Unpacking Blanchard's Autogynephilia Theory & How it Relates to Gender Dysphoria?
Finally, a long-awaited video many of you have been asking me for.
Blanchard's Autogynephilia Theory is a bag of controversy with opponents such as Julia Serano, Charles Moser, Margaret Nichols and others on the one side and leading proponents such as Ray Blanchard, Anne Lawrence, and James Cantor.
Where do I fall within this camp?
Let's just say that for a clinician with 17 years of direct transgender experience, it did not take me long to see numerous flaws and issues with the theory, which should be accurately called a hypothesis.
In this video, I clearly outline Blanchard's main points, followed by the presentation of 15 main critique issues I and others have brought up.
Those who strongly feel the theory describes their experiences will benefit from watching the last segment of the video, where I explain why people feel resonant with it.
Most importantly, I make a clear distinction between Blanchard's Autogynephilia Theory AND Autogynephilia, which are two separate things deeply misunderstood.
