abstract
  • Homosexual transsexual is a controversial term used by some psychologists and sexologists to describe male-to-female transsexual women who are exclusively or predominantly attracted to males. It is less frequently used by proponents to describe female-to-male transsexual men who are exclusively attracted to females. Proponents of the term define this category based on testing or self-report, noting that self-report is not always reliable. Previous taxonomies used the terms "classic transsexual" or "true transsexual," terms once used in differential diagnoses. Proponents have stated that many "non-homosexual" transsexuals systematically distort their life stories because "non-homosexuals" were often screened out as candidates for surgery and because some see "homosexual transsexual" as a more socially desirable diagnosis. Key characteristics include conspicuous cross-gender behavior from childhood through adulthood, and a "homosexual" sexual orientation. The term is also part of a two-type taxonomy in which non-homosexual transsexual women have a condition called autogynephilia and are aroused by the idea or image of themselves as women. Leavitt, who has used the term in a paper notes,"Transsexuals, as a group, vehemently oppose the label and its pejorative baggage." Critics claim the term "homosexual transsexual" is "heterosexist," "archaic," and demeaning because it labels people by sex assigned at birth instead of their gender identity.
