I do not think that rad gems think gay men are autogynephiles; many may believe trans women do.

Isn't there a line in the film that says he was not a true pre-op trans, he just thought he was? They probably threw that in there so there wouldn't be protests.
Brian De Palma ("Dressed To Kill") was unencumbered with political correctness.

I don't remember if it is spelled out in the film, but the book makes it clear that Buffalo Bill believed himself to be transsexual, but that the doctors that he went to believed that he wasn't, and denied him sex change surgery. Of course, by today's rule, his belief that he is trans would make him trans. Unless, of course, the trans community wanted to distance themselves from his atrocities, in which case they might declare him "not truly trans." Or, they might blame cis-gay meant for driving him over the edge by not respecting his identity.
The "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me." scene in the movie makes a pretty strong case for autogynophilia in the movie version of Buffalo Bill.

This past weekend, my best friend showed me this (normally, I would have nothing whatsoever to do with Twitter or TikTok, but this is funnier than fuck):

r5 It is in the movie too. Lecter tells Clarice that Bill isn't really trans but just hates himself and wants to change.
He says that is how she will catch him. Look for rejects from the 3 main trans hospitals.

r1 is a liar. Everyone thinks that MtF are 90% likely to be autogynephiles.
Gay men are very much separate and different from MtF, in so many ways, and the lack of autogynephilia among gay men is merely one of those ways.

Could you please help me move my couch? I can't get it in the van by myself. If you don't mind, you go in, your side first.

Scary, scary movie.
