I think that's over simplifying it a lot, obviously dysphoria and other needs come first, but you could read some Andrea Long Chu for a perspective on trans theory like that? Better than Blanchards take.
No idea on the men, though. There's certainly trans men writing gender theory but I don't think I've seen a take on male attractiveness come up in it much.
- libraryofbabel 1y agoOh god, don’t get me started on Andrea Long Chu. She is smart enough to be dangerous but says a lot of stuff just to be edgy and controversial which… let’s just say I don’t think that’s particularly helpful for trans people in the year 2025.
- aaaja 1y agoAndrea Long Chu's perspective includes celebrated takes like: > Sissy porn did make me trans. Also: > At the centre of sissy porn lies the asshole, a kind of universal vagina through which femaleness can always be accessed. Getting fucked makes you female because fucked is what a female is. And, according to Chu, the "barest essentials" of "femaleness" are: > an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes All of which I think says a lot about attitudes towards women from this particular subset of males.
