Authenticity Assessment: Not Suspicious

Based on the provided comments, the account KinkyGuy79 exhibits several serious red flags suggesting it is inauthentic and not a genuine detransitioner or desister.

The primary red flags are:

  1. Inconsistent Identity: The user claims to be an "AGP" (Autogynephile) but also states, "I have no intention to be a female and I would always want to go back being male," which contradicts the core motivation of AGP. This suggests a poor understanding of the very concept they are championing.

  2. Extreme and Off-Topic Bigotry: The comment attacking the entire LGBTQ+ community as a "perversion" and making homicidal claims is a significant red flag. This goes far beyond the anger or criticism of gender ideology often found in detrans spaces and into unrelated, violent bigotry, which is a common trait of troll accounts.

  3. Repetitive, Agenda-Driven Script: The comments read less like personal experience and more like someone pushing a specific, controversial agenda (Blanchard's typology) in a copy-paste manner, using inflammatory and pseudo-scientific language to provoke a reaction.

The extreme bigotry and internal contradictions in the user's stated identity are strong indicators this is a troll or bot, not a genuine user.

About me

My journey started with confusion where I believed my feelings were gender dysphoria, but I now understand they were rooted in autogynephilia and other mental health issues like OCD and anxiety. I found that common advice, especially from gender therapists, was unhelpful because they never addressed my underlying problems. Transitioning didn't help and became frightening, as I realized I didn't want to permanently become female and always desired to return to being male. Taking antidepressants helped me more than anything by reducing my sex drive and managing the obsessive thoughts. I regret not questioning the common narrative sooner, but going through this was necessary for me to finally understand myself.

My detransition story

Looking back at everything I wrote, my journey with gender was really complicated and rooted in a lot of confusion and other mental health issues. For a long time, I believed I was dealing with gender dysphoria, but I’ve come to understand it was primarily autogynephilia (AGP). This is a condition where a male gets sexual arousal from the idea of being a woman. I am an AGP myself.

I now see that my feelings weren't about having a "lady brain" or being born in the wrong body. It was a fetish. I think a big part of why this happened was because I was struggling with other problems. I believe things like OCD, anxiety disorders, and past trauma can create or worsen these feelings. Treating those underlying issues is what really helps diminish the dysphoria, not transitioning.

I was very influenced by what I read online and found that a lot of the common advice, especially from gender therapists, was not helpful. I think most gender therapists are full of pseudoscience and are irresponsible. They never asked me about my autism or tried to address my other mental health problems with proper psychotherapy. I strongly believe people should avoid them.

Transitioning didn't solve my problems. I realized that most people with AGP, including me, don't end up passing as women, and the idea of permanently becoming female became frightening. I always had a desire to go back to being male. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can have serious health complications, and for some people, it makes the dysphoria and obsessive thoughts even worse. I found that taking antidepressants helped me more than anything else because they lowered my sex drive, which directly helped manage the AGP.

My views on the LGBTQ+ community were very negative and hostile during that time, which I regret. I think that hostility was a reflection of my own internal struggle and confusion.

I don't regret transitioning in the sense that I needed to go through it to understand what was really going on with me. But I do regret not understanding my autogynephilia and my other mental health issues sooner. My main regret is following the common transgender narrative without questioning it more deeply and not getting the right kind of therapy for my underlying conditions.

Here is a timeline of my journey based on what I talked about:

My Age Year Event
Not specified Before 2019 Struggled with autogynephilia, OCD, anxiety, and possibly trauma. Believed these feelings were gender dysphoria.
Not specified Around 2019 Saw a gender therapist but felt it was unhelpful and irresponsible pseudoscience.
Not specified Around 2019 Started taking antidepressants. Found they helped by reducing sex drive and managing anxiety.
Not specified By mid-2019 Realized my condition was autogynephilia, not gender dysphoria. Understood that transitioning was not the right path for me and that I wanted to remain male.

First step to alleviate dysphoria is to not believe that you have a “lady brain” and start realizing that you have a fetish

Do you have anything that will worsen you dysphoria Ocd, trauma, BDD, BDP, sexual frustration, DID,anxiety disorders, psychosis or comorbidity

Treating them will help diminish your dysphoria

I recommend you to also take antidepressants because they help diminish dysphoria it will diminish you sex drive which helps alleviate AGP and help manage other anxiety disorders at the same time

Don’t listen to you’re therapist

You aren’t trans emotionally or scientifically

She isint a doctor or anything so she doesn’t know anything about transgenderism, therapists are very irresponsible she didn’t even ask about you autism and didn’t do psychotherapy

Please don’t go to gender therapists they full of BS pseudoscience and a waste of money

Reddit user KinkyGuy79 explains why he, as an autogynephilic person, chose not to transition, citing the inability to pass, a desire to remain male, and the potential for HRT to cause health problems or worsen dysphoria.

The only problem is is that most of us AGPs don’t pass, I have no intention to be a female and I would always want to go back being male. Transition doesn’t heal everything, what about the effects of HRT like diseases, some people become even more dysphoric and obsessive when they transition.

Reddit user KinkyGuy79 explains why they believe autogynephilia is not a pseudoscience, citing brain scans, links to mental disorders, and identifying as AGP themselves.

There is nothing you can do to explain why autogynephilia is pseudo science All what you say is that it’s pseudo science without any proof

I am an AGP myself

Why do you think mental disorders, rape and trauma make people autogynephilic

Many AGPs have other mental disorders

There is even proof that AGPs are actually male, they did brain scan tests and saw that they had a masculine brain

Autogynephiles are simply transvestites
