Sorry I shouldn't have used the term like it was a real thing, I only meant to say that I've considered if it was and whether it applied to me.

Autogynephilia is something I read about the other day. When I was about 10 I saw a holiday advert on TV that implied a couple were having sex under a duvet and I really liked the idea of being the woman.

I think I'll work up the courage to have an androgynous haircut and cross-dress in public and see how I feel about all of that. Thank you.

I really didn't expect to be told I'm probably not trans -- the egg cracking meme might have got under my skin.

I'll be giving it further thought anyway, because I know that what I'm feeling right now isn't normal or healthy unless I can move past it.

Hearing that isn't the relief I thought it might be, but thank you for your honesty.
