I'm on break at work, so I don't really have to to get past the abstract but.

Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli.

I feel like it's a big assumption to conclude homosexual desire from this. Like sure, I can understand why you would, but I've definitely gotten erections from stimulus I didn't find sexually arousing, especially if they illicited some other strong response.

Pre-transituon I used to get rage-boners, sad-boners even disgust-boners. Estrogen has mostly eradicated unexpected erections for me, but that isn't really a factor here.

What. I get horny boners, and night boners. During puberty I got random boners. It might be that trans brains don't (always) come with the control circuitry that the external hardware expects and it's getting confused, it certainly doesn't sound like ordinary cismale boner patterns.
