Janice G. Raymond (born January 24, 1943) is an American lesbian radical feminist activist known for her work against violence, sexual exploitation and the "medical abuse" of women, as well as for her controversial writings and work in opposition to the transgender community. She is also the author of five books and multiple articles, translated into several languages, on issues ranging among transsexualism, violence against women, women’s health, feminist theory and bio-medicine. She has published numerous articles on prostitution and sex trafficking. She lectures internationally on many of these topics via Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. Her statements on transsexuality and transsexuals have been criticized by many in the LGBT and feminist communities as transphobic and as constituting hate-speech.
Janice G. Raymond is professor emerita of women's studies and medical ethics at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. She was a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst from 1978 on. When she retired from the University in 2002, the Boston Globe included her among the several “marquee talents” lost to the campus.
