It was hypothesized that male transsexuals manifest a character structure consistent with Kernberg's criteria for borderline personality organization. Exploring this hypothesis, Kernberg's criteria for borderline personality organization were operationalized using Rorschach measures. The following variables were examined: aggression (Holt System Aggressive Content Section), object relations (Urist's Mutuality of Autonomy Scale), reality testing (Exner System X + %), and self/object differentiation (Exner System Special Scorings). A group of male college students, a group of male borderlines, and a group of male transsexuals were compared on the above variables. Compared to the normals, the transsexuals and borderlines displayed significantly more intense levels of aggression, a lower level of object relations, poorer reality testing, and impaired boundary differentiation. The transsexuals and borderlines did not differ significantly. The results were taken as suggesting that male gender dysphorics may be a sub-group of the wider borderline diagnostic category.
研究假设为，男性易性癖者表现出一种与克恩伯格关于边缘型人格组织的标准相一致的性格结构。为探究这一假设，使用罗夏测验对克恩伯格的边缘型人格组织标准进行了操作化。研究考察了以下变量：攻击性（霍尔特系统攻击性内容部分）、客体关系（乌里斯自主性相互性量表）、现实检验（埃克纳系统X + %）以及自我/客体分化（埃克纳系统特殊计分）。对一组男性大学生、一组男性边缘型人格障碍患者和一组男性易性癖者在上述变量上进行了比较。与正常组相比，易性癖者和边缘型人格障碍患者表现出明显更强的攻击性水平、更低的客体关系水平、更差的现实检验能力以及受损的边界分化。易性癖者和边缘型人格障碍患者之间没有显著差异。研究结果表明，男性性别焦虑者可能是更广泛的边缘型诊断类别中的一个亚组。
