From "Using Students as Discussion Leaders on Sexual Orientation
and Gender Identity Issues in First-Year Courses," in the
Journal of Legal Education, December 1999:
One of the authors, Nyquist, is a nongay white biologically male law
teacher. Ruiz is a heteroqueer evolved male (the now-antiquated term
is "transsexual") Hispanic law student. Smith is a gay white
biologically male law student. Both Ruiz and Smith are active in the
Les-Bi-Gay-Trans Caucus at the New England School of Law and have been
involved in LBGT issues for many years.
Further explanation can be found in footnote #1:
Ruiz prefers the term "evolved male" to "transsexual" as a
description of his gender. He is a biological female who is in the
process of aligning his body with his male gender identity.
"Heteroqueer" refers to Ruiz' sexual orientation; "heterosexual"
is too simple a term for his situation. "Hetero" refers to Ruiz'
attraction to women and "queer" to his evolved male status.
...and more from footnote #22:
For example, when Ruiz first arrived at the school, Nyquist and Smith
identified him as a lesbian. In our initial planning session for the
class, Ruiz corrected us: "A lesbian is a biological woman who
identifies herself as a woman and is sexually attracted to women.
Although I have a woman's body and am attracted to women, I identify
my gender as male.... The term I prefer, 'evolved male,' implies not
only a physical transition, but also a personal journey, psychological
growth, and a physical emergence. The term also serves to distinguish
evolved males from biological males."
