It was both interesting and uncomfortable to listen to this discussion with Professor Bailey. There is one point that I felt deserves some pushback. He, “ in his gut”, felt that both types of transgender men, the autogynophylic and the homosexual were innate--born that way. For in his words, how would a young prepubescent boy learn that by putting on a dress he could be sexually aroused? Well, I believe Professor Bailey has a big blindspot. I would think, behavioral psychologist understand how much we learn nonverbally from infancy on, if not actually also in the womb. I certainly would question this “gut” believe. I have to say, I could not listen to the extra session. Too much revulsion for such twisted sexual identities.
