Work

Lawrence is a proponent of Ray Blanchard's transsexualism typology theory and self-identifies as an autogynephilic transsexual. ^[2] She has proposed that autogynephilia is not only sexual in nature, but also encompasses elements of romantic love. ^{[3] [4]} 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. ^[5] She lives in Seattle, Washington, where she formerly maintained a private practice in sex therapy. She retired from medical practice in late 2015 and as of December 2021 ^[update] was last published in 2017. ^{[6] [7]}

Lawrence was a coauthor on the 2002 Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association's Standards of Care for Gender Identity Disorders, Sixth Version (now the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care). ^[8]
