I wouldn’t imagine actual women experience this psychological condition. Autogynephillia if we break down the word means self-woman-attraction/fixation and it’s categorised as a paraphillia because of the sexual arousal or satisfaction that manifests imagining oneself as a woman when one is not female.

Males and females have different patterns of sexual response, the autogynephillic response is noticeably influenced by testosterone, it’s why a lot of trans women claim they “grow out of it” on estrogen. Because the estrogenic sexual response is not the same, it’s less intense.

So taking some markers from autogynephiles would be “I’m aroused at the thought of having breasts” Okay, most women are not aroused when they are growing breasts, nor by the presence of them on their body. What the breasts indicate is that a woman is of reproductive age, sexuality usually follows that rather than preceding it.

But the point of the thing is that autogynephillia always begins with a thought of having something which is not natural to their body, it is inherently cross-sex. The example of breasts is interesting because I think it marks the paraphillic desire to become sexually available as a “woman” even if only to oneself. Which is not usually the behaviour of autogynephiles, they usually also identify as lesbians and expect to be accepted there.

The female equivalent is autoandrophillia, women are certainly capable of being pathological and self aggrandising but autogynephillia as discussed by Blanchard is a male typography.
