Looking for ‘anti-trans bigotry’ in all the wrong places - when journalist lie
Anti-trans bigotry exists. It's wrong, and we should all condemn it. I condemn it in my new book " When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment ." But we lose the ability to effectively call out bigotry when all disagreement is condemned as bigoted – and when lies are told in the process. That's what happened earlier this week in a New York Times op-ed . Jennifer Finney Boylan , a contributing opinion writer for the Times, and a professor of English at Barnard College of Columbia University , told several bald-faced lies about my work. I'm surprised the editors published it. For the record, Boylan never contacted me regarding my research or my book. Nor did the Times contact me to verify any of the claims made about me in the column. Boylan claims I wrote "a book that suggests that transgender people are crazy, and that what we [people who identify as transgender ] deserve at every turn is scorn, contempt, and belittlement.&q
