However, the [[Kinsey]] model fails to account for a significant amount of transsexuals, who are attracted to people of the opposite gender as their destination gender.  As a result, [[Transgender activism|transgender activists]] claim that sexual orientation and [[gender identity]] are independent of one another. <ref name="controvery_tmwwbq">http://www.bioethics.northwestern.edu/faculty/work/dreger/controversy_tmwwbq.pdf</ref>

Critics of this model, such as [[J. Michael Bailey]] claim that such a model fails to properly account for  evidence that transsexuals can be divided into two separate and distinct categories. One group of males are so naturally effeminate and develop identically to homosexuals in youth that it is considered better for them to be a women, than to continue to struggle and/or fail as men.  These naturally effeminate transsexuals contrast with all other transsexuals, who are described as having a form of non-harmful [[paraphilia]], called autogynephilia, whereby their erotic desires revolve around considering themselves as women.  This paraphilia then progresses to consume their erotic desires. As the erotic gratification naturally diminishes, it is supplemented by deeper and deeper fantasies and acts, which culminate in the compulsion to actually become the woman that they have imagined themselves to be. Unlike transsexuals who are naturally effeminate these transsexuals with a paraphilia are empirically shown to share a common and frequent rejection from family, friends and society that are outside of the [[transgender]] community, as they continue to remain notably masculine and behave differently from natural females, regardless of how much surgical intervention, or behaviorial training they seek.<ref name="controvery_tmwwbq" />
