re: #265 Belafon

I’ve read that some people say her book isn’t helpful to LGBTs. Has anyone here read it?

I have.

I’m straight so I can’t comment from an LGBT perspective. I do know she got a lot of outrage over supporting a researcher’s unpopular (with some) research about the causes of transexuality. My problem with it wasn’t with supporting the aforementioned researcher (apparently a bunch of trans folks agree with him others don’t) but that I see no reason why his hypothesis explains why all trans people are trans. She seemed to me to be siding with the researcher and implying that all transexuality has the same cause.
