Essays

My ideas as expressed here have probably changed, especially if the date is more than a few months old. I have these posted as records of what I used to think. Some of it may be what I still think but there's no guarantee of that. I am making a renewed effort to post my updated ideas on these matters. Please check back or e-mail me if you have specific comments or questions. Thanks

Autogynephilia, a Narrative pdf version of this article McGhee (Last Update Feb 21, 2006)	My understanding of the psychological forces involved and what I learned from being involved in the conflict over autogynephilia in a minor way - including a look at Michael Bailey's controversial book, The Man Who Would Be Queen .
People believe what feels good, they just use their brains to justify it. McGhee (August, 2004)	My take on an article by Michael Shermer of Scientific American Magazine writing about what humans really use their brains for. His articles on this got me looking into memetics and brain science and I'm grateful.
MtF (Male to Female) Transgender Expression McGhee (February, 2004)	My very off-the-wall theory of how males can become straight, homosexual, early-onset or late-onset transsexuals. Reading it now I think there are germs of truth in there - but I'd write it much differently today.
Genes and Green Memes McGhee (Feb. 2004)	A view of the liberal / conservative battle that rages around us.
Memes, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly McGhee (June, 2003)	I wrote this shortly after I started reading about memetics. I couldn't really grasp the idea of memes. So I tried to write an article explaining what I thought I understood.
Just How Smart Are We McGhee (June, 2003)	My very own 2003 model of how the human brain works. One advantage of not having a lot of knowledge is that one's imagination can roam without restrictions - as mine has here.
http://www.genderpsychology.org/	This isn't a paper or article. It's a link to a very valuable resource on the web for transsexuals or anyone who wants to understand more about transsexualism.
