Throwing another monkey wrench in homosexual activists’ claim that there is a “gay” gene — that homosexual behavior manifests from a biological condition rather than from a choice — a prominent psychiatrist argues that gender confusion is a temporary mental disorder that leads to suicidal tendencies, if nurtured.

According to former Johns Hopkins Hospital psychiatrist-in-chief Paul R. McHugh, M.D., a person changing the sex he or she was born with is “biologically impossible.” He went on to declare that LGBT advocates who encourage “gender confused” individuals to have “sexual reassignment surgery” are guiding them down the path to suffer from mental illness — and quite possibly, suicide — WND reports.

30 years of research doesn’t lie

McHugh points to a Swedish study tracking “transgenders” — some for nearly three decades — stressing how the decision often celebrated in the media to go through sex changes often proves fatal because of the mental toll it takes on indivuals.

“[B]eginning about ten years after having the surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties,” McHugh wrote in the Wall Street Journal about the research. “Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable non-transgender population.”

Corroborating his assertion about the ephemeral nature of transgender proclivities, McHugh points to research showing that transgenderism is a choice — not a hereditary biological trait.

“When children who reported transgender feelings were tracked without medical or surgical treatment at both Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic, 70 percent to 80 percent of them spontaneously lost those feelings,” McHugh shared.

Just as the military has worked actively to normalize homosexual behavior under the directive of the Obama administration, which did away with the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, it is argued that the LGBT community is doing all it can to push transgenderism into the mainstream.

Obama sent us down this track

When Barack Obama took office in 2009, only a few states legalized same-sex marriage. Today, 37 states recognize the controversial unions (mostly through court edicts), with the U.S. Supreme Court kicking off hearings this week that could end up legalizing it across all 50 states. Many believe that with a victory there, the LGBT community would start moving on to new horizons.

Massachusetts became the first state to legalize the “gay” marriage in 2004, when only 30 percent supported the much-debated unions, compared to nearly double that rate today (59 percent), according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll taken last month.
