After having read Zucker's view of gender identity, and having been a victom of being raised by parents with similar views as Zucker as to plan of treatment for transsexuality, I ended up suffering from depression and wanting to kill myself. Not the type of results that any good psychiatrist wants to having in his or her patients.
