The idea that transgender men are women who are so lesbian that they want to be male.
Autoandrophilia is false, and debunked by the existence of transgender men who are also gay (i.e. transgender men who like other men).
Similar to autogynephilia, except the sexes are reversed. Commonly believed by transphobes, TERFs, and people from the 1980s.
TERFs are misogynist transphobes who hide under the guise of “protecting women's rights”. However, by perpetuating such outmoded ideas about transgenderpeoplelike autoandrophilia, they fail at their only purported purpose.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
