Thanks for sharing. I've never had gender dysphoria so I try to educate myself on the plight these people have, particularly since they want to encroach into other's rights and have access to educating children. Reading about autogynephelia (AGP) was very eye opening, it explained a lot of the fetishization and helped me understand why some people dressed and acted in a way that wasn't particularly female, but more of the blackface version of female that used to be comedic or self-empowering with the crossdressing community. There's definitely a difference between identifying as a woman in a man's body and feeling sexual gratification by being a little girl or wearing girl clothes both in and out of the bedroom. The trans community hates talking about AGP because there's likely a large number of people in their community that can be written off as having AGP, and there seems to be a correlation between AGP and being either too sexualized as a child or outright sexually abused.
Yeah, though drag queens are more the "gay man impersonating women" who really go over-the-top garish. Some trans are like that too, don't get me wrong. Though "supposedly" they aren't. But that depends on who you talk to.
Once when I was still active in the scene I got an outfit from the gap. I went to one of the nightlife clubs in this outfit, which included women's pants and tennis shoes. I was going low-key. One of the trannies confronted me. "Why are you dressed like that? Don't you have a dress? Pantyhose? High heels?"
And I was like: "Real women don't always wear those, why should I?"

Glad to hear you're in a good place.
