 > 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.
  
 > 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.

This switches the west to """transgender homosexuality""", as, uh, the newHSTSs (that is, the HSTS-spectrum people who're now feminine in that society but aren't in ours) are now less attractive to each other but more attractive to straight men, and the straight men are less opposed to having sex with them because less homophobia. The newHSTSs are probably going to use HRT, if nothing else then because it makes them more attractive to straight men
