I just can't peg him with a GID label. Rather, I think the man has a narcissistic personality disorder. His obsession with women has led him to think, in my opinion, that he can be a better woman than they can.

While I needn't preface this: Neither of us are psychologists, but I think you may be onto something regarding that. It sort of reminds me of novelists who tell their stories from the perspective of the opposite gender, but do a very poor job because of the obvious lack of required knowledge.

Just as an addendum: I don't agree with the label of transgender in general, it just, as pointed out, sounds better. The gay, transgender position of psychology is the only part that I really, really abhor.

I've never seen a therapy that seeks, instead of reversing the ailment, to enable it. Doctors and therapists alike never prescribe knives to better cut yourself, so it bothers me that they encourage living as the opposite gender in spite of obvious biological inhibitors.

The psychological research into gay and transgendered studies is too afraid to offend people rather than say what's physiologically objective.
