A Voice in the Wilderness

One of the hardest things to do nowadays it seems is to not only tell truths but to listen to what is said and honestly consider it.

 Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is ‘Mental Disorder;' Sex Change ‘Biologically Impossible’
(CNSNews.com) --  Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

Dr. McHugh, the author of six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles, made his remarks in a recent commentary in the Wall Street Journal, where he explained that transgender surgery is not the solution for people who suffer a “disorder of ‘assumption’” – the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned to them biologically.

He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.”~snip~
Probably the saddest thing happening right now,because of the media enablers and cowardly or complicit politicians, is society seems to be hell bet on failing people with this disorder. By encouraging their delusions and enabling them to continue on to the point of mutilation of these individuals bodies they are actually contributing to suicides.
The refusal to treat or recognize the underlying disorder will be just another way that liberal/progressives have failed to advocate for another minority leaving them to fend for themselves in society.
