After speaking to Stefanie Hirsch on Wednesday morning (she e-mailed me off my
web page; from there it was a snap for me to get the ball rolling by forwarding
her message to the natural weaning community on-line), I have
considerable hope that she is serious about researching the piece and
presenting it in a way that doesn't make us all look like freaks.

I am not surprised that she feels compelled to find a opposing person for
"balance"  This is what I've heard called the "centrist bias" of the press:
present two wildly opposing views as if they are of equal value and proclaim
the truth to be somewhere in the middle.  Maybe we can give her a name of an
"expert" who will proclaim this to be sexual abuse, but not have a crumb of
scientific evidence to back it up.  Next to our articulate, learned and funny
Dr. Kathy D., that person will look like the idiot s/he is.
