An analysis of postoperative data obtained from 42 male-to-female transsexuals showed them to fall into three distinct categories: homosexual transsexuals, asexual transsexuals, and heterosexual transsexuals. Additonal data covering the areas of gender vs. sexual dysphoria, surgical details, background characteristics, sexuality-related behaviors, and postoperative adaptation further differentiated these groups and suggest that the categorization is theoretically meaningful and relevant to understanding the causes and course of the transsexual phenomenon. An extensive developmental theory is suggested to account for both differences and commonalities among the different subgroups of transsexuals, as well as among these and related groups, such as effeminate homosexuality and transvestism. The theory is sufficiently specific for making empirical predictions.
一项对42名男变女变性者术后数据的分析显示，他们可分为三个不同类别：同性恋变性者、无性恋变性者和异性恋变性者。涵盖性别与性焦虑、手术细节、背景特征、性相关行为及术后适应等方面的更多数据进一步区分了这些群体，并表明这种分类在理论上是有意义的，且与理解变性现象的成因和过程相关。有人提出了一种广泛的发展理论，以解释变性者不同亚组之间以及这些亚组与相关群体（如女性化同性恋和异装癖）之间的差异和共性。该理论足够具体，可用于进行实证预测。
