Harry benjamin transsexual
Harry Benjamin January 12, — August 24, was a German-American endocrinologist and sexologist , widely known for his clinical work with transsexualism. In , in San Francisco, Benjamin was asked by Alfred Kinsey , a fellow sexologist, to see a child who "wanted to become a girl" despite being born male; the mother wished for help that would assist rather than thwart the child. Kinsey had encountered the child as a result of his interviews for Sexual Behavior in the Human Male , which was published that year. Kinsey and Benjamin had seen nothing of the like previously. This child rapidly led Benjamin to understand that there was a different condition to that of transvestism, under which adults who had such needs had been classified to that time.

Benjamin scale - Wikipedia
As society evolved toward the modern age that we know now, trans expression did not disappear, but did become far more subversive. It can't be certain if everyone participating in these uprisings were truly transgender in any way or simply relied on crossdressing as a convenient disguise, but the consistency still suggests early peasant-held matriarchal and trans-reverent customs. Some, such as the White Boys of Ireland, also make the claim to be faeries, leading one to wonder if early stories of fee might also indicate early transgressive beliefs and traditions. We come to a point where things can be put into much more of a chronological order:. The name itself seems to originate as a combination of the female name Mary with the Latin "mollis," meaning soft, effeminate.

The Sex Orientation Scale SOS was Harry Benjamin 's attempt to classify and understand various forms and subtypes of transvestism and transsexualism in biological males, published in However the Benjamin scale does not reflect a modern understanding of gender identity [ citation needed ] and is not useful as a contemporary diagnostic tool [ citation needed ] , especially due to its conflation of gender identity with sexual orientation. Benjamin noted, "It must be emphasized again that the remaining six types are not and never can be sharply separated. 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. Benjamin's Scale references and uses Alfred Kinsey's sexual orientation scale to distinguish between "true transsexualism" and "transvestism".

Much like Kinsey's understanding of sexual orientation, Dr. Benjamin understood the nature of gender identity and gender expression not as a discrete scale, but as a spectrum, a continuum with many variations, much more than those featured in the scale. Benjamin noted, "It must be emphasized again that the remaining six types are not and never can be sharply separated. 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.
