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.

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.

Stop burning yourself over unanswerable questions and start living your life.…
