And a few years later we got Call Me By Your Name, a story where a young jewish boy is seduced by a bisexual older man who then leaves the boy, one of its final scenes being the wise father telling the boy that he had a similar experience in his youth and not to be jaded by the events. You might be surprised to learn that this movie did very well in lefist circles and the Oscars.
Thanks for sharing. I've never had gender dysphoria so I try to educate myself on the plight these people have, particularly since they want to encroach into other's rights and have access to educating children. Reading about autogynephelia (AGP) was very eye opening, it explained a lot of the fetishization and helped me understand why some people dressed and acted in a way that wasn't particularly female, but more of the blackface version of female that used to be comedic or self-empowering with the crossdressing community. There's definitely a difference between identifying as a woman in a man's body and feeling sexual gratification by being a little girl or wearing girl clothes both in and out of the bedroom. The trans community hates talking about AGP because there's likely a large number of people in their community that can be written off as having AGP, and there seems to be a correlation between AGP and being either too sexualized as a child or outright sexually abused.
Glad to hear you're in a good place.
Hey, that's me
