Transgender Issues
"Surgery doesn't cure what is essentially a psychiatric disturbance."
Think people are born transgendered? Born the wrong sex? Read on.
The first supervised "sex change" surgery was performed in Europe in the 1930. Later, the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital developed a program to perform the same surgeries in the US.
However, in August 1979, Johns Hopkins canceled its specialized program for sex reassignments. Dr. John Meyer, director of the hospital's Sex Consultation Program, said that they would not be performing any further sex-change surgeries......because research failed to show any objective improvement in patients' lives. Dr. Meyer said, "Surgery doesn't cure what is essentially a psychiatric disturbance."
In the New Atlantis Journal, Fall 2016, Dr. Mayer, and McHugh state, "the hypothesis that ...a person might be "a man trapped in a woman's body"...is NOT supported by scientific evidence"...from their report on over 200 scientific studies results.
Why then do people have transgender feelings? They reject their gender because:
- they didn't get the needed emotional affirmation from same sex parent
- they didn't identify with the same sex parent
- they became emotionally detached from the same sex parent
- they became overly attached to the opposite sex parent
- many are only children, or the last child in the family
As with homosexuality, puberty often is the time when these feelings start to manifest.
Counseling can be very helpful in resolving this issue, especially if the family is involved.
