=="Attacks" on Bailey's children== |
|
|
|
|
|
Can someone research this issue about Andrea posting photos of ]'s children (author of '']'') and making untoward comments about the children on her website back in 2003? I keep seeing this claim being brought up by self-identified ] transsexuals. Then again, Bailey *did* make disparaging comments about transsexual women, bisexuals, women in general, and gender variant children. I think her intent was to "hit too close to home," sorta speak, to get him to realize that his disparaging remarks are personal and hurtful. A tit for tat. This issue definitely needs to be addressed in the article. Perform a search on her website using the word 'children.' -- ] 06:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC) |

Andrea James wrote about that issue here: http://www.tsroadmap.com/info/bailey-children.html. In it she apologized for doing that and she also reported tha she apologized to Bailey's children for that incident. |

Bailey's children deny that James ever apologized to them, and James certainly never apologized to Bailey, at least publicly. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 04:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Seems reasonable. I had already proposed that the mediation scope include this article as well (and another bio that is getting similarly trashed with Dreger's negative assessments of the subject). ] (]) 00:32, 3 June 2008 (UTC) |

:"Trashed" is POV, which even if allowed here is inaccurate. I am fine having mediation here (rather than continued quibbling with Dicklyon). One big difference with the Conway page is that the latest flurry of revisions (and Dicklyon's deletions) concern the subject's (Andrea James') actual words, and no one (not even she) has argued that these words are not hers. They essentially show that at one time she strongly favored a theory that she has become famous (or infamous) for attacking. That is certainly important. Furthermore, Dicklyon appeared to accept the most recent version of her quotation. (I disagree with Dicklyon that there are any important differences between the present version which he accepts and the prior version that he didn't, but the present version is fine with me too.)] (]) 02:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC) |

::Yes of course "trashed" is POV; I think it's appropriate that we express our assessment of the content issues here; NPOV applies in article space, not here. As to "appears to accept", see the . Nobody but you brought up the question of whether the quoted words were from her; that's not at issue. ] (]) 02:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC) |

Well, Dicklyon, let me proceed in the spirt we should start, with the assumption that you, like me, want an unbiased and fair but accurate (bad with the good) page on Andrea James. It would help toward a comprise solution (and perhaps inform the mediator) if you could identify particular assertions in Alice Dreger's history that are clearly inaccurate. It is a very long history with lots of assertions, so there are lots of opportunities for you to identify mistakes. Also perhaps you could show how the quote of Andrea James somehow misrepresents her beliefs in 1998. Or perhaps you can present a good argument why the contradiction between those words and her public position should be suppressed for the sake of accuracy. Specifics, rather than vague and general accusations about "enemies" and "trashing" would be most helpful. I think we should have future discussions about the Andrea James page here rather than at my page.] (]) 03:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC) |

:Two points: |

* ] is now blocked indefinitely for being a sockpuppet of an editor previous blocked indefinitely for vandalizing this biography similarly to what she has been doing in this dispute. |
|
|
* With respect to the Andrea James's private email that BarbaraSue was quoting out of context from what Dreger quoted out of context, BarbaraSue had said that . Now, I looked it up () and it turns out she published it only AFTER Dreger's out-of-context publication, and blasted Dreger for that, providing the complete context to counter to implications of the quote. If the subject of this article blasted Dreger for it, and BarbaraSue obviously knew that, then it seems inappropriate to leave any of what she did in the article. |

==Consideration of Andrea James' 1998 autogynephilia confession== |
|
|
|
|
|
I want to know what other editors think about the inclusion of material concerning a remarkable 1998 email from Andrea James to Anne Lawrence. The email is here, with commentary from James who tries to show that it doesn't mean what Alice Dreger suggests it means: |
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.tsroadmap.com/info/alice-dreger/hermaphrodite-monger.html#appendix1 |
|
|
|
|
|
In this email, James says that she has found many of Ray Blanchard's scientific insights "valid, even brilliant, especially in distinguishing early- and late- transitioning TS patterns of thought and behavior." Recall that Blanchard is the originator of the scientific theory of transsexualism that James has so assiduously decried. Furthermore, she says: "I readily admit my own autogynephilia." When i first read this, I found these to be explosive admissions. After all, James has dedicated a good part of her time and reputation to trying to destroy J. Michael Bailey for promoting this theory in his book. (The title of the relevant part of her website is: "Categorically Wrong.") Bailey's account of the controversy is that it was a smear campaign waged by unprincipled liars. (Lest anyone accuse me of being inflammatory, the accusations that Conway, James and others have made against Bailey are just as bad.) The contrast between James' 1998 email and her later anti-Bailey and Blanchard campaign surely is consistent with this interpretation. Moreover, it is relevant to the contention that autogynephilia is not consistent with many transsexual women's experience. If it is consistent with the experience of the concept's most vociferous critic, that makes the contention less credible. |

