I think the author's concern is overblown, though. As he admits, "To a certain extent, the evidence of a biological basis for sexuality - taken by many as proof that gay people are 'born this way' as opposed to being converted by outside forces - has helped to stop the rhetoric of social contagion." If in fact the "born this way" argument has increased social acceptance of gay people, I don't see why it wouldn't do the same for trans people
