GAMP

May 03 2019

So I recently met a guy at a friend's party, and we got chatting. He seems like your normal accountant, nothing exciting (no offense to accountants). I was about to walk off as I was getting bored with the polite conversation... Until I spotted an interestingly dressed effeminate man in the corner. I suppose I was looking at him when the Mr accountant siddled up to me and said "you noticed him too? He's a gamp's dream' then walks off to get another drink from the bar. GAMP? I had to Google this. Lol Learnt something new. So have you met anyone into GAMP?

    GAMP (gynandromorphophilia) is a scientific term denoting attraction to GAMs (gynandromorphs). That is to say, GAMPs are men or women who feel sexually aroused by feminized men (who are themselves most often trans-identified males who've undergone some form of medical gender transition).

    Found a few things that didn't make sense? Computerised systems. And umbrellas? I'm intrigued. Peachy

    Quoting 'Seachange' GAMP (gynandromorphophilia) is a scientific term denoting attraction to GAMs (gynandromorphs).

Thanks for the explanation. Good luck with the topic. Peachy

    Just curious about it. I thought I've heard it all. Then something like that this shows up. Never heard of it and curious if there are many into it. I wouldn't think there are but I may be surprised.

    Hahahahaha I did the same. It first came up with umbrellas and my first though was ‘interesting, what would you do with an umbrella and where would you put it (apart from opening it and putting it over your head, or maybe twirling for fun it if it was a rainbow colored one)’. Then I came across the urban dictionary definition ..... Maybe your regular boring accountant was a bit of a closet GAMP himself 😉.

    I totally dislike society because of terms like this....

    Mate: I don't like society - Period. BUT, not because of terms like this. We have to describe tings - it IS human nature.We have to categorise things - THAT is human nature too. Every single one of our phobias, manias, feelings, beliefs, belongings HAVE to be labelled. Why is ok and acceptable to have double-barrelled Latin names for every single living organism ever identified, then add common names to them and to go further by adding colloquial names to the same creature/being, but not accept the adaptation of the same philosophy to the idiosyncrasies of ourselves? Just getting clarification here

    Cavey... Well I think the Latin naming provides an international standard of identification... The shortening of those things to colloquialisms provide a much more localised identity... But I find it a struggle that we need a label for everything.....because then we seek to fuck shit up deeper by then providing a scale of the same thing because heaven forbid someone or something feels outside of a definition....which is ironic given that most people would like to be not pigeon holed lol If only we just saw shit as shit, and things can be inexplicable for no other reason other than they just are...

    I don't really care if he's into anything as that's not my Life to lead. Labels are a part of life. We label everything from being heterosexuals, sexually fluid, homosexual, bisexual, etc. The list goes on. It's just our way of associating new concepts or ideas to learnt and accepted concepts we have in our brains. It doesn't have to be malicious but can be used to extend each person's view of reality. Norms change as we, as individuals and society evolve. For me, labels are double edge sword. It's how we use it matters.

    Labels are what explain things, and makes things much clearer. For instance. I always knew my son was different and when you get a diagnosis (label) It clarifies so many things and creates an understanding.

    The only label we need in life as people....are our names... Any other label isn’t an identifier, but a categorising attribute that’s used to isolate/segregate.... This is why in my opinion, we have so many people on this earth that fail to identify where they belong...because we as a society collective have weighed our own identities down with unnecessary labels...

    You label people yourself. Just saying, Peachy

    I label their behaviour yes.... But it’s an entirely different thing to label behaviour vs label a person in the context that pertains to their identity... Whilst it may be hypocritical to some that I distinguish a difference between the two, I still see them as separate and quite different.

We'll thank Google for this little description on the deeper meaning of identity. Thassall, Peachy "What is the deeper meaning of identity?The definition of identity is who you are, the way you think about yourself, the way you are viewed by the world and the characteristics that define you. An example of identity is a person's name . An example of identity are the traditional characteristics of an American."

    It's interesting how you have skipped around the point I made to start with that you do use labels but I don't need you to agree with me to know my point is true and relevant. Cheers, Peachy

    Peachy... I acknowledged your point....and I’m unsure where in my responses I’ve given any expectation that your viewpoint change.... I’m okay if you don’t agree...so your last response is rather confusing...

    I disagree with you that you describe people's behaviours. My initial point and it still stands is that you label people. I won't bother with this round and round any more. I only said something because you seemed to think you knew better than other people who have posted but I disagree. Cheers, Peachy

    Again peachy it’d be nice where I implied that I claim to know better than others... Personally I see posts as a statement of opinion...which I assume that most people look at everyone’s posts in the same light... Especially given I don’t provide quotes or claim my contribution is a result of research.... So I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry that my posts are still abrasive to you, so either make a conscious decision to not read them or be prepared to get triggered by them....😊

    Everything’s gotta be something 🙄 I do understand the necessity to label people or pass judgment to some degree, but it’s getting ridiculous. It seems particularly prevalent when it comes to gender & sexual identities and its for this reason that in this instance I agree with Anti. People can just be people & do or dress how they please on any given day without there having to be a specific label for every single want/desire/behaviour. Some days I like lesbian porn & fantasise about that, maybe one day I’ll engage sexually with a woman again, maybe I won’t...do I need a label for that? Hell no! It all just gets too difficult and I don’t find the need to be defined by any label in this case. Sure the basics might be necessary but too many labels does promote segregation in my opinion. For me GAMP falls under the umbrella of excessive and unnecessary labelling.

    It also encourages expectations, which may be the worse aspect of all when it comes to labelling others...

    @ Cavey - Deep man and I love it. Some examples of Latin to colloquial: Homosapiens - people - peeps Homosentimentalis - sentimental man - beta male/snowflake (lol) Homoignorams - ignorant man - ignoramus Homotroglodyte - cave dwelling man - Cavey (lol) @ Anti - a broad spectrum is normal • emotions/feelings (apathy to interest to passion) • beliefs (left wing to neutral to right wing) • sexual orientation (straight to same-sex experiences to homosexual) • religion (devout to agnostic to atheist)