This material was mentioned in an earlier version of the ] page, but Dicklyon removed it, saying that it was taken out of context. Frankly, I do not find Dicklyon's objection (or Andrea James' objections as related on the above website) at all plausible at negating the obvious facts that she once found Blanchard's theory to be of great interest and she once agreed that she is autogynephilic. Dicklyon has admitted that he has ties with Lynn Conway, but I am sure that he does not want anyone to think that's a primary reason for his edits. Perhaps other editors can weigh in on whether they think there is any other way to read James' 1998 email other than how I read it, and whether they think it is relevant for inclusion in various articles. I think it could be considered for ], ], ], ], and ].] (]) 15:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC) |

*I have no ties to anyone involved in this matter. That said, I'm concerned with using emails as sources. If it was written by the subject, posted in a public, verifiable way by the subject, and only addressed issues about the subject, then it might be acceptable as a primary source. But it deals with other living persons. As a source for information about a 3rd-party it is inadequate. Regardless of ], it is also used inappropriately as a primary source, in that interpretation is required. For those reasons I think that this source, and any sources like it, should not be used. ]] ] 18:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC) |

*This ] is trying to bring their off-wiki trolling here by cross-posting this same post across multiple talk pages. I imagine a checkuser will turn up some sockpuppetry and that this editor will be banned in short order. For the record, I don't think it's especially relevant and feel it's cross-posted not to be placed in any articles, but to be a backhanded ] violation throughout Misplaced Pages. I address this appendix to a footnote of a larger controversy offsite. Unfortunately, this is the best they can do to discredit me, so they keep flogging away. I'd love to see other experienced editors remove all four instances of the same trolling from the talk pages. Anyone that interested in the mind-numbing minutiae of this controversy can find it offsite. ] (]) 19:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC) |

I have had no shortage of interactions with Jokestress (or Dicklyon) on WP, but, personally, I think the material is both permissible and relevant. The email was written by the subject herself, is posted in a public, verifiable way (James' own personal website), and can indeed be used to refer only to what James herself thinks of (or thought) autogynephilia. Thus, it appears (to me) to meet all the criteria outlined by user:WellBeBack. Moreover, the relevant portions of James' email are also contained in a review of the entire controversy by Alice Dreger, which was published in a high-end, peer-reviewed journal. Dreger is a professional bioethicist with a PhD in history, who studies sexuality and identity politics. So, she would seem (to me) to be clearly qualified to assess primary sources on the subject. Thus, James' email can be cited as a primary RS, or Dreger can be cited as a secondary RS. |
|
|
|
|
|
With regard to relevance, James' involvement in the autogynephilia controversy has been reported even in the ''New York Times.'' That would make her comments about the topic about as relevant as can be. |
|
|
|
|
|
Although I am sure Jokestress will be happy to comment, I don't see how it's relevant; few people would suport sharing evidence of their own double-speak. Speaking of double-speak, if anyone wants to see Jokestress ''real'' beliefs about "trolling here by cross-posting this same post across multiple talk pages," see her own recent cross-postings of the same (misleading) material on ], ], and ].<br/> |

:The new editor who triple-posted this section may be a proud autogynephile, or may just want to suggest that, but its claim that it can do NPOV edits seems to be contradicted by the very POV title of this section. Enough said. ] (]) 20:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
The sociopolitical climate among some trans-activists has made it difficult for people who experience autogynephilia to say so, even among other people who experience the same thing; however, I do know many people who remain unintimidated.<br/> |
|
|
|
|
|
That said, the proof of the edit is in the tasting, and ProudAGP did ask for input before editing the actual page. Whether ProudAGP can produce an NPOV edit will certainly become clear soon enough. |
|
|
|
|
|
However, I would ask to you, ProudAGP, that you post to this talk page the actual text you have in mind. That way Dicklyon (and I) can give feedback without tempting an edit war on this already unstable page (Dicklyon and I have previously agreed not to edit the portions of this page that deal with the topic).<br/> |
