Anne Alexandra Lawrence (born November 17, 1950), is an American psychologist, sexologist, and anesthesiologist. She has published extensively on transsexuality 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 maintains a private practice in sex therapy.[2][4]
