New study finds transsexuality to be a mental illness

[quote]But according to a new report published on Monday in The New Atlantis study—and utter common sense—transgenderism has zero grounding in science. Former Chief of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Dr. Paul R. McHugh and Arizona State University professor of statistics and biostatistics Lawrence S. Mayer co-authored the report, which found that "gender identity" is not removed from biological sex. In other words, a man cannot be born in a woman's body, or vise-versa. [/quote] Actual study: http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/introduction-sexuality-and-gender [spoiler] http://www.dailywire.com/news/8592/report-transgenderism-not-supported-science-amanda-prestigiacomo?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-news&utm_campaign=benshapiro[/spoiler] So to those people I was arguing with that said conservatism holds back progress, this proves you wrong.

  • Apart from the fact that this is fake (your article that is), the better thing to discuss here is why do you care? My opinion about it is very simple. I dont care, just let them do there thing. There are real articles out there about many things you do every day that is bad for you, show that you have a problem somewhere or i dont even know what else. If you are so interested in things like that, why dont you start to search and read those since those articles do effect you in alot of ways.

  • [quote]So to those people I was arguing with that said conservatism holds back progress, this proves you wrong.[/quote] Where's your proof? The "study" you linked isn't even a peer reviewed study. It's an essay, which criticizes other studies through an extremely obvious bias. Lmfao. [quote]Founded in 1976, the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) is Washington, D.C.'s premier institute dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy.[/quote] Next time you want to talk about "proof" and criticize an ideal on the basis of "science," come up with an actual scientific study which offers contradictory evidence.

    • Extreme paranoia is also a mental illness. Guess we should start treating all the conservatives that think the government is gonna break down their doors and steal their guns away.

      • Look I'll bring out an unpopular opinion. I don't think transgenderism should even exist. Your born a man you stay a man, a woman a woman. [spoiler]Not trying to offend anyone. But this is what I believe.[/spoiler]

                • To be fair, studies like this come out relatively frequently and tend to contradict each other. It's hard to decipher which studies are more accurate. I am familiar with Dailywire as being a conservative news source so it doesn't surprise me that they would publish such a study as I'm sure opposing sites have done the same. My point being that just because this particular opinion exists, that does not make it a fact on its own.

                        This is so utterly pointless. This isn't even a study, just some babble written by a religious fundamentalist.

                                    • As a person who is heavily invested in Science, I sigh when every time some reads "A study shows" as gospel. For something to be a scientific fact, it must undergo rigorous testing. It must be peer reviewed, repeated, peer reviewed again, and must be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is why every other day on the news you'll hear "Studies show chocolate helps prevent cancer" and the next day you'll hear "a new study put out shows an ingredient in chocolate may be a carcinogen." This goes for anything. every time I hear that I skip it. Every time I read "a new study shows..." On these forums I just reply with this. A single study means nothing in the eyes of academia. You will always need more testing, a larger sample size, more peer review, etc. Wait a few years and see what science has to say about it.
