Work

Lawrence is a proponent of Ray Blanchard's autogynephilia theory and self-identifies as an autogynephilic transsexual.[1] She has proposed that autogynephilia is not only sexual in nature, but also encompasses elements of romantic love.[2][3] Lawrence is a member of the American Medical Association and the International Academy of Sex Research and serves on the Board of Directors of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.[4] She lives in Seattle, Washington, where she formerly maintained a private practice in sex therapy. She retired in late 2015.[5]
