Bailey and Blanchard's position is that all transsexuals lie. On the other hand I doubt if an honest word has ever passed from the lips or pen of either Bailey or Blanchard.
While they accuse us of making stuff up because all our stories sound alike, they ignore the idea that they all sound alike because they are of an archetype that has a good deal of similarity to the gay or lesbian coming out story.
Common elements include awareness of both being different and feeling trapped in the wrong body dating from our earliest memories.
