Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

Always has been.
Similarly, for literally thousands of years people understood the concept of natural immunity. Then, for 3 years, being a recovered COVID victim wasn’t useful — you still just had to get that vaxx. Then, after 3 years, people re-discovered the concept of natural immunity.
And here — Homosexuality and transgenderism were correctly seen as mental illnesses and abnormalities for a very long time. Then, all of a sudden, then were normal. But people will figure it out again eventually.
He can speak freely, precisely because he is retired, and thus not subject to being fired or disciplined.
Looks like this psychiatrist has a Marxist death-wish. He just won a free one-way ticket to and permanent all-expenses-paid vacation at the Gulag Archipelago Resort and Spa.
100% correct. And don’t enable delusions.
Don’t bet on the disciplined part. The Woke Movement will figure out a way to make him pay.
Imagine depraved Democrats thinking their opinions mean more than this respected doctor's opinion.
You mean to tell me sticking your dick in a blender is an insane idea?
“Hello, Suicide HotLine? Hillary Clinton gave me your number.”
It is not a minor mental disorder. It is CRAZY!
He’ll be fired and trashed. His books will be pulled. Insane animals will yell and scream at him. Because he said the truth.
Ask Admiral Levine.
