  • Three reasons why REAL MEN are autogynephiliacs (is this the cure for AGP?)
    Mar 2 2025

    In this episode, the author investigates the concept of a cure for autogynephilia through the lens of cognitive therapy—not as a magic pill, but as a way of managing, understanding, and even redefining what it means to live with it. Rather than chasing an impossible transformation, the discussion challenges the foundational ideas that shape this particular form of sexuality, moving beyond the toxic discourse of shame and denial. https://novagirl.net/can-you-cure-autogynephilia-with-cognitive-therapy/

    Through Rational Emotive Therapy and a reframing of self-perception, we explore how AGP can be seen not as a burden, but as a source of resilience, creativity, and even strength. The goal? Not to "fix" / cure what isn't broken, but to help crossdreamers reclaim their narrative—and stop being so bloody miserable.

  • Sissy Fetish or Authentic Transgender Identity
    Feb 23 2025

    In this episode, we tackle the enduring sissy fetish versus transgender debate—a question that has tormented many late-onset transgender individuals: “Is my identity real, or just an outgrowth of a sissy fetish?” (for more info: novagirl.net ) We explore the psychological and evolutionary underpinnings of sexuality and identity, examining why the origins of gender feelings are ultimately unprovable and, more importantly, why obsessing over them is counterproductive. Whether your identity began with sexual impulses or not, the key takeaway is this: you deserve happiness and self-respect. Stop burning yourself over unanswerable questions and start living your life.

  • Is autogynephilia real?
    Jan 14 2025

    In this podcast, (original blog post novagirl.net ) Felix Conrad argues that while autogynephilia is certainly real the term should certainly be used with caution and should always be contextualized and constrained by three key facts. Conrad calls them the three laws of autogynephilia and they are aimed at impeding some of the wilder transphobic misconceptions that arise from acknowledging that the phenomenon exists.
