"Non-homosexual" Versus "homosexual" Transsexual People
In Blanchard's taxonomy, non-homosexual biological males (Kinsey Scale 0-4) with gender identity disorder exhibit autogynephilia and are either attracted to women, both women and men, or are asexual. Homosexual transsexual people are attracted exclusively to men and do not exhibit autogynephilia.
Support for the theory comes from a wide range of demographic and psychological aspects of the subjects studied Blanchard's practice in the 1980s. Criticism of the theory is generally focused in two categories: the use of the terms "homosexual" and "non-homosexual" to refer to transsexual people by their sex-of-birth, and the data underlying the theory itself.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“How people used to meet!
starved, intense, the old
Christmas gifts saved up till spring,
and the old plain words,”
