Autogynephilia is an outdated, thoroughly debunked term btw. Find some reading below:

Comment on Freud

It’s kind of ironic that Freud came up with this weird theory considering autogynephilia is more common in men than autoandrophilia is in women: The Prevalence of Paraphilic Interests in the Czech Population: Preference, Arousal, the Use of Pornography, Fantasy, and Behavior

It’s quite clear by now that it has practically nothing to do with gender incongruence, i.e. trans folks, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist as a paraphilia. That is, just because Blanchard got his theory wrong based on incomplete data and probably a good dose of being born into certain social construct doesn’t mean that no cis men get aroused at the thought of them as a woman. It is, as the study in the comment you replied to shows, actually quite common.
Gotta distinguish between the phenomenon auto[gyno/andro]philia (exists), Blanchard’s interpretation wrt. trans folks, (falsified), and TERFs (hateful anti-science assclowns). Otherwise we’d be kink shaming.

Many of Freud’s early patients were dissatisfied housewives. I have no difficulty believing he accidentally discovered trans men and came to the conclusion all women wish they have a penis. Hirschfeld he was not.

Science facts I question why you know, for 500$, Ragdoll.

But in case you’re curious about the actual answerA while back I was doing some research on the prevalence of different paraphilias, and this was one of the few large representative studies I came across. There’s one more from Canada, but they didn’t ask about autogynephilia/androphilia
