I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.
I am going to school for a psychology degree, with an emphasis on gender studies. This semester I have to do a research paper for my writing 2 class. I am writing about the difficulties transgender people face in just using the bathroom in public spaces. I have found several good sources, but I am having difficulty finding articles with a bent against allowing it that are from credible sources. I'm not allowed to use blogs, but can use links from them to find sources. I was trying to find something from Paul McHugh, who despite his anti transgender agenda, is a psychologist with some credit to his name.
The paper itself is meant more to teach me to use both supporting and contrary sources to argue my case, not necessarily for the psychology class. I chose the subject, because I am curious about what drives some people to disapprove of our choices. Basically to understand their side. I understand that some, most, of it is just fear; but I want to know from whence that fear comes.
By the way, thank you Susan's Place for links to good sources!

Credible sources to people with intolerant views....I'm not sure anyone is going to be able to help you with that, honey.
Good luck with your paper, though.

I couldn't seem to find any either, but I need to find something to use as a source for my against it side of the paper. I guess I'll use something from an old newsweek article I saved a while back. I know McHugh has a published article somewhere, but I'm having difficulty finding it.

I am going to lock this thread. I also deleted one link posted here. This is not a site to discuss quacks as being reputable ever.
