I Hate To Burst Obama's Bubble ~ But Transgenderism Is A Liberal Society Created Fallacy!

I HATE TO BURST OBAMA'S BUBBLE ~ But, finally a person with the appropriate pedigree and credentials speaks out on the problem our secular cultural society has created within their own self-created bubble of "protecting the poor transgendered soul."  Below are bullets from a great article written by Paul McHugh, MD, a University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School, and the former psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital.  

Read these selected excerpts from his article.  Then if you, like me, want to get the full impact of Dr. McHugh's explanation of the problems being created and lurking behind the amoral Liberal Left's push to eliminate all gender identification, through their selling of the idea of transgenderism and in their efforts to be bigger than God, then you should read the full article.   The URL link is provided below.

However, God has already addressed the amoral Liberal Left's problem:

"How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!  For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High' "  (Isaiah 14:12-14).

 
The following excerpts are from "Transgenderism: A Pathogenic Meme" by Dr. Paul McHugh - June 10th, 2015:

But the meme - that your sex is a feeling, not a biological fact, and can change at any time - marches on through our society.  In a way, it’s reminiscent of the Hans Christian Andersen tale, "The Emperor’s New Clothes." 

In that tale, the Emperor, believing that he wore an outfit of special beauty imperceptible to the rude or uncultured, paraded naked through his town to the huzzahs of courtiers and citizens anxious about their reputations.  Many onlookers to the contemporary transgender parade, knowing that a disfavored opinion is worse than bad taste today, similarly fear to identify it as a misapprehension. .  .  .

First, though, let us address the basic assumption of the contemporary parade: the idea that exchange of one’s sex is possible.  It, like the storied Emperor, is starkly, nakedly false.  Transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men.  All (including Bruce Jenner) become feminized men or masculinized women, counterfeits or impersonators of the sex with which they “identify.”  In that lies their problematic future.

When “the tumult and shouting dies,” it proves not easy nor wise to live in a counterfeit sexual garb.  The most thorough follow-up of sex-reassigned people - extending over thirty years and conducted in Sweden, where the culture is strongly supportive of the transgendered - documents their lifelong mental unrest.

Ten to fifteen years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to twenty times that of comparable peers. .  .  .

The central issue with all transgender subjects is one of assumption - the assumption that one’s sexual nature is misaligned with one’s biological sex. .  .  .

+++++++++++++++++++

Based on the photographic evidence one might guess Bruce Jenner falls into the group of men who come to their disordered assumption through being sexually aroused by the image of themselves as women. .  .  .

+++++++++++++++++++

Most young boys and girls who come seeking sex-reassignment are utterly different from Jenner.  They have no erotic interest driving their quest.  Rather, they come with psychosocial issues - conflicts over the prospects, expectations, and roles that they sense are attached to their given sex - and presume that sex-reassignment will ease or resolve them.

The grim fact is that most of these youngsters do not find therapists willing to assess and guide them in ways that permit them to work out their conflicts and correct their assumptions.  Rather, they and their families find only “gender counselors” who encourage them in their sexual misassumptions. .  .  .

+++++++++++++++++++

What is needed now is public clamor for coherent science - biological and therapeutic science - examining the real effects of these efforts to “support” transgendering.  Although much is made of a rare “intersex” individual, no evidence supports the claim that people such as Bruce Jenner have a biological source for their transgender assumptions.  Plenty of evidence demonstrates that with him and most others, transgendering is a psychological rather than a biological matter.

In fact, gender dysphoria - the official psychiatric term for feeling oneself to be of the opposite sex - belongs in the family of similarly disordered assumptions about the body, such as anorexia nervosa and body dysmorphic disorder.  .  .  .

+++++++++++++++++++

The idea that one’s sex is fluid and a matter open to choice runs unquestioned through our culture and is reflected everywhere in the media, the theater, the classroom, and in many medical clinics.  It has taken on cult-like features: its own special lingo, internet chat rooms providing slick answers to new recruits, and clubs for easy access to dresses and styles supporting the sex change.

 It is doing much damage to families, adolescents, and children - and should be confronted as an opinion without biological foundation wherever it emerges.

But gird your loins if you would confront this matter.  Hell hath no fury like a vested interest masquerading as a moral principle.

My Friends, God bless you for caring about America and the mental health of our youth and our coming generations.
