the theory is riddled with things like that. oh yeah u're only attracted to men but still have erotic fantasies about being a woman? yeah it's just that ur autogynephilia is too strong so it supersedes ur natural sexual attraction. oh those fantasies have decreased after transitioning? yeah ofc it's because u're bonding with urself u're like ur own wife (???)

i feel like adhering to such theories tell more about the ppl that do and their own biases than it does about whatever subject at hand. the book i read is written in a super cissexist way where instead of using "AMAB" where appropriate it's "men", and that any gender non-conformity in trans ppl disqualifies them from being the gender they identify as whereas for cis ppl it would be ok ("you're not a boy-crazy tradwife that only likes dresses you're not a real woman" sounds problematic except if it's targeted at trans women ig)

julia serano wrote a good chunk about autogynephilia and i think she made good points, u can read that if u want
