Janice Raymond (1943 - ) feminist professor.

http://zagria.blogspot.com/2010/04/janice-raymond-1943-feminist-professor.html

Raymond did a BA in English Literature at Salve Regina College, 1965, and an MA in Religious Studies at Andover Newton Theological School, 1971. She was then for a short time a member of the Sisters of Mercy, but left and did a PhD in Ethics and Society at Boston College, 1977. Raymond's PhD thesis supervisor was Mary Daly of Boston College. Daly was writing Gyn/Ecology at the same time. Raymond's dissertation became The Transsexual Empire, 1979, and it and Gyn/Ecology cite each other, and both were published by Beacon Press which is associated with the Unitarian Church. In 1978, Raymond became Professor of Women's Studies and Medical Ethics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Raymond's position is that transsexual women are not women, and she uses male pronouns for trans women throughout.
