The ad-hoc committee at Northwestern completes its work:

a full formal investigation of the charges that Prof. J. Michael Bailey

did not obtain the informed consent of research subjects.

November 4, 2003:

Bailey's mentor Ray Blanchard resigns in a huff from HBIGDA!

In a fit of anger, Blanchard accuses HBIGDA of deliberately trying to bias

the investigation into Bailey's research conduct at Northwestern.

That HBIGDA took seriously the complaints of the trans community

must have been just too much for Blanchard to take!

Why did he do it? Why did Bailey commit career suicide

by writing this ridiculous book? We look for answers in an

"Interim Report on Bailey's Affiliations and Ideological Associations",
where we uncover his motives, role models and supporters; 10-22-03

HBIGDA Officers and Board respond to Bailey's book:

"trust and mutual respect between the scientific and the transgender

communities is essential . . . to promote the health and

well-being of transgender and transsexual individuals and their families.

. . . this poorly referenced book does not reflect the social and

scientific literature that exists on transsexual people and

could damage that essential trust." 10-20-03
