography again, we instead had Laura on to tell us what she thinks we’re wrong about.

    We were excited to have this conversation because Laura not only has a personal experience with AAP and a firm understanding of the sexology of gender dysphoria, but she was also in the ‘queer community’ in the late 90s and early 00s, which was when the butch to FtM floodgates had just begun to open.

    We unfortunately didn’t have time to dig into each of Laura’s criticisms and we feel many warrant more discussion, so we plan to do a follow up episode to dig in in more detail. Tune in next week for that. Laura on Transparency:

  • Episode 6 - Internalized Homophobes

    How much of a role does internalized homophobia play in the decision to transition?
