Former Johns Hopkins head psychiatrist: ‘transgender surgery isn’t the solution’
In his op-ed, McHugh cited a 2011 study that followed "324 sex-reassigned persons" from 1973 to 2003 in Sweden. According to the study’s abstract, it found that "persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population."
"Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group,” the authors wrote.
The study, McHugh wrote in his op-ed, found that “beginning about 10 years after having the surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties. Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable nontransgender population."
McHugh says that Johns Hopkins "launched a study in the 1970s comparing the outcomes of transgendered people who had the surgery with the outcomes of those who did not."
"Most of the surgically treated patients described themselves as 'satisfied' by the results, but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn't have the surgery,” he explained.
Thus, says McHugh, "we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a 'satisfied' but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs."

Transgenderism: A Pathogenic Meme
By the way, the Left vilifies Dr. McHugh & refers to him as "The Doctor Social Conservatives Depend On To Justify Anti-Transgender Hate".
Once upon a time poor people like this recieved the help they so desperately needed.
Tragically now they are celebrated, and just as screwed up.
Transgender Hate...
Gay Hate...
Illegal Alien Hate...
Religious Hate...
It’s the leftist THAT
Should be “Hated!”
a) not homosexual
b) extremely religious and conservative.

That’s part of the problem — nobody wants to look at him - no straight men and no
lesbians. He painted himself into a corner.

I mean, the guy was married three times and had a kid. Get real.
More proof of his mental illness.
I turn off rap.
Tiny Tim was a side-show, a garish freak who climbed in and out of the 1960s leaving nothing positive save for belly laughs from the unsympathetic among us. Count me in with the latter, because I saw this media circus for what it was. So, again, if a homosexual relationship, one of undetermined length, qualifies one, as you put it, as a highly religious conservative, well then count me out.
