Can’t find a boyfriend?
Being a lesbian ain’t what it’s cracked up to be?
He’s getting tired of taping it every morning.
This is why it used to be considered a psychiatric issue and not a medical one.
That was before politics trumped health.
The suicide rate for transsexual surgery is high. Any other practice with such rates would be outlawed as harmful.
So really he is a Cross-dresser and not trans. What a hot mess. Those Kardasians can destroy your life.
Who is going to want such a mess of a man?
The only reason why he went transgender was to avoid a possible prison sentence in a male jail.
Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is a ‘Mental Disorder’– Sex Change is ‘Biologically Impossible’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3195117/posts
Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospitaland 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.”
While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Timemagazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”
The pro-transgender advocates do not want to know, said McHugh, that studies show between 70% and 80% of children who express transgender feelings “spontaneously lose those feelings” over time. Also, for those who had sexual reassignment surgery, most said they were “satisfied” with the operation “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,” said Dr. McHugh.
The former Johns Hopkins chief of psychiatry also warned against enabling or encouraging certain subgroups of the transgendered, such as young people “susceptible to suggestion from ‘everything is normal’ sex education,” and the schools’ “diversity counselors” who, like “cult leaders,” may “encourage these young people to distance themselves from their families and offer advice on rebutting arguments against having transgender surgery.”
Dr. McHugh also reported that there are “misguided doctors” who, working with very young children who seem to imitate the opposite sex, will administer “puberty-delaying hormones to render later sex-change surgeries less onerous – even though the drugs stunt the children’s growth and risk causing sterility.”
Such action comes “close to child abuse,” said Dr. McHugh, given that close to 80% of those kids will “abandon their confusion and grow naturally into adult life if untreated ….”
“’Sex change’ is biologically impossible,” said McHugh. “People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.”
He’ll always be Bruce Jenner to most of us.
Shaking my head...
Why of all of the species who breathe on this planet, HUMANS are the most F’UP!!!
Some great design...
No surprise.
When Jenner’s transition hit the news a year or so ago, there were articles going back to the 1990s. One of those said Jenner was supposed to start the breast enlargements, but declined and chose to stay ‘male’ for a while longer.
It seems Jenner needs therapy more than operations and sex-change drugs. Being in the headlines for the last year have not helped Jenner’s mental state.
If she is into women, why can’t she be a transgender lesbian?
Probably getting tired of the long lines at the ladies room and having to sit down to pee.
I blame the kardashians for this debacle. they are just that lethal.
bruce is just lucky that he didn’t decide to have it removed. there’s no changing your mind after that.
The publicity Whore has just learned that he as a she just don’t $ell:-)
I have always had a nagging feeling this whole episode was a publicity stunt.
If HE just would have been treated for his mental illness HE would be okay.
Just do something and then go away!
He’s already a Dick with Ears...
Sounds like he is coming to grips with his mental illness (which is what gender confusion is). Either that, or the GREAT HEALER HIMSELF, has been accepted by Bruce and working within him. Hopefully both.
