[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all need to take a chill pill. I looked up Lisa Littman and she is a well respected professor and MD at Brown U. Just because her study challenges your ideas doesn't mean she is bigot or that her research is bigoted. There is nothing fake about her or Brown University.[/quote]

Yup. Nor Johns Hopkins, which doesn't do gender reassignment surgeries anymore.[/quote]

No, you have that exactly wrong.

Johns Hopkins stopped doing gender reassignment surgeries way back in the 70s (about the time homosexual orientation was still considered a mental illness by the APA). This was primarily under the influence of one psychiatrist's beliefs. They have since reconsidered and resumed doing such surgeries as part of a multidisciplinary specialty service.

Gender Affirmation Surgical Services

The Center for Transgender Health is a multidisciplinary center that offers world-class care for all aspects of the gender affirmation process. We work alongside patients to identify the surgical procedures that best meet their gender affirmation goals. Our team of surgeons specializes in transgender and gender-nonconforming surgical services including top and bottom surgeries as well as facial masculinization or feminization.

Long shadow cast by psychiatrist on transgender issues finally recedes at Johns Hopkins

Nearly four decades after he derailed a pioneering transgender program at Johns Hopkins Hospital with his views on “guilt-ridden homosexual men,” psychiatrist Paul McHugh is seeing his institution come full circle with the resumption of gender-reassignment surgeries.[/quote]
