This is such an odd statement since you don't explore the many scientists who disagree with Bailey - noted researchers in this field, with backgrounds in the biological sciences (unlike Mr. Bailey) some of whom are transsexual themselves. Ben Barres & Joan Roughgarden come immediately to mind. As does (non-transsexual) Milton Diamond.

Perhaps what's going on here is more akin to when gay men challenged the orthodoxy branding them as having mental disorders and associating them with pedophilia than what you seem to percieve.

But - this wouldn't be the first time a gay man presumed some insight into transgender people that was completly unwarrented. So - how many straight men does this publication hire to analyse gay people? How many transgender people hae you published?

I'm fairly sure whose voice is being silenced. And find it amusing how upset some seem to get when we start finding our voice.
