In 2007 CTV News recognized Eugene Pichler, the author, as an expert on the trans subject matter. Prior to publishing the book, Acceptable Losses, in 2008 Pichler published numerous articles on the subject of transsexuality on . He has interviewed over thirty individuals, including transsexuals, political activists, media personalities, academics and medical professionals for the website. From his research, Pichler came to the opinion that a surgical procedure of great interest to the transsexual community, gender reassignment surgery, is often performed based on medical misdiagnosis, without adequate screening procedures and with disastrous effects on its recipients.

Pichler, through transgression.com, began to advocate against public funding for gender reassignment surgery. Pichler's message was that gender reassignment surgery is a dramatic and irreversible surgical procedure that should not be publicly funded until more research has been completed on the underlying psychological and medical need for the surgery and the effect of the surgery.
