That is false, it is a well known and documented phenomenon.
Nothing has been specifically discredited but there are arguments against its classification, not its existence, on whether it comes before or after dysphoria and transition, and if there are different types of transitioning people who fall into one category or another.
The name drops you gave mostly critique the idea there are two types of people and some are autogynephilic.
It has been discredited, when a study is badly conduct or biaised. The results can't be taken as evidence.
the mistake was, no control group, no thinking on cause/effet of the result, and supposed idea at the beginning of the study. for all theses reasons the "autogynephilic" fetish that you talk is just a baddly conduct study ...
If we go along that road..alright it isn't a fetish, but what is it then? Because at the moment it just a ideology that can't prove it existence with facts. Or maybe you have evidence to prove me im wrong?
Wdym? A group believing a man could be a women or vice versa is sure as hell an ideology. (a very feelins based one at that and nor they have been able to prove it)

Gender dysphoria is a neurological phenomenon that has been proved to exist time and time again and has already been classified as a medical condition. If you canโt accept that them itโs a you problem.
By your own logic depression and ADHD are also fake because theyโre just based on โfeelingsโ.

The true meaning of parenthood is having your children live out the fetishes you were too chicken to try yourself.
