From the abstract:

"Conclusion Ultimately, this study found little evidence for the hypothesis that sexual behavior, sexual desire, and psychosexual experience differ substantially in gynephilic (exclusively gynephilic and bisexual) and androphilic trans women."

This doesn't disprove autogynephillia. Also, the research was conducted through a self-reporting online survey, which honestly leads to inconclusive results. Also, just because there is little evidence for the hypothesis that behavior, desire, and experience between gynophillic and androphillic tw differs, does not mean that getting turned on by thinking of oneself as a woman, is not a behavior of tw.

    "autogynephilia" is a normal aspect of female sexuality (after HRT has been given)

    Receipts, please? Because as a natal woman the only time i felt "turned on" by being a woman is in the privacy of my bedroom masturbating, thinking about how men want me. It's a total narcissistic fantasy and not one i indulge in often, because i recognize how stupid and gross it is to be turned on by male sexual objectification.

    Or are you saying that your desire to be a "woman" stems from a narcissistic masturbatory phantasy in which you are sexually desired and validated by men?

    Are you literally saying that you define "woman" as a machine used soley for sexual pleasure? Because if you are, you're clearly a conservative mysogynist.

    I think they mean “trans woman” and not female as we understand female to mean natal female. Because I haven’t seen evidence of women turned on by being women, but who knows. But a woman being turned on by herself is different than a male being turned on by thinking about being a woman. Lol.
