A paraphilia where a man or trans woman is aroused by the idea of being a woman and presenting in a feminine manner.
Originally popularized by Ray Blanchard, who theorized that trans women fell into two categories, AGPTS and HSTS. AGPTS described straight men who transitioned due to this paraphilia and HSTS described gay men who transitioned.
The term is typically viewed as offensive by the trans community, and is commonplace in radical feminist and anti-trans conservative groups who claim that a large number of trans women transition due to AGP. Despite this, a growing number of trans women have adopted it as an identification. These trans women hold a variety of beliefs about AGP. Some believe that it is a form of normal female sexuality, others believe that it is a static orientation and a valid reason to transition, while others believe that transitioning is a potentially beneficial choice to cope with severe AGP. On the other hand, many detrans men and previous questioners view transitioning as a poor coping mechanism for AGP, and may attribute their transition or previous desire to transition to lack of knowledge about the paraphilia.
There are many stereotypes associated with AGP, most related to the prominence of AGP in 'nerdy' male-dominated internet communities, such as programming communities and video game communities such as the FGC.
AGP has a female counterpart in AAP.
