This happened ages ago and everyone pretended it never happened. There was no blow to the movement, or re-thinking, because there was a media blackout. The fucking NYT and Guardian ran op-eds by Shupe when he was a "trans/non-binary hero" but never even bothered to report he admitted the whole thing was a fraud.

Wow. I had no idea about this. Thanks for sharing.

I then began confronting the VA about rubber-stamping me with gender dysphoria when in fact I had sexual paraphilias, a transvestic disorder with autogynephilia and masochism. The psychologist at the VA who had diagnosed me with gender dysphoria then dumped me as a patient when I asked for the diagnosis to be changed.

Hmmm
