  • Hell Hath No Fury Like a Tranny Scorned: When J. Michael Bailey, a psychologist at Northwestern University, released a book that promoted a theory about transsexuals that his critics think is inaccurate, insulting and potentially damaging to transgender women, the trannies struck back -- hard. He's since been accused of tranny rape, his career has been on the verge of destruction, and a leading critic's Web site includes a link to the Web page of another critic of Bailey’s book who downloaded images from Bailey’s Web site of his children, taken when they were in middle and elementary school, and posted them on her own site, with sexually explicit captions that she provided. (Dr. Bailey is a divorced father of two.). Andrea James, the Los Angeles-based transgender advocate and consultant behind the captions, said that Bailey’s work exploited vulnerable people, especially children, and that her response echoed his disrespect. Yikes. (NYT)
