That doesn't sound like a paraphilia to me: Paraphilias are frequent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies or behaviors that involve inanimate objects, children (although I find children to be distinct to a normal paraphilia... More of an erotic target location error) or nonconsenting adults, or suffering or humiliation of oneself or the partner

Do you consider autogynephilia to be a paraphilia? Because this sounded a lot like the inverse of that.

I've read r/askagp and itsafetish a bit and while I don't comprehensively understand the condition I see these aspects in some stories there. Not sure if you're asking more for cicerosolo's rationalizations or a discussion of AGP as a whole, but hey I typed this up so have it.

intensity - AGP appears to be difficult to suppress and addictive. For many trying to block it out results in a severe relapse. It also appears to require escalation when being indulged.

inanimate objects - Crossdressing and clothes stealing. Stealing may be part of a non-consenting aspect. The attachment to the feminine persona embodied by the clothes appears deeper than as an accessory to sex. I've seen some AGP men go through phases of disgust, throwing out their collection of female clothes, and then relapsing and buying large amounts over again.

humiliation - Many AGP are distressed by an addiction to "sissy" porn. I've decided that humiliation's interplay with male sexuality is something I as a female can't understand, as I see men say sissy porn causes extreme self-esteem issues. In some transformation porn, the change to a female role is humiliating because the female role is lesser, subservient, or a sex object.

Nonconsenting adults - I've seen a desire to 'trick' straight men or go 'stealth' with lesbians, but this seems infrequent and minor.

google defines paraphilia as "a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities." That some men would prostitute themselves to other men or go to the lengths of transitioning to relieve their urges qualify as extreme and dangerous to me.
