Thank you for posting
>>Now, Doctors are beginning to speak out like Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper, who exposes the fact that the medical community is afraid to speak out on the topic.
Too much of the medical community don’t HEAL their patients, they milk their clients for unnecessary procedures and milk them along for routine visits and followup shots.
Not surprised
More health care costs for evil white people to pay for?
Spay and Neuter has consequences
It would be a major “doh!” moment after undergoing all those mutilating surgeries and changing one’s mind when there’s no real way to “go back”. Yikes.
They just need a new slogan.
“Be all that you were never meant to be”.
“Be true to your desires, no matter what science says or reality appears.”
“Don’t project your science on me.”
Any professional suppressing truth and/or cause for caution should lose his or her license.
Besides isn’t transgender regret pretty much against the law like gender dysphobia reversal treatments?
Yes, I regret ever hearing about the phenomenon.
0.01% of the population give a damn about this twisted disease and yet it’s constantly in the news and on blogs like this.
Another excellent article:
Former Johns Hopkins head psychiatrist: ‘transgender surgery isn’t the solution’
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/former-johns-hopkins-head-psychiatrist-transgender-surgery-isnt-the-solutio
From link:
In a June 12 Wall Street Journal op-ed, Dr. Paul McHugh wrote that “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered” by not treating transgender “confusions ... as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”
Dr. Paul McHugh says the best way to help children struggling with their gender is not surgery but “devoted parenting.”
According to McHugh, the “sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects.” The first, he says, is that “it does not correspond with physical reality.” The second, more importantly, is that not treating transgender disorder properly “can lead to grim psychological outcomes.”
In his op-ed, McHugh cited a 2011 study that followed “324 sex-reassigned persons” from 1973 to 2003 in Sweden. According to the study’s abstract, it found that “persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.”
“Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group,” the authors wrote.
The study, McHugh wrote in his op-ed, found 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.”
McHugh says that Johns Hopkins “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,” he explained.
Thus, says McHugh, “we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a ‘satisfied’ but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs.”
McHugh, who is also known as a prominent Catholic who served on President George W. Bush’s Presidential Council on Bioethics, has written about the Johns Hopkins study before. In a 2004 piece for First Things, he concluded that medical and psychological professionals “have wasted scientific and technical resources and damaged our professional credibility by collaborating with madness rather than trying to study, cure, and ultimately prevent it.”
Once again we see medical experimentation writ large. What is it with medical doctors? Why do so many engage in atrocities so cavalierly?
Agreed. But way too often the problem is the license board puts pressure on the professionals to toe the woketard line or risk losing their license.
I have an anecdotal sample of exactly one. A former student started wearing dresses, etc. He wasn’t a handsome guy, and looked absurd posing as a woman.
A colleague has kept in touch with him. He apparently underwent the surgery required for him to maintain the illusion. She reports that he is now extremely depressed, no doubt because no matter what has been removed/added/modified he still isn’t a woman and of course never will be.
Anecdotally my experience is that the rate of regret is 100%. I only know of one person (through my son) that has done this. According to my son, his friend now regrets having done it.
What’s the suicide rate for transgenders?
So then it might be a mental issue? And what kind of medical screening process allows someone to modify their body when there might be due to an underlying mental problem. The credentialed doctors who approve of surgery and hormone treatment should be brought up on charges. Or at least, their licenses revoked.
Some comments about Bruce Jenner in this one.
Transgenderism: A Pathogenic Meme
June 10, 2015 By Paul McHugh
The idea that one’s sex is a feeling, not a fact, has permeated our culture and is leaving casualties in its wake. Gender dysphoria should be treated with psychotherapy, not surgery.
