Full title: John Hopkins Psychiatrist: Gender Confusions Are Mostly Driven by Psychological and Psychosocial Problems
Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University and former psychiatristin-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, who has studied transgendered people for 40 years, believes that patients suffering gender dysphoria need psychological care not gender reassignment treatment.
I think their mental problems, often depression, discouragement are the things that need treatment, Dr. McHugh, who has argued that it is a scientific fact that transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men, told The College Fix in an interview published Tuesday:
I believe that these gender confusions are mostly being driven by psychological and psychosocial problems these people have. That explains the rapid onset gender dysphoria (Brown University Researcher) Lisa Littman has spelled out.

My child was diagnosed with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a side effect of which is hyperandrogenism. She is one of the unfortunate 12% that also experience gender dysphoria due to the extraordinarily high levels of free floating adrenal androgens in her system. They are attaching to the androgen receptors in her brain and being recognized as testosterone.
There is no cure for her condition.
She will not need reassignment surgery. Her hyperandrogenism is masculinizing her body for her. It is painful watching my formerly beautiful baby girl morph into a man. Masculine body hair, her back spreading out like a man, a man’s neck muscles and legs, her once heart-shaped face squaring out along the jawline.
Not all trans people are nuts. Some are genuinely androgynous and wouldn’t wish their condition on their worst enemy.
Just remember there are transgenders and trans-trenders. Trans-trenders are the attention seeking rubes. True transgenders just want to be left alone or be judged by the measure of their character, not the shell they can’t control.
“John Hopkins Psychiatrist: Gender Confusions Are Mostly Driven by Psychological and Psychosocial Problems “
Duh!!
Captain Obvious to the rescue
Noted, thanks for your heart-felt input.
Agreed, but as is the exception to the ‘rule’, please read #61 on this thread.
I’m aware there are people who have actual physical or mental issues that they’re born with and that’s been happening all along.
I was just pointing out that schools are confusing young children with this curriculum, plus hoping to make more people aware of the curriculum. The schools are hiding it best they can from the parents.
The speaker printed off and handed out a little of what the kids see on their computer screens during class and it is sick.
He’ll be ok. He’s been talking this way for years. I truly admire him. What he is saying reflects thousands of pages of controlled studies that the public will never hear about.
I’m aware of what you meant, I just mentioned there was an exception to the norm here on this thread.
What, you haven't seen these in the mainstream media, either?
Ever wonder why?

I admit he's been ambiguous and contradictory and all over the map on sex and gender issues, but he has been surprisingly strong on statements against the radical gender ideology.
I was discussing with my niece this afternoon some of those very same things, especially the part about tats on women and how in the 30s-40s no one left the house without getting properly dressed. She loves the fashion of those days - pencil skirt below the knees with the split hem in the back, gloves, small hat, stockings with the back seam... the whole bit. All of that was before my time (1956), but ‘way’ before hers (1990). Hopefully, ‘what goes around, comes around’, and women will start dressing again. Personally, I’d love to get dressed up like that - nothing too fancy, just presentably correct, and finished.
Well, what the hell else could it be?

Disagree. Toddlers have gender dysphoria. Its a neurological problem.
And anyone with the unpleasant feeling that you arent the gender you are created to be IS GOING TO HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS.
Yes, and it’s a rough, sad exception to the rule. One that nothing can be done about and that makes it all the more heartbreaking.
I’m waiting for the Pope’s thoughts to evolve. I’m almost certain that it will because if he can overlook the errors that is mentioned in the article for the sake of listening and fluidity then he will surely embrace the radical ideology of gender theory. Those are the dominant voices and it’s just a matter of time till he agrees with them. To be fluid your thinking has to evolve.
Sorry Mrs. Don-o, the errors I was referring to is in this post:

Funny thing is the ones I know, kind of tired of the whining and moaning of the homosexuals, like "you think YOU got it bad? Shaddup!!"
Truth is treason in an empire of lies.
I believe that Johns Hopkins stopped doing sex reassignment surgeries a decade ago for the very reason that the suicide rate remained at least as bad with the surgery as without. Please correct me if that was a myth.
—The fault, dear Brutus, lies not between your legs, but between your ears.
The "therapeutic" community is now engaged in what amounts to recruitment and grooming of vulnerable young people.
Wow.
In my experience many nurses are true leftists who vote leftist
