Yes, that was my first thought, actually.
I think there are several important differences between the labels "crossdreaming" and "autogynephilia". The problem with the label "autogynephilia" is that it does not merely refer to "a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female", because it's strongly associated with Blanchard's two-type theory, and all its assumptions and implications (some of which are pathologizing and transphobic). That's the reason why I think it's better to label that propensity with Molay's term ("crossdreaming") or Serano's term ("embodiment fantasies"), which are more neutral terms that don't imply the acceptance of Blanchard's framework.
This is Jack Molay's definition of "crossdreamer" in A Creative Crossdreamer Vocabulary:
"Term made by me to describe the act of dreaming about being ones target sex or getting aroused by the idea of being ones target sex. Crossdreamer is a subcategory under the wider umbrella term "transgender", which denotes a wide spectrum of gender variance, including crossdressers, drag queens, gender queer, and transsexuals. Some crossdreamers identify with their birth sex, others with their target sex (i.e. the sex they dream of being). Some crossdreamers crossdress, others do not. Crossdreamers may be assigned male or female at birth. Their sexual orientation varies. There is no clear and distinct boundary between crossdreamers and other transgender people. As trans activists Julia Serano has pointed out in her book Whipping Girl, many trans women started out as crossdressers and crossdreamers, because these were ways of expressing their sense of self. By the way, Serano has suggested the term female/feminine (or male/masculine) embodiment fantasies to describe much of the same thing."

Not sure where to post this.

In the 'normal' pages like https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-cond...t-20459075
they talk only about the physical effects.
I was more interested in the mental effects, like girls during puberty are extremely difficult to deal with. Unfortunately it seems that very little is known about that, and even there research concentrates on the physical development of the brain, rather than the behaviour.

I bought one of these in green.
Very good value and quality.
I got a 5x. It fits snug but I do have a full range of motion.
Me= 225lbs, 5’ 11”, 42” waist and 46 Bust.
The one you showed is not that great. I have a black one and for me, not worth my time or the money.
