In her report, Dreger also asserted that Bailey's transsexual opponents tried to discredit him because they disagreed with his basic findings.
Bailey's book states that male-to-female transsexuals fall into one of two categories: "homosexual transsexuals," naturally feminine men attracted to men, or "autogynephilic transsexuals," men who are aroused by the fantasy of having a woman's body. Bailey rejects the belief that self-identified transwomen are simply "women trapped in men's bodies."
