Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: Narratives of Autogynephilic Transsexualism is a 2013 book on the subject of autogynephilia and transgender women written by sexologist Anne Lawrence.[1] In the book, she discusses autogynephilia, a paraphilia in which a person is sexually attracted to and aroused by the thought or image of themselves as female.[1][2] Autogynephilia is theorized to be the motivating etiology for a subset of transgender women.[1] It is also theorized to be the cause of the feelings and behaviors of certain related but non-transgender individuals, including so-called "crossdreamers" (non-transitioning autogynephiles) and male erotic crossdressers (transvestites or transvestic fetishists).[1][3] In respect to the latter, transvestism is defined as a subtype of autogynephilia.[1] Lawrence herself is a transgender woman and self-identifies as autogynephilic.[1] The book was published in 2013 by Springer in New York.[1]

Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: Narratives of Autogynephilic Transsexualism is 242 pages in length and has 12 chapters.[1] Its chapters include "Men Trapped in Men's Bodies", "Theory and Case Histories", "Narratives by Autogynephilic Transsexuals", "Confronting Autogynephilia", "Developmental Histories", "Manifestations of Autogynephilia", "Autogynephilia and Heterosexuality", "Sex with Men", "Other Aspects of Autogynephilic Sexuality", "Debating the Meaning of Autogynephilia", "Narratives by Nontranssexual Autogynephiles", and "Autogynephilic Transsexualism in Perspective".[1] It includes 249 first-person narratives of autogynephilia by transgender women that were collected by Lawrence.[1] This followed earlier collections of the same kinds of narratives that Lawrence had published in 1999.[1][4][5] Besides the book, Lawrence has published a number of literature reviews on autogynephilia.[6][2][7][8]

The book has a similar title to a 1998 essay published by Lawrence in Transgender Tapestry called Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: An Introduction to the Concept of Autogynephilia[9] and to a 1999 essay presented by Lawrence at the 16th Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA) symposium known as Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: Autogynephilic Eroticism as a Motive for Seeking Sex Reassignment.[1][10][11] Both of these essays were also previously published on her website,[1][9][11] in addition to her earlier collections of autogynephilia narratives.[4][5]

Men Trapped in Men's Bodies: Narratives of Autogynephilic Transsexualism has received several positive published reviews, including by psychologist Richard Lippa,[12] psychiatrist Stephen B. Levine,[13] sexologist Kevin Hsu,[14] psychologist Richard Carroll,[15] and psychologist Margaret Nichols.[16]
