What's the medical truth about the hormone, drug, and body mutilation procedures which attempt to "change" a person's sex -- that are even being promoted to and used on children?
This is a very frightening subject. The mental health profession recognizes "gender identity disorder" as a psychological affliction -- not an inborn biological condition. But many in the field are afraid to research it or even discuss for fear of retribution from the powerful homosexual movement.
As a result the radical activists, fringe medical practitioners, and far-left politicians are given free reign in the public forum on this issue.

It wasn’t very long ago that the AMA and other medical experts recognized homosexuality as a mental disorder.
And they were right!
I could go either way on this issue.

Yes.
I’m glad I’m bipolar! It’s a relief to know that I am the girl G-d made me! I thought I had problems....
It seems as though it could be both.
At least you see both sides of every issue!...............
I still can't get my head around:
a. He was gay while he was with women. Then how would have be been able to have sex with them?
b. He turned gay, like flicking a light switch?
IMO, it's a freaky, perverted fetish. And I've heard rumors that the ‘wife’ does worry he'll ‘go back to women’.
Oh, and the two of them are always going to the doctor for various ailments. Gee, think that has anything to do with the lifestyle they lead?
Psychology was never fully committed to the idea that homosexuality was a disoder. Havelock Ellis and even Sigmund Freud believed homosexuality was inborn.
Freud believed all humans are born bisexual. And we gravitate towards homosexuality or heterosexuality based on our upbringing and environmental factors.
Freud wrote in 1935:
“Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function produced by a certain arrest of sexual development. Many highly respectable individuals of ancient and modern times have been homosexuals, several of the greatest men among them (Plato, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc.). It is a great injustice to persecute homosexuality as a crime, and cruelty too....”
If pointless ever had a definition... All of it is a tick or two past perverted... And as you point out, they pay a price. If it were "natural" there would not be so many issues medically with it...
It’s never a dull moment,that’s for sure.
Well, if you were schizophrenic, you could debate yourself!..............
Gay men are far fewer in number yet they have the highest rate of HIV/AIDS,as well as numerous other STDs.Some of these diseases are limited to gay men! Gay Bowel Sydrome? No Hetero is gonna be getting that anytime soon.
In 1973, the weight of empirical data, coupled with changing social norms and the development of a politically active gay community in the United States, led the Board of Directors of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Some psychiatrists who fiercely opposed their action subsequently circulated a petition calling for a vote on the issue by the Association’s membership. That vote was held in 1974, and the Board’s decision was ratified.
