Hi! I love that you started this podcast; the underlying conceit has made so much of what I’ve seen online and in IRL LGBTQ+ spaces and read about historically make a lot more sense, but I get why people are resistant to it.
As for myself, after I listened to Phil Illy on Heterodorx in spring 2023, I realized that my own sexuality has also always been very inward-focused, similar to Tali’s. My meme-soaked brain was like, “Local TERF just realized she’s AGP - diversity win!” Not that I am or ever have been a radical feminist; I’ve just been watching this play out online from the gender ideology-skeptical side for a good thirteen years or so. And not that I think calling women “AGP” necessarily makes sense. But still - I had a very real “wait, that’s similar to how *I* experience *my* sexuality” moment. So yes, I think there’s something to all this autosexuality business and that better understanding it will be a great boon to getting us out of the current gender quagmire.
That's so great to hear! Thanks very much. Our hope is that more and more people have that same "wait! that's me!" realization listening to these discussions.
