Nancy Henley was an American psychologist and sibling of the birth parent of notorious transgender troll Kiira Triea aka Denise Magner. Henley’s sibling Dorothy Main Magner was Magner’s birth parent. Magner incorporated aspects of Henley’s work and life into a fabricated autobiography. Magner was also involved in maintaining Johns Hopkins email servers through family connections there.
Background
Nancy Eloise Main Henley was born on October 27, 1934 in Palatka, Florida. Henley began her education at Johns Hopkins after getting married and starting a family, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1964, a master’s degree in 1967, and a doctorate in 1968. Henley was affiliated with University of Maryland, Baltimore County from 1968–1971, Lowell Technological Institute/University of Lowell, from 1974–1980, and University of California, Los Angeles from 1980–1994. Most of Henley’s writing was on gender, feminism, language, and the social psychology of power.
Henley retired to Glen Burnie, Maryland and died there from a stroke on June 4, 2016.
My name is Andrea James. I am a writer and activist based here in Los Angeles. You can read about my work at the link below. Like you, my areas of interest include gender and violence (I have done anti-violence projects with Jane Fonda and Eve Ensler as well as Patti Giggans at Peace Over Violence/LACAAW), and I know much of your work covers these topics.
I am writing to you because I am doing some fact checking on an upcoming project, and I am interested in profiling a woman named Denise Tree, who says she is your niece. In the interest of being thorough, I felt it would be prudent to confirm this directly with you prior to publication.
Below is the quotation from Denise that prompted my note (presented verbatim):
“I strongly reccommend _Language, Gender and Society_ ed. in part by my aunt, Nancy Henley. Chock full of good reading about sex dichotymous verbal and non-verbal communications and also how “sex” is hardwired into language itself.
🙂 Yes it’s afavorite – The Estelle and Dorothy in the dedication is my grandmother and mother.”
Because the dedication in your book Language, Gender and Society lists Estella, not Estelle, I felt I should confirm with you. Denise also says your sister Dorothy lived in the Philippines in the 1950s and was in a relationship with Denise’s father, a Finnish man. She says Dorothy gave birth to her on Clark Air Base in the Philippines and later moved from Finland to Baltimore in the 1960s, where Dorothy married someone else.
If Denise is your niece, I hope you understand that I am merely trying to be as thorough as possible in my fact-checking. I have been doing research for a long time, and my instincts told me I should confirm this information directly with you. If this information about your sister is not correct, I obviously do not want to publish any misinformation, and I would like to get a correction out there.
Thanks for any confirmation you can provide. I will follow up with a call as well, and I appreciate your time!
Sincerely, Andrea
I did not receive a reply.

Dr. Ousterhout retired in 2014, and his practice was taken over by Jordan Deschamps-Braly.
Douglas K. Ousterhout (born August 30, 1935) is an American plastic surgeon who popularized facial feminization surgery for transgender women through a series of innovative techniques starting in 1982 until his retirement in 2014. For over 30 years “Dr. O,” as he was affectionately called, performed facial feminization for many trans people, including Lynn Conway, Donna Rose, Nicole Hamilton, and myself.
Jordan Deschamps-Braly trained directly with Dr. O for years before taking over his practice. I recommend making Dr. Deschamps-Braly your primary consideration for any work you’d like to have done.
Dr. O purchased a vineyard after retiring and produces Ousterhout Wine.
My experiences
I had facial feminization surgery in 1996, and it still remains the best investment I have ever made. Period. Since I wrote about my experiences, many other women have shared their experiences and results. I’m very proud to have raised awareness of the life-changing potential of this option.
Excellent 185-page consumer overview of available procedures, with many illustrations and images. I highly recommend it for anyone considering these procedures, as it is the definitive consumer guide. It includes an introduction by Donna Rose, who, like me, had life-changing results from these procedures. Both of us are among the many patients who consented to having our results included in the book.

In 1992 Kirk retired from active practice and as Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Pittsburgh to work with the International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE) as a medical consultant to the trans and gender diverse community. Kirk was the first trans surgeon elected to the board of HBIGDA. Kirk also served on the editorial board of the International Journal of Transgender Health (then International Journal of Transgenderism) and was a member of TransPitt and the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA).
Kirk’s medical information books were important pre-internet resources. Following decades of service to the community, Kirk retired from activism and moved to South Carolina.
