The Navel Gays

Our guest today is a self-identified autoandrophile who goes by the name Fell online. Fell does not struggle with gender dysphoria but she is nonetheless keenly aware of her AAP and has been since her sexuality first manifested. Fell tells us about her early life experiences surrounding AAP, it’s connection to her ovulation cycle, and how she manages her obligate AAP while being in a monogamous re...

This week on the pod we are joined by Taftaj (@tafphorisms), noted political commentator and co-host of the Dollcast podcast. Taf was a youth transitioner, presents convincingly feminine, and experienced early attraction to boys. Taf was, for all intents and purposes, "true trans." So, how did she end up talking to the two of us about autogynephilia? Well, Taf believes that the truth will set her...

A common (and valid) criticism of AAP is that it does not function like a paraphilia analogous to AGP. "If this is a sexuality, where is all the sex?" Well, luckily for us, today's guest is not shy about the erotic roots of his transition. In this conversation we are joined by Frankie, a self-described "testo-butch" who transitioned to live as a transman after working as a professional dominatrix....

Our guests this week are among the most interesting, sharp, and controversial people on political twitter -- Diane Yap and Hunter Ash. We brought these two on to talk about the intricacies of dating for AGPs and the women who are drawn to them. We ended up talking about much more, and there's something to piss off everyone in this conversation! Tali and Aaron AAP-vestigate Diane, Hunter challenges...

This podcast is about autosexuality because we are interested in expanding the conversation around an often unspoken erotic inward turn. Although we're not particularly focused on the political ramifications, we believe that "autosexuality" is the most honest and accurate framework to describe the phenomenon that is at the root of most cross-sex identification. But, could "autosexual" also be the...

What is the one thing that the trans tech millionaires, the OF gamer tgirls, and the ROGD boys all have in common? Well, actually, it's two things: autosexuality (AGP) and autism. We are not doctors and we are not making diagnoses -- but we are sharing our observations about what we see as the overlap between desire to transition and high-functioning autistic traits. And we're not the only ones wh...

Once upon a time, the Heterodorx asked, "is Brianna Wu based?" Well, her new podcast just might be. This week on The Navel Gays, we react to the most recent Dollcast episode with guest evolutionary biologist, Colin Wright. We chime in to discuss our opinions on youth medical transition, the bathroom debate, and how autogynephilic psychology plays a role in trans politics. So, is Dollcast based? Le...

Dr. Az Hakeem has dedicated much of his professional life to psychoanalyzing and serving the UK trans population. He pioneered a support group model that brought together pre-ops and post-ops and created a space where unfiltered honesty trumped affirmation. He's written two books on the topic of transition/detransition and has shared his expertise in various interviews and documentaries. For all o...

Am I trans, or is it just a fetish? This question is asked daily in every corner of trans reddit. This week on the Navel Gays, we tackle this question with two of our favorite dysphorics, Annie and Ray. We discuss the differences and similarities between AGP and AGAMP (also known as partial AGP) and the different "types" of modern trans presentations. We interrogate how neuroticism, disgust, and p...

Annie is a 21 year old transwoman who most gender critics would classify as a ROGD Boy, that is unless they understood AGP as well as Annie does. Follow Annie on Substack.

We had Ashley back to wander deeper into the wild world of fandom and ‘shipping’ (AKA yaoi) and how they relate to FtM culture and transition. We try to tease apart what is autoandrophilia (AKA autohomoerotica) & what is social contagion (ROGD). Also, no lag this time so a much smoother conversation. If you didn’t listen to part one, Ashley is an autoandrophilic woman from Australia who has a lot...

Ashley is an autoandrophilic woman from Australia who has a lot of interesting insights on the topic of autoheterosexuality and metasexuality. We had so much to cover and not enough time, so Ashley will be back next week to continue where this conversation left off. Look out for part 2 next week, but in the mean time, you can check out Ashley's YouTubes below: https://www.youtube.com/@UCLU2QSQGHro...

This conversation is a more in depth response to some criticisms of our theory raised by Laura Reynolds on last week's episode. We strongly suggest watching that first if you haven't yet. The key to understanding the hypothesis put forward in this podcast, which is that autosexuality often causes homosexuality, lies in episodes 1 and 2. The podcast does not have to be listened to in full or in any...

This project is the regurgitation of an in depth conversation about the experience of autosexuality (sexual or romantic attraction to oneself), which often manifests as homosexuality. Meta sexuality is the ingredient that seems to turn autosexuality into homosexuality.

What is autosexuality? And can it cause homosexuality? We answer both! This project is the regurgitation of an in depth conversation about the experience of autosexuality (sexual or romantic attraction to oneself), which often manifests as homosexuality. Meta sexuality is the ingredient that seems to turn autosexuality into homosexuality. The key to understanding the hypothesis put forward in this...
