(1) Gynandromorphophilia is a distinct erotic interest, not necessarily associated with homosexual or transgender behaviours. See Blanchard, R. and Collins, P.I. J.Nerv.Ment.Dis. 181:570-575, 1993. I happened to be present when Dr. Blanchard presented this paper at the Harry Bejamin International Symposium on Gender Dysphoria in New York.

(2) Men who are interested in shemales identify overwhelmingly as heterosexual. Even men who are erotically aroused by themselves in a female presentation, known as "autogynephilia", do not identify as homosexual. As Dr. Blanchard reports in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. Vol 101(2) May 1992, 271-276, "This finding supports the hypothesis that autogynephilia is a misdirected type of heterosexual impulse, which arises in association with normal heterosexuality but also competes with it."

(3) Fetishistic arousal (as with shemale pornography) is strongly associated with non-homosexual types of cross-gender behaviour. See Blanchard, Ray:Archives of Sexual Behavior. Vol 14(3) Jun 1985, 247-261. These references and many others support the following tenets of male sexuality, which are empirically observed by those in the field:

(4) Homosexual men are not generally attracted to any form of female sexual presentation.

(5) Sexual fantasies and the use of pornography do not necessarily have any bearing upon personal behaviour or real world sexual preferences.

(6) An overwhelming majority of men who express an interest in, or sexual arousal by, shemale erotica would identify unequivocally as heterosexual.
