If transsexuals fall into two distinct groups why are they consistently portrayed as a homogenous group?
In part this is because of the way the medical establishment has treated transsexuals historically and in part because of the way agp transsexuals have reacted to and engineered the social model of m2f transsexuality. The answer to this question requires understanding the social interpretation of transsexuality in terms of class dynamics and an understanding of the relative social positions of HS and AGP transsexuals. The understanding of transsexuality in western culture has been formed from the interactions between autogynephilic transsexuals and the psychiatric establishments accomodations to their needs: a socially mediated process. This social process has resulted in the erasure of any real understanding of homosexual transsexuals and the colonization of our cultural identity by autogynephilic transsexuals.
