Dr. McHugh believes the Johns Hopkins clinic’s reopening was motivated by economic and political factors, not scientific evidence. The complicated operations are big moneymakers for hospitals. That the new department’s name uses the politically correct designation "transgender," not the clinical term "gender dysphoria," and refers to the surgeries as "gender affirming," seems to support the view that the doctors have formally embraced transgender ideology.

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.

Pretty sad that federal prison inmates get their problem teeth yanked out rather than the state paying for fillings or root canals and crowns but let one claim he/she is a she/he and taxpayers must foot the bill for hormones and “gender reassignment” surgery!
