Hate Monger would be a more accurate description of Dreger.

Alice Dreger is a well known supporter of anti-transsexual academics, such as Anne Lawrence who attack the reality and existence, of transsexual people,

by sexualising, perversifying and dehumanising transsexual people. A lot of intersex people do not like Alice Dreger either.

Alice Dreger has won a Guggenheim for 2008 to 2009, to pay for writing. If she wants more money, she should apply to the Pioneer Fund for grant aiding, if she has not already. http://www.pioneerfund.org/ They fund like-minded people. Of course no one in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour / International Journal of Transgenderism / Blanchard, Bailey, Dreger, Zucker, Lawrence / WPATH / Psychiatry world would be funded by the pioneer fund, share offices with its members, recommend them, have offices just down the corridor from them, have dinner with them, attend conferences with them, marry them or meet them for coffee at break time to discuss ways to remove groups that they don’t approve of from the human race.

Tucson police: UMC staff photographed patient's 'ambiguous genitalia

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 06.11.2009

University Medical Center employees took inappropriate photos of a patient’s “ambiguous genitalia,” police reports released Thursday revealed.

The patient who later died as a result of his condition was unconscious for his entire stay at the hospital, according to a Tucson police report.

He was nude and was being turned over by three patient care technicians and a registered nurse when one employee was seen pointing his cell phone at the patient, the report said. Those involved said the photos were not sent to anyone and that they had been deleted prior to being contacted by police.

He was nude and was being turned over by three patient care technicians and a registered nurse when one employee was seen pointing his cell phone at the patient, the report said. Those involved said the photos were not sent to anyone and that they had been deleted prior to being contacted by police.

The hospital learned of the photos April 24. The photos were taken sometime between April 4 and April 22.

A supervisor of patient care services interviewed several employees and learned that others had also taken photos of other patients, although none were without knowledge or consent, or of genitalia, the police report said.

The four employees present were fired. Four others were suspended.

Hospital policy prohibits the photography of patients without the written consent of a patient or family member. It also prohibits the use of personal cell phone cameras by staff inside the hospital.

UMC notified the patient’s family of the incident.

Tucson police spoke with Deputy Pima County Attorney Susan Eazer regarding the case on May 27. No charges were filed at that time.

Assume Nothing

Excerpt from Feature Documentary "Assume Nothing" screening at Frameline 33 Film Festival on May 19 2009 2.15 pm, Castro Theatre. "Many of us assume that there are only two genders and that being female or male follows from the sex of our biological bodies. Focusing on the art, photography and performances of five "alternative" gender artists of Maori, Samoan-Japanese, and European descent, Assume Nothing poses the questions: "What if "male" and "female" are not the only options? How do other genders express themselves through art?" Intimate present-day interviews and actuality are interspersed with lush Super-8, 2-D and 3-D animations and beautifully staged performances - blurring the conventions of documentary, animation, drama and gender in the process. Meticulously crafted, playful and provocative, Assume Nothing travels from Wellingtons Red Rocks to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to explore the potent creative world that flourishes between and beyond genders".

Dr. Lynn Conway files formal complaint against Ken Zucker

6-10-09: LynnConway.com: "Formal complaint of academic misconduct filed against Ken Zucker: Letter from Lynn Conway to Catherine Whiteside, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Vice-Provost, University of Toronto"

"Not only did Dr. Zucker apparently misappropriate University legal funds to press a personal action aimed at intimidating and silencing a transgender critic, thereby defrauding the people of the Province of Ontario, he also abused his position of authority as a senior faculty member to co-opt CAMH into enjoining this unethical action – i.e., joining into a false accusation of libel. Furthermore, he has engaged in a pattern of such activities, i.e., repeatedly co-opting CAMH into launching libel threats against his critics – thus terribly frightening and intimidating others too. The evidence of this is quite clear, for several other transitioned women have recently posted legal threats that they have received from CAMH and these are likely just the tip of the iceberg."
