Regrets about SRS?

http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/Warning.html

The above ref from the transsexual article indicates Richards regretted her transition and she is indicated as someone who regretted this in the article. Should this be mentioned here as the transsexual article links to this one but on coming here I found no further information on this? Leonurus 16:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above link is in the Transsexualism references. The problem is, that at various times Dr. Richards both does and doesn't regret her SRS. Certainly she has not "Detransitioned" which is the evidential standard for significant regret in transsexualism. She does have a new book - I think that would be worth reading first. Cheers!

Tone of article and talk page

I am apalled at the lack of professionalism in here. First, let me address the article. I feel it is incorrect to refer to a transsexual by any other pronouns than the preferred ones, even when discussing pre-transition life. This occurs under "Becoming legally female" in the article and under "WTF?" in the talk page. Secondly, I find the comments above under "WTF?" to be biased (not NPOV), if not also bigoted. --24.167.191.111 03:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the article, sure, and I'm going to go and change that after I'm done here. The comments under WTF? are definitely biased and bigotted, but a talk page is a record of discussion, and everyone has the right to freedom of speech, even, alas, bigotted people. 62.253.240.4 (talk) 00:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
