3 > There are AGPs in the 'pro-trans' Blanchardian cluster, but the 'anti-trans' ones are pretty universally AGP. Davis is ... doing a very good job of making himself hard to stick labels on, which I admire, but posts like Smart show his hand enough to make it clear that he's closer to anti- than pro-, and the fact that people on this board have described his blog as 'being about how trans is bullshit' doesn't help. His hormones experiment is also five steps beyond 'playing with fire' and more like 'directly throwing yourself on a fire', but he still insists it isn't transitioning.
5 > Davis is certainly hormonally transitioning, but he's convinced himself he can avoid the social aspect, and that's what he rails against AGPs doing. Dude's not going to pull that off. Having watched other anti-trans type Blanchardian 'eggs' hatch and immediately turn on their former belief system, I'm concerned about the implications of this.

9 > wow, an actual candidate for "autistic gender fixation"
13 > I like how you disclaimed the need for trigger/content warnings in discussions of anything regarding sex/gender/the intersection, then put a 'tw school' on your latest post -- it's not _wrong_, per se, but it's _fascinating_

17 > I am still sometimes baffled by you folks. You are clearly clever, can write essays about arcane topics and put a lot of thought and energy in a consistent world view, cite academic sources pro and contra to it, and take on a whim for half a year sex hormones, even though it can make you sterile and messes with your body, just to see how it makes you feel. (Fricking Hormones!)

21 > (I am still a virgin, due to—performance difficulties on my part.)
23 > Excelling on a higher order, even daring to defy everything sacred and even nature itself, and then totally sucking at a basic human experience.... That may seem harsh, it is not meant that way, but ... dude. Dude! How can one undertake complicated research project to fullfill vain ideas about autogynophilia, instead of working a plan out to get laid?
