    The whole “autogynephilia” thing has always kind of struck me as similar to the “you gotta stay constantly vigilant because the devil is constantly trying to tempt men into having gay sex” thing. Like, yeah, if you conceptualize it as pathological, you’re gonna feel like there’s something wrong with you. But it only feels weird when you’re feeling it from the “wrong side,” so to speak.

    (later edit: it turns out maybe I don’t actually know what autogynephilia is, so I might be confused…)

    I think this blog got posted to sneerclub before though and yeah it’s kinda too sad to make fun of. This post is a couple years old now but it looks like they’re still blogging in this vein… I hope eventually they’re able to come to terms with their true feelings.

      As someone who once was there, yepppppppppppppp. Whether in the “I’m not strong/valid enough” strain or the “I’m not like one of them” strain it’s never just the kink they think it is
