    The difference is that the woman highlighted in that article had complaints about symptoms she was experiencing. Not complaints from other people about who she was. We’ve also learned a lot more since the late 19th century.

    The cherry on top is the last sentence of the article you linked:

    But our main character would finally rest in peace if we could just give the man credit where he so believed it was due – our universal natural bisexuality.

      You missed the entire point of the article I think. The point is that what we consider sound science today has a high chance of sounding like absolute nonsense in a few centuries. Therefore saying “read the science” implies that there’s nothing else to discover about the subject. Thats a ridiculous notion.

      And frankly, as many trans activists will say sexual orientation has little to do with being transgender, so I don’t see what you think that last sentence bears of relevance to my point. I agree with it though, if that la worth anything.
