Classification of transsexual people
The classification of transsexual people and people with other gender atypicalities has been done since the mid-1960s. In medicine and psychiatry, terms such as "heterosexual" and "homosexual" have been based on a person's sex assignment at birth, which has prompted the increased use of androphilia and gynephilia to avoid terminological confusion. In social and political contexts classification is often relative to one's desired sex.
==Sex Orientation Scale (1966) ==
Harry Benjamin created the Sex Orientation Scale (SOS) to classify and understand various forms and subtypes of transvestism and transsexualism in biological males.〔Benjamin, H. (1966). ''The Transsexual Phenomenon.'' New York: The Julian Press, page 22.〕 It was a seven-point scale with three types of transvestism, three types of transsexualism, and one category for typical males. Benjamin's Scale references and uses the Kinsey scale in distinguishing between "true transsexualism" and "transvestism".
Benjamin noted, "It must be emphasized again that the remaining six types are not and never can be sharply separated."〔 Benjamin added a caveat: "It has been the intention here to point out the possibility of several conceptions and classifications of the transvestitic and the transsexual phenomenon. Future studies and observations may decide which one is likely to come closest to the truth and in this way a possible understanding of the etiology may be gained."〔
