No they aren’t, they are afraid to speak out.

But behind closed doors people are in a real twist about this issue in the culture.

This has become the new leftist battering ram that threatens jobs and livelihoods.

there is one in my family and it is heartbreaking to see mental illness treated like a culture issue.

I want you to think about how this issue is treated in our current zeitgeist.

It is nice to see some movement on a subject that has been mired in 1950’s psychology. It is interesting that a such a “disease” that requires such drastic mutilation, has not been researched using post-millennial tools and techniques. When someone is “diagnosed” as transgender where are the CAT scans, MRIs, blood work, DNA work and other diagnostic techniques that would search for biological causation? None.

Where are the psychological diagnostic instruments that would confirm or deny? None.

Where are the trials of antipsychotics, antianxiety agents and psychotherapy to test the contents of the patient’s beliefs? None.

Where is the research about diagnostic decisions trees that include biological paradigms? None.

Instead we are told that the patient makes the diagnosis. Because they have felt like the opposite sex from their DNA since they can remember. Not accounting for the fact that in delusional processes, the past is incorporated in the delusions i.e.: when I treat the secretary who thinks she is the Queen of England, although her delusional onset may be recent (within a matter of months or days, at times) her delusions will include memories of being a child-queen, for acute delusional processes are often seamless.

Parents who arrive at schools and clinics with children dressed and raised as their DNA opposites are hailed as brave instead of studied as classic cases of Munchhausen by Proxy where parents seek attention by making up and believing the child is different, ill or diseased and providing symptoms and evidence to back the parent’s need.

McHugh is doing a service by raising these important issues in a world blinded by political correctness that engenders fear

The media is shoving them down our throats and we are not agreeing with them. It will all come home to roost.

Needing validation is spot on correct.

Tolerance — you know: putting up with something you don’t approve of because it would be a hassle to do more — is utterly unacceptable to these people.

Even acceptance has lost it’s zing with these loons.

No, they want, bare minimum, approval if not outright celebrating them in their ... whatever.

It’s like someone took the desire for conquest in the name of Sharia from Islam, or perchance more accurately the zeal for legal harassment and bullying from Scientology, and transferred it serve ... this ... Gaystapo ... thing.

We must submit to them or there will be trouble. That’s what they want at any rate.

Personally, I would be okay with women beating the crap out of any its they find the way you did.

Though considering most men’s rooms in the other circumstance we should instead probably be required to appologize and offer to clean up ... I mean, seriously ... it’s more than a foot long and wide fellas. I understand you’ve got an excuse of you’ve got Parkinson’s but if not....

Suggestion: Don't use the term 'gaslighting'. Few know it's meaning.

The better term I use is 'reality inversion'.

Did that transgendered “man”, who posed nude, show his constructed penis?

Target has family bathrooms, which is why they didn’t need to open up bathrooms to both sexes.

Isn’t wonderful what they are teaching our children in the Public Indoctrination centers these days. Everything but what they need to know!

And then the indoctrinaters themselves WANT MORE MONEY TO FURTHER INDOCTRINATE the kids!

So, transgenders don’t have to have any skills, because ... they’re oppressed?

When a mentally ill man in a dress sexually harasses a woman, it is treated as a spat between two women - not a sexual harassment case by a man. I know HR treated it differently, because when a former boss of mine asked if I’d get pregnant and quit (like a mentor of mine) and then harassed me about such questions, HR nailed his butt to the wall. When a mentally ill man pinned me in the bathroom and screamed at me because I looked at him funny as he followed me in, they made it into a personal argument and then demonized me for not wanting to share the facilities with him.

He had IT sys admin skills, that much I agree. But he wasn’t sane or a woman, and HR punished ME for holding and sticking to those views. The fact that he had fathered a son and still had sexual attraction to women was irrelevant to them.

I work with sane people now, at a totally different employer.
