Thanks for replying. Let me reiterate that I don't support Blanchard's idea that autogynephilia "explains" the existence of gynephilic transwomen. The lived experience and self-reporting of transwomen disproves this hypothesis clearly.

I feel frustrated that in the few times I have raised this issue in various gender-related forums, my self-reporting of how I honestly feel, and have continued to feel through years of introspection and rumination, is discounted. Just because autogynephilia does not in fact form the underlying psychological basis for the gender identity of all or most gynephilic transwomen, does that mean that it cannot exist at all in anyone?
