I think autogynepilia is only harmful in a combination with the current TRA madness. I'm not aware of problems it caused prior to that.

Guess it depends on what you mean by "harmful" and "problems." I personally know several families who were destroyed, and all the members deeply damaged, by their dads' AGP in the 1970s. These men were abusive, highly narcissistic gaslighters who wreaked havoc on their wives and kids in myriad ways. The men are dead now (each had several strokes from taking estrogen, and one died of AIDS), but the damage and distress they caused to their families still lives on and is very evident in the pain and problems their now-grown children continue to cope with to this very day.

Wouldn't have perhaps these families been destroyed by the men's narcissism, not by AGP?

There seems to be a connection between narcissism and autogynephilia.

Yes, beyond doubt. Narcissism is central to AGP.

Yes, narcissism or any cluster B personality disorder on the part of a parent could/would destroy families. But an additional level of mind fuckery occurs when a nearly 50-year-old man starts demanding that his kids call him mom, and insisting that he do "girl things" with his daughters - and he says it's unfair and bigoted when his the daughters don't want to share their undies, clothing and makeup with him. Especially when he's been sexually abusing all his kids of both sexes in the family since forever.

Yes -- any Axis II Cluster B will do, also some forms of Bipolar. They're a perfect framework for AGP.
