paraphilias and autogynephilia will always be around, and yes, there will always be some very feminine men and some very masculine women. But the concept of transgender, itself, may well turn out to be a fad.

Some trans activists do want to subsume feminine men and masculine women into transgender. However, I do not see any average person conceiving of the word as such. If I grab a random bloke off the street and say "transgender," they always take that to mean transsexual, because that is what the trans landscape is all about.

No problem with paraphilias, including AGP, but that is something you should try to do in your own time, in the private sphere of your life, with consenting, adult partners. Plenty of people with paraphilias have no problem pulling that off. If AGP, which it sometimes can do, becomes such an impediment to being a functioning person that medical and social transition, under the auspices of an informed clinician, is the correct palliative care, then so be it.
