Removal of sourced material

User:Swcoates' removal of quotations and sourced material from the Susan Coates article requires explanation here. I have reverted it until then. Susan Coates is a key figure in the pathologization of gender variance, especially the practice of reparative therapy aimed at curing gender identity disorder in children. Her 17 years as one of the key proponents of the practice in New York City led to her involvement in revising the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This is well-sourced and should be reflected in the article, as her work around the disease created in 1980 and called gender identity disorder is likely to be one of her most significant legacies.

Unwarranted claim about Coates being critical of Woody Allen

A few years ago a claim was inserted in the lemma that is not warranted by the two sources given. The claim is "Coates was a critic of Woody Allen's influence on his son Satchel after the Allen–Mia Farrow trial", the two sources are from the Washington Post and the New York Times. I have checked both sources, and neither has anything in the way of Dr Coates criticizing Woody Allen. On the contrary, Dr Coates' reported testimony in the custody case shows her as critical of Mia Farrow and supportive of Woody Allen as a parent. Without objection I will remove said claim within a week. Mcouzijn (talk) 18:15, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Views of Zucker and Coates on the mothers of feminine boys

From Spurlin 2019:

Additionally, as with the earlier research on homosexuality, Susan Coates and Kenneth Zucker, internationally-known experts on GIDC, have described mothers of feminine boys as overbearing and pathogenic through transferring their unresolved trauma on to their sons.

Recently there was some dispute over whether the view could be attributed to Coates and Zucker, or just to Coates. The source here attributes it to both. Hist9600 (talk) 02:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance or pertinence of Farrow's lawyer's statement

Someone added this statement to the paragraph about Coates, Mia Farrow, and Woody Allen: "Farrow's lawyer accused Coates of gullibility for having accepted Allen's version of events".

There is nothing factual about Coates' alleged 'gullibility'. Not even about Coates 'accepting Allen's version of events'.

As paid attorneys routinely attempt to discredit adverse parties during trials, I don't find the above statement noteworthy, relevant or pertinent, and I suggest removing it.Mcouzijn (talk) 06:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
