Same as a female doing the same thing. A female can not get another female pregnant even if she had a penis stitch between her legs. I kind of doubt she could ever get a hard on unless she had an air pump or something to get an erection.

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."

Quote:Abstract:
We investigated differences in corpus callosum shape at the midsagittal plane using MRI for different subjects: normal males, normal females, and subjects with gender identity disorder (GID). We first represented callosal shapes with Fourier descriptors of callosal contours. Using linear support vector machines with soft-margin, we next determined a hyperplane that separates normal males and females most optimally in the vector space spanned by Fourier descriptors. We then proposed a measure that has prominent sex difference: it is defined as the coordinate of a given callosal shape on the subspace orthogonal to the obtained hyperplane. Use of the measure provides discrimination of someone's sex with 74.17% accuracy. We further showed that the value of the measure for GID more strongly reflects their mental sex, i.e. gender, than their physical sex

Like I said, his feminization doesn't bother me at all, but if he goes through the whole transition process, I think it's going to be very complicated for him to find a soul mate for a life together.

My wife is tall and square-shouldered, but her body is naturally designed to be feminine. I can't imagine his transformation being successful, at least on the surface, and it won't help him socially.

NO, I'm not closed off / NO, I'm not transphobic! While I think some transformations can make sense for some people, I don't think all bodies lend themselves to transformation.

- There's nothing feminine about the size of his arms and shoulders (if he slaps me, I'll be knocked out).
- There is nothing feminine in her face (today).
- Everything in his body is masculine (I saw it at the swimming pool).
