New Scientist
http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2008/10/removing-the-phantom-penis.html has an item up about 'phantom penis' syndrome, an analogue to 'phantom limb' syndrome in amputees. I take no position on the
syndrome, though I will say that it would seem reasonable that something like this might exist. The article was rather straightforward (in spite of a title that could be read as trans-dismissive: "A Phantom Penis, And How to Remove it.")
But then came the Blanchard/Bailey-worshipping.
Kay Brown speaketh:
[M]ost "transexuals" are not "female brained", they are autogynophilic, sexually aroused by the internalized image of themselves as female, but otherwise quite masculine in behavior, and thus neural organization. Only the rarer, "homosexual transsexuals" (originally called "true" or "primary" transsexual) may have feminized brains. See Blanchard's work on the subject, or
http://www.transkids.us The relative incidence of the two different etiologies leading to transsexuality is probably 4:1 in numerical favor of the autogynophilic vs. homosexual transexual.
