HAWK STONE

"The best guess is that it affects one in 30,000 males and one in 100,000 females, said Dr. Edgar Menvielle of Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He based his calculation on the number of sex reassignment surgeries in the Netherlands."

That last sentence reads like a punchline. I love how pseudo science is allowed to be when it comes to gender. "Well, judging by a ten-year old six-person study in the Netherlands, I'm going to assume that female-to-male transsexuality does not actually exist." (<--- Not actually a real quote.)

It's also delightful how, in the last section, badassly-named psychologist HAWK STONE is talking about gender identity stuff very rationally and intelligently, and annoying reporter Fran Henry interjects in the second-to-last paragraph to be all "transsexuality's not real though," and then she continues quoting HAWK STONE who's like "well, actually, transsexuality's a real thing."

F minus, Minneapolis Star Tribune. Wait no- F plus, for HAWK STONE.
