I'm glad you pointed that out, Xazy. I knew that name and type of argument rang a bell.
Bailey's book on MTF Transsexuals, The Man Who Would Be Queen (an inflammatory title to begin with) had a similarly structured argument to the article linked above.
It essentially cliamed that there are two distinct categories of MTF transsexuals, "homosexual transexuals" (a laugher of a description), and "autogynephillic transsexuals". The science was flawed, and the labels themselves both inaccurate and offensive, but what strikes me about it as it relates to this article is that he claimed that those in the second group, "autogynephyllic" transsexuals, frequently made false cliams about their sexual orientation or history, claiming to have characteristics assigned to both groups.
In other words they were either homosexual, autogynephillic, or lying.
