- Homosexual_transsexual_(term) abstract "Homosexual transsexual is a term that has been used by some sexologists, psychologists and psychiatrists to describe transwomen who are attracted to men, and less often transmen who are attracted to women. The terms androphilia and gynephilia are replacing those terms in active use. The concept of categorizing transsexuals by sexual orientation originated with Magnus Hirschfeld in 1923. The specific term homosexual transsexual was defined by Kurt Freund in 1973, and used as part of a two-type taxonomy by him in 1982. Even though homosexuality itself was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2nd edition (DSM II) as a mental disorder diagnosis. In the DSM III, transsexualism was to be diagnosed and the sexual orientation of a transsexual specified using the terms homosexual, heterosexual, asexual, or unspecified. This concept arose because early investigators thought the main difference between a male transvestite and a male-to-female transsexual was same-sex attraction. The term or concept has since been used in articles by Harry Benjamin, Kurt Freund, Ray Blanchard, and others. More modern alternatives recognize that gender identity, not sexuality, define a transsexual, while still differentiating between androphilic and gynephilic research subjects.The term homosexual transsexual has been criticized from within sexology by Benjamin, Bruce Bagemihl, and John Bancroft as being confusing, as well as being insensitive to the gender identities of those whom it is meant to describe. The alternatives androphilic and gynephilic have been proposed by Milton Diamond as descriptors for sexual orientation that do not assume anything about the sex or gender identity of the person being described. Terms such as androphilia and gynephilia are used instead of, or concurrently with, homosexual, heterosexual or non-homosexual in current research such as any research which has used the "modified androphilia scale" to asses the attraction to men of a given transsexual. SJ Whang said in 2004 that the term homosexual transsexual is archaic. The term transsexuality was removed as a mental disorder from the DSM-IV. Gender identity disorder replaced transsexuality as a diagnostic term; however, attraction to males, females both or neither is still specified in the DSM IV-TR.Most research has been conducted on male-to-female homosexual transsexuals. They are usually socio-economically disadvantaged, born later in a series of brothers, are unlikely to display cross-gender fetishism or autogynephilia, and come out at a younger age than non-homosexual transsexuals. Relatively little research has been done on gender variance in biological females, and the prevalence of female-to-male gender identity disorder (GID) is less than that of male-to-female GID.[citation needed]".
