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

autoandrophilia* This definitely has to be classed as it. What I find funny is that society does not think it is possible for women, only for men (and thus, is something gross). That's why there's so little content on the topic.

society for the longest time didn't even admit that we even got turned on. "Lie back and think of england" was heard often when I was growing up. This was interesting...https://thewalrus.ca/building-a-better-female-orgasm/ …

It's definetly a thing, wether you call it autoandrophilia or something else. Saw a lot of it on Tumblr back in the day. Typically girls who were way into anime and the whole lgbt - world. Yaoi is interesting, it's probably the most succsesfull erotica for women.

And while the characters are gay men, they are super feminine and sensitive, and the plot is slow and romance driven. It's way way different than actual gay porn. I think many girls are intrigued by it because it tells a story. And it doesn't involve sexualised images of women.

That would be autoandrophilia (AAP) - the paraphilia in which the subject is aroused by the thought of becoming a male with same-sex attraction. There's some evidence for this, but it likely does not account for majority of FtM (whereas AGP does for MtF)
