I love reading the pro-trans ideology-based hatred of this book and seeing all its down votes. This is how you know you're doing your job as a writer; when you piss off dogmatic, narrow-minded ideologues?

What ideology? An ideology is a system of values with a philosophical foundation for it. We don’t subscribe to any specific ideology. We’re simply people who wish to exist. Why is that so terrible? Why does our right to exist have to be a political issue?

Janice Raymond threw every piece of excrement at a plain white wall that she could: what stuck became TTE. What is she so offended about? She wants to "morally mandate" transgender people out of existence but never goes into detail abut what such a mandate should look like, nor who should issue it, nor why. I have news for her: it would NOT be a select committee of lesbian feminist separatist scholars making THAT decision. And don't think it would stop with trans folk. Lesbian feminists would be violently targeted as would queer men. as is already happening. Dr. Raymond, get OUT of that chrysalis and wake up to the wide adult world around you. As a practitioner of medical ethics, surely you're aware of many more pressing issues in 2020.
