The National Academies Press (NAP) was created to publish the reports issued by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). It publishes nearly 200 books a year on a wide range of topics in the sciences.
In 2003, its trade imprint Joseph Henry Press published one of the most salacious and defamatory books on transgender people ever written: The Man Who Would Be Queen by J. Michael Bailey.
The incident was a turning point in transgender history.
