>>/53/ idk how he exactly defines trauma but theres definitely an inherent shame in being compared to something feminine dont think he denies agp feeling arousal from the thought of imagining themselves as women except theres always a sense of underlying maleness and emasculation even when it's not depicted as such he agrees with blanchard on the hsts agp classification but he renames agp to mef because of masochistic emasculation being a cause rather than ETLE > ETLEs in other fetishes which ones? i think his theory is not compatible with a female essence or soul but there are sexual imprints which could be hereditary or formed during childhood which have an interplay with the trauma i think it's mainstream trans theories that believe in a trans essence inner girl and what not only time he talks about elusive stuff is when he's talking about abstract masochism but some trannies do like sissy content and it's helpful in understanding how agp transitioners loose arousal from agp thoughts when late into transition because they loose the sense of underlying maleness normally it's explained as loss of libido there are lot of other psychological phenomenon where the underlying cause is shrouded by some other outer feelings
