ezs note: Believe it or not, I do respect Germaine Greer's work, despite our differences. However, I would respectfully suggest that, for a start, she read transgender history in Wikipedia.

"She had no preconceived notion of backward or primitive, no prejudice equal to my blind assumption of superiority. I stopped trying to teach her and began to learn from her instead. (italics mine)
