Ted Barlow vs. transgender people

Ted Barlow (born 1974) is a former J. Michael Bailey student at Northwestern University who wrote a biased undergraduate paper on transsexualism. Barlow’s paper is a good indication of how Bailey teaches students harmful ideas about gender identity and expression, sexuality, and attraction to transgender people.

Bailey’s exploitative undergraduate human sexuality course was permanently canceled by Northwestern in 2011.

Background

Barlow attended Northwestern from 1992–1996, earning a BS in psychology in 1996. His senior honors thesis was done with J. Michael Bailey, where Barlow served as a sort of wing man as they trolled Chicago bars for attractive young trans women to “research.”

He earned an MA in psychology from the University of Chicago in 1998 and an MBA from UT Austin in 2008. He has held various roles in the legal services industry in Texas.

Barlow had an extensive online presence as a blogger prior to going into legal services. He has since tried to minimize his connections to past published work.
