So good to see your hard work out in the public domain at last! And what a good time to be doing it. And so much water under the bridge since then. I hope the Listener editor of the time feels suitably embarrassed not to have published this and the rest of the piece. Michael is a dogged researcher and subsequently discovered that they switched sexes in the questionnaires for the Dutch study. He wrote "so a boy who wanted to become a girl, for example, answered the male questionnaires at baseline before puberty suppression, and then the female versions following surgery—so would be rating agreement with the statement “I hate menstruating because it makes me feel like a girl”" The "positive" outcomes have never been replicated. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2121238#d1e507
