Let me put it this way: Being able to distinguish groups is not enough. The core of the theory is that these people have a fundamentally different underlying reason for feeling female.
I'll keep this study in mind, but without more context it doesn't seem to show a difference like that on 90% of the parameters. With more numbers maybe it would... but I don't have them.
I picked those questions because they showed some of the strongest statistical results. But they also have a very obvious alternate explanation that needs to be tested.
Especially because:
"Transsexual participants were categorized as autogynephilic
or non-autogynephilic based on their scores on the Core
Autogynephilia, Autogynephilic Interpersonal Fantasy,
Attraction to Feminine Males, and Attraction to Transgender
Fiction scales."
This desperately needs a comparison where they apply the same technique to the biological female data.
(Though that the last one is really tricky, because maybe a better analogy is "waking up as a woman, as usual, hooray" fiction and that's far too bland and common to be a genre.)
> It reproduced the results of the academic study despite the creator of the amateur survey having no knowledge of it. That's some pretty convincing evidence in my book.
Convincing of some overall trends. But the theory is much more than that.
> Also, do you have any studies that show that the majority of cis women would be considered autogynephilic?
No, I haven't spent that much time on this subject before to the point of digging up studies.

What? But you said this earlier:
> You can apply all the "autogynephilia" testing and logic to most cis women and they'll come out with a strong diagnosis.
Why did you state that as fact when you had no clue what the academic consensus was? If you’re going to make such assertions, you need to base them on evidence.
God forbid I use wikipedia once in my life. Is that the only part you want to reply to, not the substantive parts?
Let's just use the main study you linked to. It shows biological females scoring 5.07 out of 9 on "core autogynephilia", with a standard deviation of 3.5.
