  Endocrinologist Louis Gooren talks about the recent discoveries about the brain made in the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research in 1995 (Zhou et al.) and then confirmed in 2000 by another research's study (Kruijver et al.) :
  
  "The recent discoveries about the brain's sexual differentiation on people with transsexualism could open a door to see this condition in a different way that we see it today.First, from the medical view transsexuals could be reassigned to their true sex and not be seen as mentally disturbed people.Second, the medical insurance would be obligated to pay for all medical expenses for the sex reassignment as it happens with other cases of intersexuality.The legal system would have to treat transsexuals in the same way they treat people with other intersex conditions.The rest of the people may change their attitude towards transsexuals and even religious institutions would stop seeing it as a sin. > The fascinating consequences of the "biologication" of transsexualism in all the domains of Life are difficult to value.Louis Gooren."Transsexualism, a form of intersexuality".2003.Department of Endocrinology, Free University Hospital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

  The FIRST example concerns the curiously contradictory way in which the book cites the opinions of Professor Louis Gooren when it suits the argument, and trashes his team's work when it doesn't.
  
  The book cites Professor Gooren's publications no fewer than eight times, and I'm sure he'll be flatterred by all that well-deserved attention.The Professor holds the world's only chair in Transsexology at the Free University Hospital in Amsterdam, where he heads a multidisciplinary team of endocrinologists, psychologists and surgeons, performing the very sort of medical reassignment treatment which the EA so-strongly abhors.
  ...
  Semantically these are all referred to as "Intersex" though, and on occasions, therefore, Louis has been known to observe that you could therefore go a step further and put "trans" into the same bag as well.
  ...
  Nevertheless note that here, on page four of the book, Professor Gooren's standing as an authority is rock solid enough to quote favourably.
  
  Further into the book, on page 16, Gooren's work is quoted again, this time as an alternative opinion on the epidemiology of the trans condition.Again, so far so good.
  ...
  Why Professor Louis Gooren, of course, in his Closing Speech to the Council of Europe's 23rd Colloquy, "Transsexualism, Medicine and Law".
  ...
  All of which goes to show that Louis Gooren is a good deal better at keeping an open mind and entertaining all possibilities than those quoting his work!

  Professor Louis Gooren, an endocrinologist and Chair of the only Faculty of Transsexualism in the world, a part of the Free University of Amsterdam and its teaching hospital, presented the Closing Speech at the Council of Europe's 23rd Colloquy on European Law in 1993.20 Explaining the complex process by which a developing fetus becomes either male or female.Professor Gooren said:
  ...
  Professor Gooren then discussed some of the ways in which the sexual differentiation process may not proceed according to expectations, resulting in (intersex) infants with atypical genitalia and/or karyotypes.Turning to the predicament of transsexualism, he said:
  
  It has always been assumed that the sexual differentiation was completed with the formation of the external genitalia.
