Abstract
This article resulted from my recent attendance at a conference on gender identity entitled `Atypical Gender Identity Development: Therapeutic Models, Philosophical and Ethical Issues' (2000). Although it featured presentations from pre-eminent clinical psychiatrists, psychologists and physicians in Britain, Canada and the United States, there was no reference to the feminist psychoanalytic and social psychology debates that have circulated in feminist psychology for years. In accounting for the absence of feminist scholarship, I consider three issues. First, rather than highlight the social construction of gender through the social construction of sex, the conference revealed a persistent belief in `sex' as the original sign through which gender is read. A second issue concerns the maturity hierarchy that clinicians seem to construct such that stable gender identification and `opposite' gender desire appear at the apex. Finally, I am concerned with what seems to be a continued association of homosexuality with pathology.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
