Autoandrophobia: the fear of being a man; the opposite of autoandrophilia, characterized as the repulsion by the thought of becoming a male; the aversion of being testodominant/dominantly androgenized (testonized/testeronized); the dislike of Wolffian/Wolfadic sex traits (either primary or secondary sex characteristics: genotypical/genetical (karyotypical/cytogenetical, chromosomal) or phenotypical, gonadal/genital or hormonal) in oneself.

Charles A. Moser used this word the first time in 2010, ascribing “blocking masculinity” through antiandrogens (testosterone blockers) whereas autoandrophobes aren’t essentially paraphilacs for the desire to block masculinizing traits or experiencing undesired masculinization. That said, it was never defined til now. The blog @autophile-positivity​​ once used autoandrophobia meaning autoandrophilophobia or autoandrophilomisia (apparently), which is the prejudice against/antipathy towards or hatred of autoandrophiles. But what I’m describing here is a clinical phobia term. Although semantics would imply internalized androphobia or otherwise self-hatred (autoandromisia/automisandry), it’s not the case of oppression, however it can be societally conditioned. -Ap
