" . . . you will learn more than you ever knew before -- and I don't mean more than you ever wanted to know, I mean more than you ever could have believed you'd be fascinated by knowing -- about what makes some boys, teenagers, and men feminine." - Robin Pinnel
". . . Bailey has studied, interviewed, and made friends with hundreds of men . . . in the industrialized world as well as those in the developing world who either are feminine or who perform ritualistic "feminine" behavior that may shock the average reader." - Robin Pinnel

Update of 8-30-06:
Our investigation resulted in the filing of complaints of research misconduct against J. Michael Bailey at Northwestern University. He was also subjected to stinging criticism in the scientific community, including by the Officers and Board of Directors of HBIGDA, by the President of the Kinsey Institute and by the President of HBIGDA, and also by the Southern Poverty Law Center following their own parallel investigation into his activities. All this led to Bailey's resignation as Chair of the Psychology Department in the fall of 2004 (although he remained on the faculty there)
Bailey then turned his attention away from trans women, defending his earlier work in homosexual eugenics in April 2005 and then attacking the identies of bisexual men in July 2005. He was resoundingly criticized for these actions too in the gay media and by media watchdog groups, including FAIR, GLADD, NGLTF and many more. In August 2006, in a courageous action against this rogue scientist, the Chicago Free Press refused to accept any further advertisements for gay research subjects for studies that involve J. Michael Bailey.
