Zack M. Davis is the writer behind 'The Scintillating But Ultimately Untrue Thought' (http://unremediatedgender.space), a blog about social science and epistemology with an emphasis on autogynephilia and gender issues. He describes how the romantic/non-erotic side of autogynephilia—which he calls his "beautiful pure sacred self-identity thing"—compelled him to alter his handwriting, grow his hair out, and try using a gender-neutral name. Sympathetic to gender egalitarianism, he originally took a blank-slate stance on psychological sex differences, but further reading on the subject brought an end to his denial of psychological sex differences.
For Zack, encountering the concept of autogynephilia was revelatory, but it took many years before he realized its direct connection to being transgender. After he did, he started a blog to talk about autogynephilia, the MtF typology, and related subjects. He quickly realized that many people were not so concerned about the ultimate causes of MtF transgenderism and instead tended to insist that language could be constructed to suit people's preferences. In response, he shifted toward talking about the philosophy of language and why language should carve reality at its joints.
