What does science teach about transgenderism? Dr. Paul McHugh, chief of psychiatry at John Hopkins Hospital from 1975 to 2001, saw transgenderism as a mental health problem.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...51e56e-0d85-11e7-ab07-07d9f521f6b5_story.html

Nearly four decades after he derailed a pioneering transgender program at Johns Hopkins Hospital with his views on “guilt-ridden homosexual men,” psychiatrist Paul McHugh is seeing his institution come full circle with the resumption of gender-reassignment surgeries.

McHugh, the hospital’s chief of psychiatry from 1975 to 2001, still believes that being transgender is largely a psychological problem, not a biological phenomenon. And with the title of university distinguished service professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine, he continues to wield enormous influence in certain circles and is quoted frequently on gender issues in conservative media.

“I’m not against transgender people,” he said recently, stressing that he is “anxious they get the help they need.”

“I’m not against transgender people,” he said recently, stressing that he is “anxious they get the help they need.”

Paul McHugh's bigoted ideas have been rejected by Johns Hopkins and they restarted their gender identity program more than 2 years ago.

Many scientists subsequently challenged the methodology behind Meyer’s study, as well as his interpretation of the results, but in the decade that followed, other academic hospitals often cited the research when they discontinued their own transgender surgical programs.

The decision to restart operations initially was made public in July and then repeated in October on the health system’s website in a letter titled “Johns Hopkins Medicine’s Commitment to the LGBT Community.” The letter stressed “strong and unambiguous” support of the LGBT community and made clear that when “individuals associated with Johns Hopkins exercise the right of expression, they do not speak on behalf of the institution.”

McHugh is a religious fraud who time has passed by.

“It’s very ambitious in terms of the magnitude of what you’re trying to do,” he says. “Sewing 1-millimeter blood vessels together under the microscope is a very high stakes operation.”

Since the center opened in 2017, O’Brien Coon has performed roughly 150 gender affirming surgeries — at least a dozen of them phalloplasties; more surgeries are scheduled into August 2019. So far, nearly 900 people have requested transgender health related services that include primary care and hormone therapy.

“When we opened the Center for Transgender Health, we knew we were filling a largely unmet need for our patients. But the center’s reach and impact has exceeded all of our expectations,” says Redonda G. Miller, president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

its a hoax

So, you think science has come to its senses because Johns Hopkins University has now reversed the course they held for the last 45 years?

Yes. You cannot make a transgendered not transgendered with drugs and counseling, as McHugh tried to claim. He is as wrong as John Money was.

Paul McHugh is a religious fraud who made the critical scientific mistake of allowing his religious beliefs to interfere with medical science and for that action, he was rejected by the medical community and sent away because he had lost any objectivity and respectability.

Like Obama, McHugh was "sent away." Unlike Obama, McHugh was in charge at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 25 years before he was "sent away."

Barack Obama was term-limited to 8 years. Paul McHugh was sent away because he allowed his personal beliefs that we not supported by empirical facts, to determine the results of his research and to decide on the treatment of transgendered people. Medince is about empirical facts and how it is best to treat people, and not forcing others to obey his religious beliefs. Science and religion are polar opposites.

Like I said, McHugh was "sent away" after 25 years on the job. Obama was "sent away" after only 8. That's how to spin the narrative if you insist on using the term "sent away."

Obama, unlike Paul McHugh. wasn't sent away from his job because of his incompetance.
 
Wiser than God are they?

Can you prove that any god actually exists, except as faith and belief, which are emotional decisions based on the lack of fact?

2.strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

When forming personal convictions, we often interpret factual evidence through the filter of our values, feelings, tastes, and past experiences. Hence, most statements we make in speaking and writing are assertions of fact, opinion, belief, or prejudice. The usefulness and acceptability of an assertion can be improved or diminished by the nature of the assertion, depending on which of the following categories it falls into:

A fact is verifiable. We can determine whether it is true by researching the evidence. This may involve numbers, dates, testimony, etc. (Ex.: "World War II ended in 1945.") The truth of the fact is beyond argument if one can assume that measuring devices or records or memories are correct. Facts provide crucial support for the assertion of an argument.
 
transgenderism = mental illness, no different than those running Naked through a public park claiming to be god.

Why would you be concerned about a group of people that have zero interest in hurting you, or society in general for that matter?

Have you ever really interacted with Transgendered people? I have many many times, and all they want is to be accepted without the typical stereotypical pre conditions. I frequented a bar owned by a transgendered couple for years, and there were truck drivers, ship builders, nurses, and lawyers in there every night.

I follow the belief of what ever gets you through this life.

I think it is important to agree with God about sexual perversion and fornication, even for those who may have trouble understanding why.

think we are better off doing away with gender and letting people of either sex or who fall outside of them do just about anything the other sex can get away with

and body modification to resemble another sex seem fine if people want them enough

hell give it a century or 2 you can probably biologically be what ever sex you want to artificially rather then just looking like a male or a female

not being comfortable with your body is a problem but if you can change it so that you like it better then that seems like a good solution

not being comfortable with what other people do with their bodys also seems like a problem
