Peter Collins on transsexualism |
|
Peter Ian Collins (born 1955) is a Canadian forensic psychiatrist. He works at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), a Toronto mental institution charged with serving gender-variant clients in the area. It has become widely known as one of the most notorious facilities in the world in terms of controlling access to medical services.
With Ray Blanchard, Collins coined the term “gynandromorphophilia” to describe attraction to transgnder people (specifically to trans women who have not had vaginoplasty). He is one of the few people who has ever used the term “she-male” in an academic paper to describe trans women as a demographic group.
Psychiatrist Vernon Rosario has called labels like these “scientifically reifying” when applied to trans women and their admirers.
