"Abstract: Blanchard, Bailey and Dreger have attempted to deconstruct what they call the "feminine essence narrative". Their articles and analysis are replete with internal contradictions and lack of empirical data. Some of the illogical fallacies included are: 1) In comparing male to female transsexuals to natal women, lesbians are not
even considered as a possible control group for male to female transsexuals who are attracted to women. Instead, Blanchard suggests that homosexual transsexuals (those who are attracted to men) are the proper control group for autogynephiles. 2) Bailey pretends that he doesn't even know what a gender identity is. However, he has a clear
gender identity because he states in the very book in which he questions the validity of a gender identity that he is a heterosexual man."
