I don't completely buy into the 'autogynephilic' angle. I don't necessarily become aroused at the thought of me being a woman. But when I get dressed to the nines and "become" a woman, I want to experience all the mental, emotional, and physical experiences that women experience, up to and including sex. Autogynephilia seems to be a description of the sexual component only, and in my opinion is insufficient in explaining the phenomena because of the all-encompassing experience I described above.
