she seemed fairly respectful towards people with gender dysphoria at least

quote:

CONAN: The high price, you had a, well, nervous breakdown, is that too far?

Ms. VINCENT: No, no, no, that's what I say in the book. That's quite fair. I had a, I would say, nervous breakdown. I really went into a terrible depression. And in fact I would add to that, you know, since Reid called in, you know, that I think I also developed a tremendous empathy for transsexuals because I think part of what precipitated that breakdown was also the fact that trying to hold two gender identities in your mind at the same time, it sets up this cognitive dissonance that's really untenable. So, I was sort of doing the reverse, you know, to what transsexuals do. So I remained a woman. My brain was female. I felt that I was a woman very strongly, but I was trying to pass as a man. And that's just a conflict that I couldn't sustain.

i'm hoping i can find an actual public source for this so i can cite it in my final paper this semester

if you wanna make it in academia it's probably best not to assert the objectively true observation that much of academia is motivated by the petty personal and the brain damage
