Autogynephilic males are men, or at least males, who suffer from a narcissistic, auto-erotic paraphilia that causes them to be obsessed with their appearance – but as women.
Autogynephilic males are invariably heterosexual, in fact we might say 'hyper-heterosexual;' they are so consumed with lust for the feminine body that they turn themselves into pseudo-women. I have discussed this in great detail on this website and on my YouTube Channel.
I have no wish to demonise Autogynephilic males and indeed offer a counselling service to help them to fight it. But the first step for any male who is confronted by Autogynephilia, is to recognise that he does in fact have a paraphilia. Now in many cases this can be managed and I have discussed a number of ways that this might be done. Right at the beginning, however, the subject must understand that not only is he not female, he is also not a woman.
This, sadly, is the hurdle that many cannot surpass. This is particularly the case in the Anglophone West although less so elsewhere. There are plenty of Autogynephilic males in southeast Asia for example, contrary to a view amongst those who have never lived there. But they have certain characteristics that distinguish them from the Western model that we are perhaps more familiar with.

Yours truly with an Autogynephilic ladyboy in the Philippines. There is no doubt of her beauty, indeed she was both a successful pageant queen and a cabaret dancer. She's the one on the right, for the smart-alecs.
Characteristics of Asian Autogynephilic males
The first of these is that they usually appear much younger and are far less covert than the form commonly found in the West. However, there is a little-understood group called silahis (the blade that cuts both ways) who do appear to be more like the Western model. These are intensely secretive and we have very little information about them. However they are usually married and live in deep stealth. Their numbers are unknown.
Silahis is often translated as 'bisexual' but it is much more likely that they are pseudo-bisexual, non-transvestic Autogynephilic males.
Returning to the more common form, Autogynephilic males in Asia tend to 'come out' between the ages of sixteen and twenty, although some may have lived as 'gays' previously. Despite this, these are never natural homosexuals or Sexual Inverts. These latter generally present around the age of five.
The culture of Beauty
The culture of beauty is massively important in southeast Asia and this encourages these Autogynephilic males to be public. They may compete in the ubiquitous 'Miss Gay' beauty contests and are often winners. In the Philippines, every town and indeed, every barangay has these and they are popular not just with the performers – often called beauconeras – but also with the audiences, including men who are quite happy to ogle the flesh, despite it not being actually female.
(This is not a new thing; the late, great Sir Richard Burton, explorer extraordinaire of many places, including what were effectively transgender cat-houses, expressed the view that there were some things about the male body that were more beautiful than the female -- and there was nothing 'gay' about Ruffian Dick.)
Kabaklaan is the male performance of beauty. And they start young.
Flesh need not actually be female to quicken the pulse of randy men. The successful performance of beauty -- and sexual allure -- is quite enough to get them hot, despite anything they may say.
These Autogynephilic males will begin hormone therapy, usually contraceptive pills, around sixteen. A few years later they may be truly stunning. Having said that, this is a process of self-selection: an Autogynephilic male who doesn't think he can 'make the grade' in the beauty stakes, is unlikely to transition at all.
Beauty is very much a performance for these girls. And they do it well. There is a crossover with 'cosplay' in that this is role-play, even if it is taken very seriously indeed.
Transition -- not what you think
