Autogynephilia, coined by Ray Blanchard, refers to "a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female." Does it only apply to males, though? Hear me out: 1/3

I've spoken to detrans women who say they only sought transition after reading gay male fan fiction online. They'd fantasize about being one or more of the characters in these stories and became aroused at the thought of being attractive, desirable gay males. 2/3

Would this be classed as autogynephilia or something else? I find it fascinating but I've seen so little on the topic. Thoughts? 3/3

I think with most females, they’re enticed by gay fiction bc it seems more empowering than hetero and bc they emotionally connect with the characters/stories. AGP is much more straightforward visual & sexual from my observation.

Agree. I’m my experience this would be “romanticising, yearning for and pining for” relationships with men “along gay lines”. So they want to be that thing. AGP is all about raw sexual *desire* and fantasising. Very different although appears similar at first glance.
