1976: Transgenderist; Trans Classification Table

Terminology by Cristan
Table by Phyllis Frye, 1976

Of Note:

  • This table was developed years before Virginia Prince supposedly coined this term
  • This is table puts the development of transgenderist sometime close to 1976
  • A conceptual taxonomy is evident in this graph; the three types of trans classifications all fall under one heading. Additionally, Frye clearly views effacement men as being under this conceptual taxonomy… a notion that differs significantly from Ariadne Kane 1976 usage of transgenderist
  • Frye seems to regard the Type 5 Benjamin Scale True Transsexual as a transgenderist.
