357 marie-noelle BaechlerGender variant children and teenagers deserve a hilgly respectful and compassionnate treatement from caregivers. K. Zucker's pratcices have absolutely nothing to see with these two adjectives. Even worse, children and teenagers do not have the choice to refuse to "work" with him, as they are under the pressure of prejudiced parents. The consequences of such mistreatments are terrible for them. K. Zucker does not deserve to have a place in this conference.
358 kate matthewsThis man does not belong anywhere near a conference on gender identity... His "theories" and practices are a relic of the past, so why isn't he?

361 Caitlin KellyIt doesn't really make sense to have a transphobic individual speak on "gender identity disorder"--just like it wouldn't make sense to have a homophobic individual speak on whether homosexuality should have been taken out of the DSM. I believe GID is outdated. Times are changing, and it's time to abolish this sort of unethical discrimination.

363 AnonymousAs both someone who is Transgender and the parent of a Transgender child, I am insulted and saddened by the thought of this person receiving such an honour.

365 Radha Smith, MSWDr. Zucker's theories fly in the face of current biological research on-going the world around. His own "thought-experiment" -type researches simply contribute to the push to delay imlementation of "best-practices" work with children and adults who are diagnosed with mental illness. Dr. Zucker's methods have not been shown in any way to be effective, instead they tend to produce people who come as older adults to a realization they had in childhood: that their transseuality must be treated. Such delays and inhibitory interventions violate the first principle of all work in mental health: "Do no harm." Please take this into deep consideration before allowing this man to push his "brainwashing" techniques to large and influential audiences. He should be seen for what he is: a reparative, brainwashing therapist who's sense of personal propriety and comfort clouds his concern for the well-being of his subjects.

367 Tia Mc Guinness, JD, PhD, MBAThis is an absolute disgrace to allow a known bigot and academic fraud such an opportunity to address the Royal Society conference on "Gender Identity Disorder in Adolescents". It greatly tarnishes the reputation of the R.S. of M.

373 Michael SMen like Kenneth Zucker are the reason we have so many lgbt youths committing suicide and feeling like they don't belong. When a man from the medical profession tells people they are wrong or not normal people actually take that to heart. He should not be allowed to speak at this conference.

375 Carina KrapivinaDr. Zucker would be a wise man to enjoy recent studies of transsexuality and gender issues so he can become a really "modern" psychiatrist. He is a bit... outdated, as he is now.

392 Jan Rachel FriedmanDr Zucker is a hater. His attitudes, and the fact that he holds such sway over Canadian policy and gender identity clinics (and to some extent those in other countries) means that he is directly responsible for continued hardships of all trans people and the deaths of trans people of color. His "theories" are not morally equivalent to our lives.
393 Alex HereDr. Zucker seems to be one of those people who, annoyed that they are not allowed to "cure" GLB people any more, now turn on gender variant people to fulfill their power phantasies. Sick, plain and simple.
394 Brandon LeeMr. Zucker fails to listen to the transgendered community and as such should not be given a place of advisory about our needs.

396 Debra SoshouxKen Zucker stands at the very forefront of a professional psychology elite that harms rather that helps gender variant people, and children especially. He is a spectacularly inappropriate person to have invited to your conference. Please reconsider.
397 Nick Ellison
398 Linnea GutierrezDr Zucker's opinions regarding GID are harmful to young people.
399 ScottAs a transman, this selection offends me deeply.
