A growing body of research suggests that males can have internalized sexualities such as autogynephilia (sexual attraction to the thought or image of oneself as female) which lead to the development of trans identity. Here I present evidence that females can have analogous internalized sexualities such as autoandrophilia (sexual attraction to the thought or image of oneself as male) which similarly lead to the development of trans identity. The case for female autoandrophilia presented here uses both direct and indirect lines of evidence. Female autoandrophilia is directly evidenced by cross-gender eroticism such as sexual arousal from dressing as male or imagining oneself as male. Qualitative evidence of cross-gender eroticism is found in firsthand narratives which depict female sexual interest in being male or masculine. Quantitative evidence of cross-gender eroticism is found in paraphilia prevalence surveys which reliably find that some females endorse measures of cross-gender eroticism. Indirect evidence for female autoandrophilia is found in the broader observation that some females report rarer forms of trans identity (e.g., animal identity) and eroticism consistent with internalized sexuality (e.g., sexual fantasies of being an animal), and that transgender identity arises among them at elevated rates. A simple, straightforward explanation for these various observations is that females can have internalized sexualities such as autoandrophilia which lead to corresponding forms of trans identity. Female autoandrophilia and male autogynephilia appear to be analogous forms of internalized heterosexuality-a type of sexuality which can collectively be described as autoheterosexuality (attraction to oneself as the other sex).
越来越多的研究表明，男性可能存在内化的性取向，如自体恋物癖（对自己作为女性的想法或形象产生性吸引力），这会导致跨性别身份的形成。在此，我提出证据表明，女性也可能有类似的内化性取向，如自雄恋物癖（对自己作为男性的想法或形象产生性吸引力），同样会导致跨性别身份的形成。这里所呈现的女性自雄恋物癖的案例使用了直接和间接的证据线索。女性自雄恋物癖的直接证据是跨性别色情癖，比如因穿着男性服装或想象自己为男性而产生性唤起。跨性别色情癖的定性证据见于第一手叙述中，这些叙述描绘了女性对成为男性或具有男性气质的性兴趣。跨性别色情癖的定量证据见于性偏好障碍患病率调查，该调查可靠地发现一些女性认可跨性别色情癖的测量指标。女性自雄恋物癖的间接证据见于更广泛的观察结果，即一些女性报告了较为罕见的跨性别身份形式（如动物身份）以及与内化性取向相符的色情癖（如作为动物的性幻想），并且她们中跨性别身份的出现率较高。对这些各种观察结果的一个简单、直接的解释是，女性可能存在内化的性取向，如自雄恋物癖，这会导致相应形式的跨性别身份。女性自雄恋物癖和男性自体恋物癖似乎是内化异性恋的类似形式——一种可以统称为自异性恋（对自己作为另一性别的吸引力）的性取向。
