A man goes to a psychologist with a problem. "Doctor," he says, "I'm suffering terribly. I feel like a woman trapped inside the body of a man. I want to become a woman."
The psychologist responds: "No problem. We can discuss this idea for a couple of years, and if you're still sure you want to be a woman, we can have a surgeon remove your penis, give you hormones for breast enlargement and make other changes to your body. Problem solved."
Gratified, the first patient leaves, followed by a second. "Doctor," he says, "I feel terrible. I'm a man but I feel attracted to other men. I want to change my sexual preference. I want to become heterosexual." The psychologist responds: "Oh no, absolutely not! That would be unethical. Sexual orientation is an immutable characteristic!"

From personal experience, I believe 95% of psychologists themselves are, at best, much less well-grounded than the average American, or at worst, are insane themselves.
This is great! It proves that liberals believe contradictions all the time.
We can try to play God all 24/7. That does not change the facts. God's Word does not change.
God made man. God made woman. God did not make “it”.
IMO, This is idolatry at its most perverse. LUST, is the idol for homosexuals. In this country we have made a private SIN and public RIGHT. What a travesty.
Almost every Psych major or psychologist I have come in contact with was a bit off-kilter himself, or herself.
Also, on what basis did the “experts” decide homosexuality was no longer a mental illness? What new data was there? Or was the old data they relied on shown to be wrong?
The sad thing is that when psychiatrists try to fix emotional trauma with surgery, they ignore the emotional trauma. Removing somebody’s penis doesn’t deal with the patient’s terrible relationship with their father.
Like gender confusion, homosexuality is a coping mechanism for dealing with emotional trauma. Convincing the patient that homosexuality is simply another stop on the spectrum of (amoral) human sexuality, and convincing most of society the same, avoids treatment of the core issue: the patient’s emotional trauma.

Really? Do you care to elaborate on one, or any, of your experiences?

Sure - I knew one psychologist who is on his 4th marriage. I know another “childrens psychologist” who has had 3 abortions and has vowed not have children. I know a third who has declared bankruptcy 3 times, left his practice to form a Christian Ministry based on the notion that Jesus was really a Buddha and was charged by the IRS for falsely taking $250,000 in contributions.
Certainly any of these things are common to all Americans, but the Psychologists I know just seem to accumulate such experiences.
Sorry to say it, but its what I see. Maybe it’s just my bad luck.
The psychology profession is by deliberate practice, amoral. Their professional morality extends only to staying out of personal relationships and sexual relationships with patients. Without basis in fundamental morality, the psychiatry profession can merely treat symptoms and try to make the patient feel better about themself, regardless of the underlying issue.
One of these bums told me that if a spouse no longer loves the other spouse, and wants to separate, well that’s just they way it is.
Another told me of a patient that tortures animals, and that she was obliged by professional ethics to make no moral judgements about these acts.
Another probably encouranged a patient to have sex with a female prostitute, to see if the patient really was a lesbian.
This one abandoned a patient in order to side with a marriage-ending, same-sex spouse.
This same one, a Presbyterian clergyman, married a lesbian couple which she was counselling. One half of the couple abandoned her marriage.
One told me she couldn’t see me because I expressed a desire for a female counselor. Their was, supposedly, a professional prohibition for her to see me, a male, out of fear of transferrence.
Another, a female counselor, saw regularly a female patient who ACTUALLY HAD experienced the transferring phenomenon of falling in love, and being sexually attracted to, her female therapist.
This therapist immediately broke the patient-therapist relationship, once the lesbian attraction was revealed.
My personal anecdotal experience suggests that 100% of psychologists are grounded in nothing, other than a prohibition against having sex with the patient. Having no ground in morals means that any help done for the patient is either by accident, or is a mask of the underlying problem.
