“It’s a problem of inaccuracies and misunderstanding that’s been perpetuated, a smaller group of people that’s convinced a wider audience that this needs to be done … A boy that identifies as a girl and dresses like a girl and acts like a girl is still a boy from a biological standpoint. Stating otherwise is scientifically inaccurate.” -Dr. Paul McHugh

(Rocklin, CA)—[LifeSiteNews.com] The “transgender” phenomenon is an “ongoing social and psychological experiment” with children used as guinea pigs and which society will come to regret, says an expert in gender dysphoria. (Photo: Boy and girl/Creative Commons via Pixabay)
Moreover, evidence shows that 80 percent to 90 percent of children with gender identity confusion “revert to their natal sex” if they are “left to their own devices,” says Dr. Paul McHugh, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
“We’re doing experiments on these children,” said McHugh, who was chief psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins for 25 years, and has more than 40 years’ experience working with people with gender confusion.
“We should tell everybody this is an experimental procedure right now, and that experiment is not being done with controls. It’s not being done with clear statements to the parents that we can’t tell what the outcome’s going to be,” he told LifeSiteNews.
“A very large number of these families are going to find that they’ve been misled or misdirected and that’s going to be a turnaround, as often happens in these social crazes.”
Rocklin kindergarten transition
In a recent eruption of the social craze, Rocklin Academy Gateway School in Sacramento is under fire for not forewarning parents a 5-year-old boy would be transitioning to a “girl” and his kindergarten classmates told to treat him as such.
Several parents reported the transition, which took place just before summer break, left their children traumatized and fearful they could “change” to the opposite sex.
The school has countered “gender identity” isn’t sex-ed and doesn’t fall under California’s parental consent and opt-out laws, and that the state bans discrimination based on gender expression and identity.
It’s doubled-down on its position since school reopened in the fall, with a first-grader ending up in the principal’s office after inadvertently “misgendering” the boy on the playground.
Gender affirmation no help to a child
But children “don’t fully understand their sexuality until puberty, because they haven’t developed to the point of really making that connection,” says Dr. Paul Hruz, a pediatric endocrinologist at Washington University in St. Louis.
“To push them in one direction or the other” is “at best confusing to them” and “most concerning, it may influence the choices that they make.”
Hruz co-authored an article with McHugh and Dr. Lawrence Mayer, then scholar in residence at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and now a professor at Arizona State University, arguing against hormonal puberty suppression. They cited there’s little or no research on the consequences of such radical intervention.
