Autogynephilia, anybody?

[jo_ann]

I believe that autogynephilia is an imaginary disorder. It doesn’t exist for anyone, not even the people who confess to having it.

I disagree with it being an imaginary disorder and that it doesn't exist for anyone (there are also people that don't believe bi-sexuality exists). By it's very definition states:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogynephilia

* Transvestic autogynephilia: arousal to the act or fantasy of wearing women's clothing
* Behavioral autogynephilia: arousal to the act or fantasy of doing something regarded as feminine
* Physiologic autogynephilia: arousal to fantasies of female-specific body functions
* Anatomic autogynephilia: arousal to the fantasy of having a woman's body, or parts of one.

At least 2 if not 3 of those things apply to me and have so even during puberty. When I was 12 it's not like the internet even existed, and even if it did it's not as if I looked that up and said "Hmm, I'm bored.. what condition could I believe I have in my hypocondriac ways? Ahh, autogynephilia! that sounds twisted enough". I had those feelings long before I even knew other people shared those same feelings.

If self-love does exist, it is subjective self-love, not objective self-love.

Well of course it's subjective, if it were objective that would mean it was real (I.E. I could physically turn myself into a woman at will). It's a fantasy, an idea, but most sexuality is in the mind.
