Title: A Further Assessment of Blanchard's Typology of Homosexual Versus Non-Homosexual or Autogynephilic Gender Dysphoria
Author Larry Nuttbrock ... [et al.].
Impressum Archives of Sexual Behavior, 40 (2011) 2 (april), p. 247-257.
Summary In a series of important but now highly controversial articles, Blanchard examined associations of sexual orientation and transvestic fetishism among male-to-female (MTF) transgender persons in Toronto, Canada. Transvestic fetishism was rare among the homosexuals but prevalent among the non-homosexuals. Subtypes of non-homosexual MTFs (heterosexual, bisexual, and asexual) were consistently high with regard to transvestic fetishism. Non-linear associations of a continuous measurement of sexual attraction to women (gynephilia) and transvestic fetishism were interpreted in terms of an etiological hypothesis in which transvestic fetishism interferes with the early development of heterosexuality. Blanchard concluded that homosexual versus non-homosexual sexual orientation is a dominant and etiologically significant axis for evaluating and understanding this population. We further assessed these findings among 571 MTFs from the New York City metropolitan area. Using the Life Chart Interview, multiple measurements of transvestic fetishism were obtained and classified as lifetime, lifecourse persistent, adolescent limited, and adult onset. Large (but not deterministic) differences in lifetime, lifecourse persistent, and adolescent limited transvestic fetishism were found between the homosexuals and non-homosexuals. Contrary to Blanchard, differences in transvestic fetishism were observed across subtypes of the non-homosexuals, and linear (not curvilinear) associations were found along a continuous measurement of gynephilia and transvestic fetishism. Age and ethnicity, in addition to sexual orientation, were found to be statistically significant predictors of transvestic fetishism. The clinical, etiological, and sociopolitical implications of these findings are discussed.

Summary Wetenschappelijk magazine. Wat maakt hersenen mannelijk of vrouwelijk? En hoe was dat in het verleden? Labyrint zoekt het uit in De zoektocht naar de ware sekse. Iedereen is man of vrouw. Of zijn er een heleboel tussenvormen? Nederland geldt wereldwijd als pionier op het gebied van onderzoek naar genderdysforie en Labyrint probeert de zaken op een rijtje te zetten. Tegenwoordig richten onderzoekers hun aandacht op het brein om te achterhalen of iemand man of vrouw is. Vroeger zochten onderzoekers de ware sekse in onze hormonen, geslachtsklieren of chromosomen. Eén optie lijken wetenschappers zelden te overwegen: dat onze sekse geen scherpe tweedeling is, maar een breed spectrum aan mogelijkheden. Want hoe komt het eigenlijk dat onderzoekers de ware sekse nog niet hebben gevonden? Hebben ze nog niet goed genoeg gezocht, of komt dat omdat de ware sekse simpelweg niet bestaat?

Title: Gender Disorder as Gender Oppression : A Transfeminist Approach to Rethinking the Pathologization of Gender Non-Conformity
Author Shannon L. Sennott.
Impressum Women and Therapy, 34 (2011) 1/2 (jan-jun), p. 93-113.
Summary The existence of Gender Identity Disorder (GID) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) represents a highly controversial issue. This paper examines recent arguments that champion retaining GID in the DSM due to its perceived advantages and arguments that call for the removal of GID. By connecting these contentions with historical ideologies held by liberal feminist theorists and gender activists, I assert a more just model for treatment designated the Transfeminist Approach. To aid therapists in this approach I offer the Transfeminist Qualitative Assessment Tool, the Allyship Practice Model, and an identity continuums graph.

Summary This study brings to light what is both patently obvious and far too often dismissed from the human rights agenda. Transgender and gender non-conforming people face injustice at every turn: in childhood homes, in school systems that promise to shelter and educate, in harsh and exclusionary workplaces, at the grocery store, the hotel front desk, in doctors' offices and emergency rooms, before judges and at the hands of landlords, police officers, health care workers and other service providers. In this study the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality reached 6,450 transgender and gender non-conforming study participants who took the time and energy to answer questions about the depth and breadth of injustice in their lives. A diverse set of people, from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, completed online or paper surveys. This has created the first 360-degree picture of discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people in the USA and provides critical data points for policymakers, community activists and legal advocates to confront the appalling realities documented here and press the case for equity and justice. The data collected brings into clear focus the pervasiveness and overwhelming collective weight of discrimination that transgender and gender non-conforming people endure.

Summary Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the first known act of collective, violent resistance to the social oppression of queer people in the United States - a 1966 riot in San Francisco's impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, three years before the famous gay riot at New York's Stonewall Inn. Screaming Queens introduces viewers to street queens, cops and activist civil rights ministers who recall the riot and paint a vivid portrait of the wild transgender scene in 1960s San Francisco. Integrating the riot's story into the broader fabric of American life, the documentary connects the event to urban renewal, anti-war activism, civil rights and sexual liberation. With enticing archival footage and period music, this unknown story is dramatically brought back to life.

Summary The sex and gender diversity project of the Australian Human Rights Commission (the Commission) focuses on the legal recognition of sex in documents and government records. This project has its origins in the 2006-07 National Inquiry into Discrimination against People in Same-Sex Relationships: Financial and Work-Related Entitlements and Benefits (Same-Sex: Same Entitlements Inquiry). During the Same-Sex: Same Entitlements Inquiry, the Commission received submissions from members of the sex and gender diverse community about the discrimination they experienced. One of the key concerns was that many people who are sex and gender diverse are not able to change the sex markers in official documents or government records. The Same-Sex: Same Entitlements Inquiry was not able to address these concerns as they were beyond the InquiryŽs terms of reference. The Commission adresses the problems of intersex and the intersexual condition, but not for legal recognition.

Title: Stigma and HIV risk among Metis in Nepal
Author Erin Wilson ... [et al.].
Impressum Culture, Health and Sexuality, 13 (2011) 3 (mar), p. 253-266.
Summary Similar to other parts of Asia, the HIV epidemic in Nepal is concentrated among a small number of groups, including transgender people, or Metis. This study was conducted to explore the social context of stigma among Metis in Nepal to better understand their risk for HIV. Fourteen in-depth interviews were conducted with Metis in Kathmandu, Nepal. We found that stigma from families leading to rural-urban migration exposed Metis to discrimination from law enforcement, employers and sexual partners, which influenced their risk for HIV. Specific HIV-related risks identified were rape by law enforcement officers, inconsistent condom use and high reported numbers of sexual partners. These data point to an immediate need to work with law enforcement to reduce violence targeting Metis. HIV prevention, housing and employment outreach to Metis in rural areas and those who migrate to urban areas is also needed. Finally, there is a need for more research to determine the prevalence of HIV among Metis, to explore risk within sexual networks and to better understand of the relationship between Metis and their families in order to develop future programmes and interventions.

Title: Views from both sides of the bridge? : Gender, sexual legitimacy and transgender people's experiences of relationships
Author Alex Iantaffi, Walter O. Bockting.
Impressum Culture, Health and Sexuality, 13 (2011) 3 (mar), p. 355-370.
Summary The aim of this paper is to examine whether transgender people's experiences of relationships are influenced by heteronormativity, the related concept of sexual legitimacy, and gender as a binary construct. Data from an Internet-based study of transgender people in the USA was used. Findings seem to indicate that participants were strongly influenced by heteronormative discourses. However, less rigid gender beliefs are associated with lower levels of internalised transphobia, which, in turn, are associated with higher levels of self-esteem. Transgender people can therefore find themselves in a double-bind where, on one hand, conforming to gender and sexual norms leads to validation by mainstream US society, but could possibly entail diminished psychological well-being.
