As mentioned, take it with a grain of salt - in fact, many trans-women will fall in-between or overlapping categories - it's very individualistic. As a matter of fact, in one regard I consider Benjamin's scale a bit outdated - namely where he adds sexual orientation as part of the equation. No doubt, the vast majority of trans-women (as cis-women) are sexually oriented toward men, however, there are lesbians or bisexuals among trans-women too (probably more so in the West than here in Asia), so gender identity and sexual orientation remain separate.
Anyway, keep digging into it - it's really a fascinating field and there are many good resources on the internet.
What I've actually always liked about this particular site (I used to be more active here) is the way it seemingly integrates what I'd label "porn-chat" with more serious issues - so this is not a bad place to begin.
