I'm glad that you kept it here, Lori. I'm not an expert, but I've always believed the theory was more applicable to the Type III & IV TGs than the Type V & VI TSs. Already there are people in this thread with whom this resonates, and it would be a pity to put this thread in a place where all the points will be slammed, for everyone.
Another thing to consider ... many of our TSs here will be the first to say there are some non-TSs (or rather, Type III or IV TGs) who seek to transition, for different reasons perhaps than the Type V or VI TSs. This is not unheard of, they ask questions in the TS section all the time.
These Type III and IV may well identify as TS even if only for a period of several years. Might there be a possibility then, that these are the TSs referred to in the paper? The people who identified as TS but who were Type III and IV?
