Kelley Winters has released “Autogynephilia: The Infallible Derogatory Hypothesis, Part 2.”
The term “autogynephilia” and its corollary “homosexual transsexualism” mean far more than descriptions of erotic phenomena. They have come to represent an over-arching body of derogatory stereotypes that are promoted as science but remain dogmatically resilient to contrary evidence. “Autogynephilia” in particular represents an affront to the human legitimacy and dignity of many transitioned women. It serves no constructive purpose in an evidence-based diagnostic nosology. I strongly urge the American Psychiatric Association to remove this offensive term from the supporting text of the GID diagnosis and refrain from adding it to the nomenclature of paraphilias in the DSM-V.
