In Transsexualism in Society Dr Lewins challenges medical and feminist models of transsexualism as well as current thinking about gender and sexuality. Drawing on interviews with fifty transsexuals, he demonstrates that becoming a woman is a process rather than a decision. He locates transsexuals in the wider society and shows that the possibility of a range of socially invisible psycho-sexual identities other than 'heterosexual masculine man' and 'heterosexual feminine woman' has implications not only for understanding transsexualism, but also for how we view homosexuality.
