Written a year ago by the former chief of psychiatry at John Hopkins.
"The transgendered suffer a disorder of "assumption" like those in other disorders familiar to psychiatrists. With the transgendered, the disordered assumption is that the individual differs from what seems given in nature—namely one's maleness or femaleness. Other kinds of disordered assumptions are held by those who suffer from anorexia and bulimia nervosa, where the assumption that departs from physical reality is the belief by the dangerously thin that they are overweight."
"We at Johns Hopkins University—which in the 1960s was the first American medical center to venture into "sex-reassignment surgery"—launched a study in the 1970s comparing the outcomes of transgendered people who had the surgery with the outcomes of those who did not. Most of the surgically treated patients described themselves as "satisfied" by the results, but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn't have the surgery. And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a "satisfied" but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs.
It now appears that our long-ago decision was a wise one. A 2011 study at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden produced the most illuminating results yet regarding the transgendered, evidence that should give advocates pause. The long-term study—up to 30 years—followed 324 people who had sex-reassignment surgery. The study revealed that beginning about 10 years after having the surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties. Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable nontransgender population. This disturbing result has as yet no explanation but probably reflects the growing sense of isolation reported by the aging transgendered after surgery. The high suicide rate certainly challenges the surgery prescription."Comment

It's so very nice that you would be willing to sacrifice the well being of your daughter for the sake of political correctness. I asked what you would do if an obvious man, wearing a dress, tried to enter the bathroom that your daughter was in. Let's say she was 5 years old. You don't know that man from a hole in the wall. What if his only intention by wearing the dress was to get access to young girls? If a male pedophile wanted to prey on a child, would this not be the perfect setting? And you say you would have NO PROBLEM with this? Yes, you said you have no problem with your daughter using the bathroom with a transgendered person, but how do you know who is and who isn't? No reservations at all as he entered the bathroom? Would you stay outside as you would if it was a nother 5 year old girl entering the bathroom? You are a perfect example of the very disturbed world of political correctness.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What's the difference between this woman and Jenner? Shouldn't she be embraced for who she thinks she is?

Your example points out the stark difference in parties. Conservatives would've demanded Hastert's head on a platter if there were credible charges while he was in (or out of ) office. This lunatic 'black' woman will be celebrated by liberals.Comment
