Why are titles so complex?

One controversy keeps popping up no matter where I go, and that controversy is the autogynophilia and trans differance. It's been bugging me, because I seriously HATE IT when I can't understand something. So, I've been trying for almost 4 days now to understand what the differance is between ->-bleeped-<- and autogynophilia. I mean, the basic concept I THINK I understand, but I just don't get the definition of an autogynophile, or what IDs a person as one.

Can someone clear this up for me, because I really am losing my smug sense of self-satisfaction and know-it-all-ism. :'( (::))

Somebody who is transsexual identifies as the opposite biological GENDER. An autogynophile gets a SEXUAL kick out of imagining himself as a woman. Wooooorld of difference. Keep in mind though that pretty-much anything we repress usually ends up manifesting, often in a sexual way, so to say that autogynophilia is the SOURCE of being trans is incomplete - it COULD be (though I kinda don't think so) but more likely is that one's repressed gender feelings manifest during fantasy and take on a sexual connotation.

Hmm, I see how you got the "t"s mixed up. Then again, a lowercase "L" DOES look like a capitol "I."

Maybe I should change the title?  :D

And when I start HRT, I will keep your little mistake in mind and make a "complicated boobies" thread. And I'm not talking about the blue-footed birds.  :P

Alas, poor Pariah. Pretend you never heard of AG and your life will be improved.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

It's very simple. It's the same as the difference between a bicycle and Hawaii.
