But just to clarify: autogynephilia is not exclusive to heterosexual men who decide to "transition." Many men with AGP decide to deal with it in other ways.

Also, gay males can have AGP as well, whether or not they ID as trans or have medical treatment to "transition." This has always been the case. Even back when Ray Blanchard came up with his typology, AGP was seen in a fair number of the HSTS population. For them, it was an additional motivation for their trans identity, whereas for AGP straight men it was the sole motivation.

Especially nowadays with the vast influence of internet porn, hentai, fetishism, sissy hypno, drag queen culture, lives lived in fantasy land online, and heightened sex stereotypes, etc, a large and growing number of homosexual young men also are autogynephiles. This is true whether they ID as trans or not.

A lovely young gay man posted a video on YT a while back that was discussed on here in which he revealed he'd previously identified as a "trans woman" because he was both gay and AGP. I'll try to find it and post a link later.
