Johns Hopkins Professor on Child Transgenderism Trend: “Many Will Regret This”
“You need evidence for that and this is a very serious treatment. It is comparable to doing frontal lobotomies.”
This professor is also a psychiatrist, and he makes an excellent point. As I have noted before, even the far left professor and culture critic Camille Paglia has said that indulging children in this is a form of child abuse.

Johns Hopkins professor on child transgender trend: ‘Many will regret this’
A psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins University has slammed the medical and psychiatric industries for what he says is reckless and irresponsible treatment of patients who claim to be transgender.
Paul McHugh, a renowned psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins University, told The College Fix he believes transgender people are being experimented on because the doctors treating transgender patients with hormones “don’t have evidence that (the treatment) will be the right one.” He also criticized the manner of treatment given to many children who claim to be transgender.
“Many people are doing what amounts to an experiment on these young people without telling them it’s an experiment,” he told The Fix via phone.
“You need evidence for that and this is a very serious treatment. It is comparable to doing frontal lobotomies.”…
A recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that 80 percent of gender minority students report having mental health problems, nearly double the rate of “cisgender” students. McHugh believes that in many cases the patient’s gender dysphoria is precipitated by mental illness.
“I think their mental problems, often depression, discouragement are the things that need treatment,” not gender dysphoria, he argued.
“I’m not positive about this. It’s a hypothesis, but it is a very plausible hypothesis, and it would explain why many of the people who go on to have treatment of their body discover they are just as depressed, discouraged and live just as problematic lives as they did before because they did not address the primary problem,” he added.

Oh, boy. This guy might as well have said that global warming was created to garner research grants. He will be summarily scoffed out and run out of town on a rail.
Fat children would often want to be thin. Liposuction is less invasive and permanent, but they don’t force this.
Kudos to him, as his research monies will mysteriously dry up.
I hope he has tenure.
We should encourage these treatments for all liberals. A useful way to get them out of the gene pool.if they weren’t idiots they wouldn’t be liberal.
Ya think?
