"I don't know much on this specific situation, which saddens me a bit as I am /from/ southeast Pennsylvania (Bethlehem), and am trans, though I now live in Australia.
That said, if they really only gave one day's notice, I would say that that was badly handled."
"I'm transgender, and this was a hearbreaking story.
What's even worse is that Zucker has been tapped to head the committee that is writing the Gender Identity Disorder section of the DSM-V, which is likely to codify his viewpoints as the standard practice for how to handle transgender people of all ages for at least the next decade.
Also on the committee is Ray Blanchard, who's theory of autogynephilia is both offensive, and completely denies the existence of either male-to-female transsexuals who identify as lesbians (me!), or female-to-male transsexuals /at all/.
These people heading up this group is simply ludicrous."
