"Psychiatrist says sex-change surgery is a collaboration with a mental disorder, not a treatment."

True perhaps but it does take them out of the gene pool

Yeah, but adoption is still an option.

From an eminent MD who's just given a presentation on the subject to the APA:

Hi Zoe,

Yes, we gave our presentation to 60 plus psychiatrists from the US, AU, FR, IT, EU, UK, Holland etc.

We spoke for 2 1/2 hours on why cross gender identity was a normal inherited variation of humans. We showed how Transgender Brains think, smell, and hear like the opposite sex. We presented internationally accepted guidelines for hormonal treatment of transsexuals to be published Summer 2009.

Here are my slides and with my participants' permission I shall send you theirs. We are now in print in the APA Syllabus and soon in the APA Journal this summer. I am checking if we were recorded.

My greatest personal compliment came from Frank Kruijver, from Holland, whose research of the human brain in TSs started it all. He thought we have taken his work very far in our understanding of the human brain.

Hope you can do something with this.

Sid Ecker, M.D.

Dr Ecker's slides are available at OII Australia - Organisation Intersex International, a representative group for Intersexed people, those born with biological differences from the standard male or female.

Dr Eckers conclusions are based on studies involving autopsies, MRI scans, and experiments in multiple disciplines conducted by many independant labs in different countries.

One more thing that the article doesn't mention - that Dr Zucker's "cure" results is high suicide rates, and that he attempts to pursuade the children that they are merely gay instead of transsexual.

Neither Dr McHugh's article, nor Dr Fitzgibbons' has been accepted by any medical journals, as they have no evidence whatsoever to back up their claims, merely conjecture and one highly flawed study conducted 30 years ago, which has been contradicted by over 300 studies since.
