  • Activists like Lynn Conway, Andrea James, and Deirdre McCloskey responded critically, attempting to discredit Bailey through various means, and the essay examines their efforts, the book’s content, and the validity of the ethical and scientific criticisms against Bailey.
  • The article concludes with an update on how the debate and the key figures involved have evolved since 2003, highlighting ongoing tensions between scientific research and transgender advocacy.]

@Gillian_Philip HQ in San Fransisco. Many AGPs appear to also have a great interest/ability with computers/tech. Depends who reviews the complaint e.g. I reported 2 accounts for misgendering my daughter, only one complaint was upheld. Interesting podcast https://t.co/swB7DhisKg

@Nick_J_Gatti @AJManaseer @FreespeechL0L @Noahpinion That depends on which type of trans person you're talking about, because there are a few types that are completely different from each other. That's why it's inappropriate to support medical procedures for the umbrella term of "trans". https://t.co/qEKS1cu9m9

Michael Bailey thinks that AGP is a sexuality. He considers AGP a compulsion like heterosexuality. Does he really believe that normal sexuality is the same as the mental illness of AGP, which predisposes these men to criminal activity? https://t.co/GR4T0TVaAs

Just started listening to this. I still think that AGP, is like Kryptonite for TRAs. Because it clearly shows, that a % of men - will dress as women, purely for their sexual pleasure. Not identity. It delegitimises their claim(s) https://t.co/Ekio5rAfHO

Why is Springer retracting Dr. Michael Bailey’s @profjmb paper on ROGD kids? Seems like TRA pressure is keeping important research from the public. @realDailyWire @DailyCaller, this seems like something worth investigating. Interview by @genspect https://t.co/ZE5IvFQN56

@RainbowSedition @BlanchardPhD Blanchard did nothing wrong or even nothing that should be criticized by the gender critical. Where it went wrong was people who firmly rejected the idea of "autogynephilia." Read this: https://t.co/lYIXZJa2kq

@rustyslimjim @MaryceChan Autogynephilia was and is widely accepted by those in the field. The tale of how a group of prominent and well-heeled autogynephiles went ballistic and promoted the bogus narrative you’re pushing is a sordid one, though not as sordid as AGP itself. https://t.co/ihDpUqq5Zq

@esjayXX @ilovepreserves @starchanton Yes. That's why I followed him. Because he was attacked by some aggressive AGP's, I defended him. But that time is over. He gave an interview for Sasha Ayad & Stella o'Melly where he talked about a little boy who showed some early signs of Autogynephilia. https://t.co/A8t87O0XC1

@Gillian_Philip HQ in San Fransisco. Many AGPs appear to also have a great interest/ability with computers/tech. Depends who reviews the complaint e.g. I reported 2 accounts for misgendering my daughter, only one complaint was upheld. Interesting podcast https://t.co/swB7DhisKg

@Debateisgood1 My take- There're some shitty men that abuse their wives/partners and their families. There're some shitty men that abuse systems, ment to protect women We're seeing a cohort of boys & young men IDing as AGP, so we need more data. Good podcast here. https://t.co/swB7DhisKg
