A bit of background: A sexologist, Ray Blanchard, coined the AGP term. He claimed it is the reason that TSs who are attracted to women want to transition. This caused a great deal of furor among transwomen, who understandably resented being told that they were motivated to transition for fetish reasons.
I agree though that among fetish crossdressers particularly, AGP can be either autoerotic or with a male partner, if the CDer is not attracted to men in male mode. If you want to discuss AGP, I strongly recommend you do so in the CDer section.
If, however, you are in fact TS and you are using other means to approximate having a woman's body until you have gender reassignment surgery, then that's quite another thing. But honestly I think you should discuss this privately via PM with someone.
