My Lord, Michelle is classic goofball, nice girl but neurotic.
Eric's Mom was a trip.
Love the Seinfeld episode where Kramer blows the shrinks mind.
Who knew?
But he is in his 80s so he won't be there long.
A fairly long article but worth the read.
Here is the reason for the entire Transgender movement.
Money
Who would have guessed?
Insurance typically will only pay for about a month of psychiatric therapy (as I remember).
But surgical care is not nearly as limited.
You’re not going to cure anyone of gender dysphoria in a month and your not going to buy a house in the Hamptons treating a dozen or so people a year with the condition.
But do surgery on a dozen or so transgenders a year and you have your house in the Hamptons.
That itself is the grace of God, for I am sure the vindictive rage of the Left and prohomosexual activists has been laid against him for daring to oppose its agenda.
Most current Johns Hopkins medical students, Dr. McHugh says, won’t talk to him. "They think that my views must be motivated by hatred," he says, sounding baffled.
That reaction is one itself that should be a subject of psychoanalysis, as a product of indoctrination by those who engage in the psychological tactics of the Left :
" It can show them being criticized, hated, shunned. It can depict gays experiencing horrific suffering as the direct result of homohatred-suffering of which even most bigots would be ashamed to be the cause. It can, in short, link homohating bigotry with all sorts of attributes the bigot would be ashamed to possess, and with social consequences he would find unpleasant and scary... our effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof." ( After the Ball)
Sometimes psychiatry’s cure is far worse than the disease.
A true statement.
Dr. McHugh argues that the treatment of returning soldiers for the liberally applied PTSD diagnosis is another example of iatrogenesis. Such diagnoses are far rarer among Israel Defense Forces veterans, who experience plenty of trauma. Israelis "know that you can get a terrible psychological reaction out of a traumatic battle. And they do take the soldiers out, and they tell them the following: ‘This is perfectly normal; you need to be out of battle for a while. Don’t think that this is a disease that’s going to hurt you, this is like grief. You’re going to get over it, it’s normal. And within a few weeks, after a little rest, we’re going to put you back with your comrades and you’re going to go back to work.’ And they all do."By contrast, American psychiatrists say: " ‘You’ve had a permanent wound. You’re going to be on disability forever. And this country has mistreated you by putting you in a false war.’ They make chronic invalids of them. That’s the difference."
The possibility that Dr. McHugh is wrong doesn’t trouble him. "Either the plastic surgeons and the transgender psychiatrists are right and I’m wrong—and if that’s the case, they will have done a lot of good by opposing me, and I will have been a drag on the system—or the opposite. Suppose they’re wrong and I’m right? They will have mutilated thousands of children, and I will look good. Who do you think is sleeping better at night?"
What is sure is that God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified - and only condemned homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

>>He says shuttering the clinic was a matter of adhering to the Hippocratic Oath and the scientific obligation to ground conclusions in empirical evidence.
Empirical evidence means little to the politically motivated. It’s why we are where we are with climate change hysteria as well.
Shrinks seeing dollar signs. It was probably a mistake to include mental health on insurance plans.
Talk about Orwellian speak right out of 1984. "Gender affirming surgery" is anything but that. It is the complete denial and desecration and shunning of one's own gender. "Gender affirming" my ass.

If someone has a problem with his sex, he needs to adjust his mental attitude to reality, not chop off his schmeckel and let his hair grow long.
Even as an ignorant undergrad I could see that there was nothing scientific about it. The events of the past 40 years or so have underscored it.
Psychiatrists/psychologists are the reason (the vile plague known as) homosexuality is eating away at civilization. Psychiatrists/psychologists are the reason tens of thousands of clinically insane people are roaming the streets and living in tents/boxes.
The success rate of psych experiments validating the original hypothesis is 3 times higher than in the hard sciences. This indicates that psychologist use experiments to prove what they already hope is true, not to seek what actually is true.
It makes no difference who says it isn't. The fact remains.
Such people should be regarded with kindness and assistance, as should those suffering form any congenital abnormality, but to say that this affliction is normal is simply not the truth.
