radically self loving

so you may have seen my new myspace picture in which I look like one hot fucking bitch. it might surprise you to know that I get off on how hot I look and how people react to how hot I look. At this point in my life, I get off on the fact that it turns other people on, or draws their attention, or really that I project something powerful that other ( Read more... )

No, there is nothing at all wrong with autogynephilia. Not like I have never rubbed one out to my own hot fucking bitch photos. But criminy, how naive these dudes are to think it applies only to trans women. I think MOST people are familiar with that sort of "Damn I look good, *I* would do me" sort of feeling. I think it is central to many, many people's sexualities. But I like your term better. I'm going to start using "radically self loving".

See, this is the kind of radical stuff WE SHOULD BRING TO YOUTUBE. AMIRIGHT?

Also, I want to see your hot fucking bitch picture but of course I AM NOT ON MYSPACE and CANNOT ALAS.

I don't think autogynephilia exists for transwomen any different than it does for ciswomen. I think early in our transitions alot of us fetishize or sexualize the feminine self because it is so forbidden, so other, so desired - and our male socialized histories at the time have only equipped us to equate any kind of desired femininity with sexual objectification ( ... )

I think that there are so few lesbian transwomen of color (or moreso VISIBLE lesbian transwomen of color) for the same reasons that cis-gender gays and lesbians of color are less visible.

Speaking of transwomen of color, time to stop being flaky about getting back to me about Saturday night (wink).

go autogynephilia go! lucyindeeskye July 11 2008, 14:27:49 UTC

radical self loving is a amazing, transformative concept for all women. until i met lauren, i had never looked at a photo of myself and actually liked how i looked in it. i always felt embarrassed or even disgusted with my image - esp with my chubby face and midsection. one day lauren started taking photos of me in a way that was fun, and i learned to pose in ways that make me like - nay, love! - how i look. those sexy photos are still rare, but i'm aching for the day in the not too distant future when i can whip out some of those fine ass photos of myself and literally get off while looking at them.

i think autogynephilia in trans women gets considered an embarrassing mental disorder by the medical establishment, b/c women aren't supposed to like how we look, let alone get off on it. it's so incredibly sexist and sad. i feel i gain a lot from being around people who practice radical self love. i have a lot of to learn - and gain - from them.
