Wow. This is really egregious and I have some background to add. The PI for this study was once my statistics professor. What a displeasure to have to think about him again.
John Michael Bailey is a "Professor of Psychology" at Northwestern University, and his illustrious career in human sexuality studies has produced a thoroughly vile and warped perspective on sex and gender. He was once a NU psychology chairman but stepped down in 2004 following the publication of his book "The Man Who Would Be Queen."
This book, in addition to being extremely unethical from a research perspective by not informing the subjects that they were being studied, peddles the same disgusting lies we have come to expect as foundational transmysoginistic talking points. This guy literally wrote the playbook. Trans women are confused gay men or autogynephilic deviants. He follows in the footsteps of Ray Blanchard as one of the primary advocates for autogynephilia theory.
In addition to his disgrace from the position of chairman of psychology, Bailey has not been allowed to teach his original class, Human Sexuality Studies, since a graphic class-related sexual demonstration in 2011. And the terrible decisions do not stop.
John Michael Bailey has testified during a trial in support of gender-affirming care bans as recently as 2024 and has used evidence from a web survey just like this one.
John Michael Bailey promoted the idea for almost 20 years that male bisexuals did not exist based on one study of his on 30 bisexual men.
John Michael Bailey has published research in 2001 arguing that it is morally acceptable for parents to use gene selection to choose to have only heterosexual children, should it become scientifically feasible. He has also spent a significant portion of his career in support for a genetic/germline explanation for homosexuality and has vigorously investigated what a "gay gene" might look like.
JOHN MICHAEL BAILEY IS A EUGENICIST. He has a long and fraught career littered with this type of research. In addition to everything I've shown, there is so much more.
One more running theme you might notice if you look into these articles further is Northwestern's complete and utter lack of a backbone. The administration has given John Michael Bailey second chance after second chance, and now is continuing to support him and promote his Project 2025-funded research. Just something to note.
Please take care of yourself and watch out for these studies that are looking to take advantage of you. And please spread the word about John Michael Bailey, because it is this exact type of man that the current administration is funneling their money into.
