The nature of the relationships of 29 male homosexuals, 34 male transvestites and 29 male transsexuals with their parents, during childhood, was assessed on the basis of the subjects' reports, and on their responses to two tests, namely the Childhood Family Relationship test and a Semantic Differential. If the subjects' reports are valid significantly more mothers of transvestite and transsexual subjects hoped for a girl prior to the subject's birth. During childhood there was a trend for homosexual, transvestite and transsexual subjects to report that their fathers lacked interest in them or were absent from home. There was little evidence to support the view that homosexual, transvestite or transsexual subjects had pathological relationships with their mother. Intrafamilial childhood environmental factors reported by homosexuals, transvestites and transsexuals appear to be non-specific.
根据29名男同性恋者、34名男异装癖者和29名男变性者的自述以及他们对两项测试（即童年家庭关系测试和语义分化测试）的回答，评估了他们在童年时期与父母的关系性质。如果受试者的报告有效，那么异装癖者和变性者的母亲在孩子出生前更希望生女孩。在童年时期，同性恋者、异装癖者和变性者都倾向于表示他们的父亲对自己缺乏兴趣或不在家。几乎没有证据支持同性恋者、异装癖者或变性者与母亲存在病态关系这一观点。同性恋者、异装癖者和变性者所报告的家庭内部童年环境因素似乎并无特异性。
