Wasn't the 'Danny' bit in that book totally fabricated? And it's not as if Dreger herself doesn't have plenty of anti-trans stuff.
(Bailey's also an associate of Steve Sailer, which is reason enough to doubt his honesty)

A shout-out and thank-you to the transphobes who downvoted this without replying and explaining why they hate trans people so much, proving my point that they know they're wrong and don't have a leg to stand on to justify their bigotry, because their arguments and justifications for their hatred won't withstand scrutiny.

Downvotes are meaningless internet points and it's always a mistake to worry about them.

Dreger is not exactly a neutral party in this. You can’t take her words as some sort of neutral account of what happened. If you don’t want trans people and specifically trans women to exist it’s very easy to use words like ‘trying to ruin’ to describe well-deserved criticism and rebuttal. That too, is a fundamental part of the scientific method. Much of the dreg published back then by Bailey, Blanchard, Raymond and…

As it turns out, Moser’s research is a result of motivated reasoning and is flawed. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-022-02359-8
A correction written by nobody other than Michael Bailey. Yeah. He would, wouldn’t he?
This is actual research that can be replicated by anyone,
if you like. Moser’s questions were not the ones asked in the original studies and therefore do not refute anything in them.

Actually it's because your style of commenting is only a small step away from that of the TempleOS guy. Maybe calm down a bit, be a bit more concise instead of subjecting us to walls of yawn and then going off on one ranting about it when other users signal their disinterest. I mean come on man, no-one wants to read all this.

#37> At the same time, Lynn was dismayed that transsexual women are still treated so inhumanely by parents, relatives, employers, the legal system and society at large. The total rejection of teenage transgender and transsexual girls-to-be by their families is especially tragic, since it often happens just as they first cry out for help, and can doom them to years of marginalized existence.

Novelty accounts used for personal attacks. Bleh.

Do you have information on what you're working on? It might help me or my friends (though I don't know if it would also help with trauma and running into hurtful roadblocks and struggling just trying to function at a basic adult level).

It's a little JS tool that collates and autofills (to the extent possible) all the documents you need. It only works for Michigan, my home state, but I'm developing a system to hopefully ease the other 49.
