  1. Reduxx Magazine exposed WPATH, and their adopting 'Eunuch' as a 'gender identity', and their pressurising the writers of the DSM to change 'gender dysphoria' from being a 'disorder', more than a year ago - so acknowledgements, thanks and kudos to Genevieve Gluck, Jenifer Bilek et al for all their work. It is important what the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychological Disorders of the American Psychological Association) says. American psychiatrists and psychologists are told it is 'the Bible' for diagnosis. This is encouraged because usually Americans cannot get the cost of their treatment reimbursed from their insurance schemes unless their diagnosis is registered as 'a Category' in the DSM. The DSM is deeply theoretically flawed in its conception: the psychiatrists and psychologists who compile it attempt to be atheoretical and consensual at the same time. This encourages diagnostic drift and a proliferation of 'Categories' - also encouraged by the insurance situation. It is dualist, and cannot take into account co-morbidities, which occur in mental illness more often than not.

  2. Sueing JK Rowling: risky gamble. Certainly pick on someone who has the resources to gift you a nice pension-fund of damages - you can't get blood out of a ston. She can certainly counter-sue. She can fork out a huge amount of money if necessary, but can the plaintiff (possibly to become defendant)?
