CSPP名誉教授Bernardo Ferdman博士.D. publishes a poignant response to administration’s proposed transgender policies in the New York Times.

致编辑:

The Orwellian implications of this move by the Trump administration cannot be overemphasized. It not only denies the existence and humanity of part of the population, 但也忽视了基础科学. External genitalia are but one of many characteristics combining to comprise a person’s sex, 直到1.7 percent of people are intersex in some way rather than unambiguously male or female.

Gender identity is also complex; for millions of people, 这与他们出生时的性别不匹配. 很多研究都证明了这一点，包括 我和同事一起工作在美国，变性恐惧症是真实而危险的. This hateful and wrongheaded policy flies in the face of reality, science and democracy. Permitting its adoption would be dangerous for every American, not just transgender people.
