I  personally and others have expressed to me, how this article may have negative connotations for FTM's.
Although it is a medical paper, it seem to be perhaps be outdated, and may give people the wrong impression of FTM's.
Please discusss this like adults (no zomg wtf h8ters) and give suggestons of how it could be changed, or with what it could be replced with.
And jah, i know i am out of place in the ftm section but whatever, lol

i don't think it CAN be changed to not be, you know, stupid xD. i find it really offensive, even though 99% of it is inane freudian mysogynistic rambling and rationalization of how to keep women in their place. its gross that my state did this :S. it just belittles FTMs imo

Perhaps we can find more recent or more accurate article/s to take its place ?
Personaly i found it to be pretty ridiculous, the q-tip thing makes me laugh every time, but its not a subject that i have a wealth of knowledge on, i am just throwing it out there.
But tbh it's all drains fault. {-_-}

Drain contacted me about this. I suggested the FTM community write a response to this and we can add it to the study in question. Even if we removed it from this site, it would still be out there. So I think a response to it would be the best way to go... Here's some inspiration for you!

A parody of Braveheart...



DRAIN: And if this is your army, why does it go?
 
FTM: We didn't come here to fight for them.

Second FTM: Home, the doubters are too many!

DRAIN: Sons of Man! I am DRAIN.

Second FTM: DRAIN is seven feet tall!
 
DRAIN: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the doubters with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

[The FTM army laughs]

DRAIN: I AM DRAIN! And I see a whole army of my fellow men, here, in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?

FTM: Against that? No, we will run, and we will live.

DRAIN: Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

[The FTM crowd cheers]
