at http://www.trbdesign.biz/andro/what.htm, found some interesting terms I wasn't familiar with:
Body Dysmorphophobia - a disgust with ones body, or appearance, often accompanied with self mutilation, agoraphobia, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
Gender Dysmorphophobia - a disgust concerning the gender a person is "supposed to be". It is not the same as believing ,or knowing one belongs to the other gender but seems to be reactive rather than innate.
Gynandromorphophilia - an attraction to TSs, from a combination of "Gyne" and "Andro" (female/male), "morph" (shape or appearance) and "philia" (attraction). Gynandromorphs are people of one sex presenting the physical characteristics of the other, and gynandromorphophiliacs (Gynandrophilia is an attraction towards Transsexuals, especially towards men with female breasts who have retained their male organs, there is a great deal of pornography directed at this market) are those attracted to such people.
Gynemimetophilia - an attraction (more specifically than gynandromorphaphiles) to those imitating ("mimetic") women, i.e. TVs. Those who could be described as gynandromorphophiles and gynemimetophiles are strongly attracted to TS and TV people. They find the concept of an apparent female with concealed male attributes a powerful aphrodisiac, but the situation has a lot of dilemmas and conflicts for them (not least, that many of their prospective partners are likely to be uncomfortable with the concept). Those in this situation often need as much support as any other transgendered person.
Hyperatism - a disgust with ones body as a sexual entity, often accompanied by paranoia, self hate, self mutilation and acute distress.
Skoptic Syndrome - is a particular form of body Dysmorphophobia: a revulsion of ones own genitals.
Transhomosexual - a person who wants to become, or fantasises about being, a person of the opposite sex who has sex with someone of that same sex (typically a male fantasising about being a lesbian engaging in a lesbian sexual activity) .
