“Autogynephilic transsexuals are not "women in men's bodies" (Anne Lawrence, a physician and sex researcher who is herself a postoperative transsexual, has called them "men trapped in men's bodies").”

“In order for a feminine boy to become transsexual, something extra must happen. What is the something extra?”

“The current popular literature about transsexualism is noteworthy for its ignorance of the distinction between autogynephilic and homosexual transsexuals.”

“Once you've learned about autogynephilic and homosexual transsexuals and seen several of each, distinguishing them is easy.”

“The two types of transsexuals who begin life as males are called homosexual and autogynephilic ... homosexual transsexuals are extremely feminine gay men, and autogynephilic transsexuals are men erotically obsessed with the image of themselves as women.”

“Homosexuality might be the most striking unresolved paradox of human evolution.”
