Autogynephilia
Autogynephilia (pronounced /ˌɔːtoʊˌɡaɪnəˈfɪliə/) (from Greek “αὐτό-” (self), “γυνή” (woman, though the stem is actually “γυναικ-”,[18] so that “autogynephilia” is ill-formed[19]) and “φιλία” (love) — "love of oneself as a woman") is a term coined in 1989 by Ray Blanchard, to refer to "a man's paraphilic tendency to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of himself as a woman."[11] Alternative terms proposed for this notion include automonosexuality, eonism, and sexo-aesthetic inversion.[20] The DSM-IV-TR includes an essentially equivalent definition, and recognizes autogynephilia as a common occurrence in the transvestic fetishism disorder, but does not classify autogynephilia as a disorder by itself.[21] (Blanchard has served on the gender dysphoria sub-working group for the DSM-IV and of the paraphilia sub-working group for the DSM-5.)
The term is most notable for its use in Blanchard's taxonomy to explain the motivation behind gender dysphoria in non-homosexual (gynephilic) male-to-female transsexuals, in contrast to sexuality as the motivating factor in homosexual (androphilic) transsexuals. Autogynephilia has also been suggested to pertain to romantic love as well as to sexual arousal patterns.[22] While Blanchard claims that autogynephilia does not exist in natal (from birth) women, Veale et al. (2008)[23] and Moser (2009)[24] report that it does exist in natal women at rates close to or equal to that of non-homosexual transsexuals. This is controversial.[25][26]
Blanchard provides case examples to illustrate the autogynephilic sexual fantasies that people reported:[8] ------ all T-girls!
According to Blanchard, "An autogynephile does not necessarily become sexually aroused every time he pictures himself as female or engages in feminine behavior, any more than a heterosexual man automatically gets an erection whenever he sees an attractive woman. Thus, the concept of autogynephilia—like that of heterosexuality, homosexuality, or pedophilia—refers to a potential for sexual excitation"[15] [emphasis in original].
Blanchard classified four subtypes of autogynephilic sexual fantasies, but noted that "All four types of autogynephilia tend to occur in combination with other types rather than alone."[15][27]
• Transvestic autogynephilia: arousal to the act or fantasy of wearing women's clothing
• Behavioral autogynephilia: arousal to the act or fantasy of doing something regarded as feminine
• Physiologic autogynephilia: arousal to fantasies of female-specific body functions
• Anatomic autogynephilia: arousal to the fantasy of having a woman's body, or parts of one.
There also exist biological males who report being sexually aroused by the image or idea of having some but not all female anatomy, such as having female breasts but retaining their male genitalia; Blanchard referred to this phenomenon as partial autogynephilia.[28][29]
