"I don't believe we have definitive data (although many psychiatrists with very impressive credentials, who seem to mean well, assert that we do) that any male or female soul has ever in the history of the world been born into the wrong anatomic gender.

Let me put that more clearly: I am not convinced by any science I can find that people with definitively male DNA and definitively male anatomy can actually be locked in a cruel joke of nature because they are actually female."

If I'm not mistaken he's the same doctor who is often (or at least one was often) featured on Fox News. He made a comment a number of years back on I believe the O'Reilly Factor saying that 'trans people live less time because of HRT' or something to that effect while not taking into account why the average life span is actually lower (hint: not hormones but ignorance and bigotry).
