 It wasn't something I noticed when I first encountered _Closetspace_ around 2010 or so, but knowing [what I know now](/2018/Jan/dont-negotiate-with-terrorist-memeplexes/), it's really striking how much the Blanchardian [two-type taxonomy](/tag/two-type-taxonomy/) shines through in the course of telling Carrie's story, not because the author intended any such reading, but because the taxonomic structure in human psychology is going to show up when you tell a story that's true to human life. (Recap for new readers: there are [two etiologically distinct types of male-to-female transsexuals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanchard%27s_transsexualism_typology)—an androphilic type coterminous with the most effeminate gay men, and an _autogynephilic_ type—["men who love women and want to become what they love"](/papers/lawrence-becoming_what_we_love.pdf).)
 
-The author probably doesn't believe in the typology (if she's even heard of it), but _the traits line up anyway_. Carrie is straight—gynephilic (["Guys just aren't my thing"](http://www.dolari.org/cs/16.htm), she tells her sister). Carrie's gay (androphilic) drag queen friend Victor/Victoria [doesn't understand Carrie's motivations](http://www.dolari.org/cs/67.htm): "Not to mention you don't _think_ like one of 'them'", she comments on Carrie's lack of innate femininity. (Anyone can see that effeminate gay men taking on female roles "make sense"; autogynephilia is harder to understand if you haven't yourself felt the tug of the scintillating but ultimately untrue thought.) Heidi the (male) dominatrix [displays a working knowledge of the typology while coming on to Carrie](http://www.dolari.org/cs/268.htm): "We're both crossdressers, and we aren't anything like drag queens [...] sometimes I want to hang out with someone like me. Someone like you." Indeed!

 Likewise, Carrie's [beautiful pure sacred self-identity feelings](/2021/May/sexual-dimorphism-in-the-sequences-in-relation-to-my-gender-problems/#beautiful-pure-sacred-self-identity) (["And I feel a longing ... like I'd have a body like that once upon a time, and want it back"](http://www.dolari.org/cs/231.htm)) and [stirring post-transition](http://www.dolari.org/cs/239.htm) [meta-attraction](https://surveyanon.wordpress.com/2019/09/10/meta-attraction-cannot-account-for-all-autogynephiles-interest-in-men/) are _on type_.
