While critical of the common transsexual model, Bailey states in his book that he believes sex changes should be performed. Homosexual transsexuals being extremely effeminate to begin with come into constant conflict against society's expectations, although after taking up the gender roles of a woman, they are then able to express themselves more naturally, and typically integrate with society better afterwards. Autogynephiles though, do not integrate better with society after changing to a woman, however the empirical evidence shows a typical positive change in the person's mental health, despite their regressing from general society.[http://www.bioethics.northwestern.edu/faculty/work/dreger/controversy_tmwwbq.pdf] | While critical of the common transsexual model, Bailey states in his book that he believes sex changes should be performed.
