I've tried to write this commentary several times, and each time that I have written it, I have found myself getting bogged down in the details and quid pro quos.
Through to Chapter 7, Serano speaks quite harshly of the treatment that a lot of transsexuals experience at the hands of therapists. She comes very close to advocating for removal of the condition entirely from the DSM, but stops just short of that.

A lot of her followers don't stop there though, and there is a small, but vocal movement in the Bay Area to do just that.
