My name is Anjelica Kieltyka. I am at the very center of the “[J. Michael] Bailey controversy” at Northwestern [“Sex and Transsexuals,” December 12; Letters, December 19, January 2].
May I finally speak for myself?

Allow me to set the record straight on Rodkin’s not-so-straight reporting. Basically he “queered” the facts throughout his article.
As to my most important role as Transexual Advocate (something the whole Chicago transexual community and the Chicago TransHealth service community knew about), Dennis Rodkin never mentions it, ignoring this key aspect of my work with Bailey and the transexual women he exploited, just as Bailey did throughout his book.
