Trouble with Gender: Mistakes and Updates
Mistakes/Typos — please contact me with additions
1. p. 31, first full para: 'Grace Lavery chimed in from California'. Prof. Lavery was in New York at the time—my apologies.
2. p. 42, first full para: '"Gender identity" first appears in papers Stoller and Greenson gave at the 23rd International Psycho-Analytic Congress in Stockholm in 1963.' In fact, 'Gender identity' appears in print earlier than 1963, and in any case might not have been used by Stoller and Greenson in Stockholm. It does, however, appear in the 1964 published version of their papers. What is right is that they were the first to define 'gender identity' clearly. See my "More on 'gender identity'", Archives of Sexual Behavior doi.org/10.1007/s10508-023-02695-3 (2023).
3. p.42, second full para: 'Johnston' -> 'Johnson' [corrected in Kindle edition]. How ten careful pairs of eyes missed that one, I don't know.
4. p. 164, second para: 'Yuvel'->'Yuval'. Correct spelling elsewhere in the book.
5. p. 224, note 23: '"Assigned sex" dates back to the 1950s'. It can also be found in some medico-legal texts from the nineteenth century.
Updates
1. p. 209, n. 58: 'see also Del Giudice 2023'. The book containing this paper is now out, and the relevant page number is 747.
2. p. 260: 'Diaz, S., and J. M. Bailey. 2023. Rapid onset gender dysphoria: parent reports on 1655 possible cases...This paper was subsequently considered for retraction by the publisher for reasons unrelated to its scientific validity...' The paper was retracted, to the surprise of no one. See Bailey's article in The Free Press, 'My research on gender dysphoria was censored. But I won’t be.' The paper was subsequently republished in the Journal of Open Inquiry in the Behavioral Sciences.
