The Importance of Researching Transgender People

Jampon Luke's Ph.D. thesis is on transgender people and sexual arousal. She talks about how her supervisor had no knowledge of autocyanophilia, the idea that trans women are sexually attracted to being a woman or having a vagina. Jampon says she was angry with him when he gave her his book The Man Who Would Be Queen by Michael Bailey because he thought I was an early stage trans woman. "It kind of points to how those awful ideas propagate in the scientific community"
