Men Trapped in Men's Bodies (Focus on Sexuality Research)

By: Anne A. Lawrence

3.54

Format: 256 pages, Hardcover

There are few topics in sex research as compelling and confounding to researchers, clinicians, and …

"First, we autogynephilic transsexuals often observe that autogynephilia seems to exert its motive force indirectly, by giving rise to our strongly held, highly valued cross-gender identities. Second, our lives often do feel as though they lack vitality and purpose if we fail to express our cross-gender identities. Finally, we often pay a heavy price for expressing our cross-gender identities, because we are not naturally feminine and because the female personas we create sometimes appear unusual or inauthentic—to ourselves as well as to others."

-Anne A. Lawrence, Men Trapped in Men's Bodies (Focus on Sexuality Research)

"Autogynephilia has long been conceptualized as a sexual orientation...but its advocates, myself among them, have not sufficiently emphasized this point. We should arguably use every opportunity to do so. Autogynephilia, we should explain, is another variety of sexual orientation: It is an unusual variant form of heterosexuality. Like other sexual orientations, it is something we autogynephilic transsexuals did not choose and something we cannot change. It certainly determines what we lust after, but it also determines what we love and want to unite with. And we autogynephilic transsexuals understandably feel strong pressure to express and act on our autogynephilic sexual orientations."
