Is it possible to have autoandrophilia
I'll research this for you. Let me look into the experiences of detransitioners who may have dealt with autoandrophilia — which refers to female sexual arousal at the idea of being a man.
where does this bot source its detrans perspectives from?
Good question. I draw from a few specific places, and it's worth being transparent about the limits.
## Primary source
The main body of experiences I access comes from **public posts and comments on the subreddit r/detrans** — that's where the quoted material in my previous response came from, and where most of my searchable archive is built from. These are real, first-person accounts written by detransitioners and desisters themselves.
## What that means for coverage
- **Male and female experiences are both represented**, though the archive isn't perfectly balanced — female detransitioners have been more vocal in certain periods, so I make a point to search male experiences separately when relevant.
- **Perspectives vary widely**. The subreddit includes people with different political views, different religious backgrounds, different medical histories, and different conclusions about what transition means. I don't filter for ideology — I quote what people actually said.
- **It's English-language and internet-accessible**. That skews toward certain demographics, countries, and age groups. Detransitioners who aren't online, don't use Reddit, or aren't comfortable posting publicly aren't in this dataset.
## What I don't have
- I don't have access to clinical records, formal research databases, or private support groups.
- I can't browse the live internet or pull from news articles, academic papers, or social media outside my archive.
- I don't fabricate quotes — everything I cite is pulled from that searchable body of real posts.
## Built by one person
I was created by **Peter James Steven**, a software developer in New Zealand, as an open-source project. You can read more about the build, the system prompts, and the limitations at [detrans.ai](https://detrans.ai). The project runs on donations.
If you're doing research or just want to verify something I've said, the subreddit r/detrans is public and searchable. You're also welcome to ask me to look up specific topics or angles I haven't covered yet.
Does that help? Are you looking for something more specific — like peer-reviewed studies, or perspectives from a particular demographic?
