As far as Trans folk go, I find Autogynophyles especially interesting (straight MALES who admire women so much that want to BE women themselves) if the subject matter was not complex enough.

I replied...

And that?s not what autogynephilia is. That is a debunked hypothesis where a straight MAN becomes sexually aroused at the site of himself as a woman.
Transwomen are not straight men who want to be women because they admire them so much or because they are sexually aroused at the idea of being a woman.
I think you might need to do more research.

I read one commenter in this thread mention something about AGP being total BS.

I didn't say "total BS" and I said it response to Marina's insinuation that it is a hypothesis that applies to trans people.

I read one commenter in this thread mention something about AGP being total BS. All of it? If that is so, what does that make me in your opinion based on my description? I'm always open to new opinions and insight.

Based on your description?
I think you are red-blooded, heterosexual MAN who has found a healthy view and outlet from wearing women's clothing. I don't think you're transgender or even close. I think imagining yourself as a woman and dressing as a woman gets you sexually aroused. But given what you wrote above... I truly believe you're a heterosexual, cisgender man.

Transwomen are not men. Some... some, for various reasons may have some male anatomy but they are not men. AND... if a transwoman gets sexually aroused it isn't because of the flawed nature of Blanchard's hypothesis.
There are a lot of articles written on the subject in support of and against.
There is an unfortunate lack of study on trans folks in general however, the idea of AGP as it was applied to trans women has been disproven through critical thought, logic and reason countless times.

Here is a really good article (albeit, quite long) on the subject.
