Cited in paper on “paraphilia”

Thanks to Stephanie Hsu of Pace University for citing my work in a criticism of the DSM-V that appeared in the Journal of Medical Humanities!

β€œ’Autogynephilia’ is a sex-fueled mental illness made up by Ray Blanchard,” trans activist Andrea James has declared (2004), but Blanchard’s own best defense has been that β€œthe study of autogynephilia is, more than anything else, the study of what people say about their experiences (2005).
