But give her some credit for popularizing her science. It's a valuable enterprise that too few scientists are will to risk.

Where credit is due. Do you remember hearing about a case at Johns Hopkins in the 60's where a surgical procedure on a child's penis ran afoul and they ended up castrating the child and trying to force him to be a female? Didn't work- the "little girl" ended up fighting this change stating that she always "felt" like a boy. Nasty law suit ensued (no pun intended). Some how this validates the authors findings about wiring. I'd still be interested in the wiring of transgender and hermaprodites.
