The bottom line, is that Curt Schilling should never, ever lose his job and livelihood because he expressed his opinion about a controversial issue, on Facebook.
He didn't make this statement on ESPN... He expressed a widely held opinion, one that is the fucking law in different places in the US. He expressed an opinion
that perhaps the fucking majority of people hold in this country.
But, since we live in a liberal-infested fucked-up PC environment, he has to lose his job? His means of supporting his family? Bullshit, and Fuck ESPN.
I suppose the former Psychiatrist-in-Chief at John Hopkins Hospital, and current distinguished professor of Psychiatry should lose his job too? WTF
Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is ‘Mental Disorder;' Sex Change ‘Biologically Impossible’

(CNSNews.com) -- Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.
Dr. McHugh, the author of six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles, made his remarks in a recentcommentary in the Wall Street Journal, where he explained that transgender surgery is not the solution for people who suffer a “disorder of ‘assumption’” – the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned to them biologically.
He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.”
While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Timemagazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”

“This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects. The first is that the idea of sex misalignment is simply mistaken – it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological outcomes.”
The transgendered person’s disorder, said Dr. McHugh, is in the person’s “assumption” that they are different than the physical reality of their body, their maleness or femaleness, as assigned by nature. It is a disorder similar to a “dangerously thin” person suffering anorexia who looks in the mirror and thinks they are “overweight,” said McHugh.
This assumption, that one’s gender is only in the mind regardless of anatomical reality, has led some transgendered people to push for social acceptance and affirmation of their own subjective “personal truth,” said Dr. McHugh. As a result, some states – California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts – have passed laws barring psychiatrists, “even with parental permission, from striving to restore natural gender feelings to a transgender minor,” he said.
The pro-transgender advocates do not want to know, said McHugh, that studies show between 70% and 80% of children who express transgender feelings “spontaneously lose those feelings” over time. Also, for those who had sexual reassignment surgery, most said they were “satisfied” with the operation “but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn’t have the surgery.”

“And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a ‘satisfied’ but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs,” said Dr. McHugh.
The former Johns Hopkins chief of psychiatry also warned against enabling or encouraging certain subgroups of the transgendered, such as young people “susceptible to suggestion from ‘everything is normal’ sex education,” and the schools’ “diversity counselors” who, like “cult leaders,” may “encourage these young people to distance themselves from their families and offer advice on rebutting arguments against having transgender surgery.”
Dr. McHugh also reported that there are “misguided doctors” who, working with very young children who seem to imitate the opposite sex, will administer “puberty-delaying hormones to render later sex-change surgeries less onerous – even though the drugs stunt the children’s growth and risk causing sterility.”
Such action comes “close to child abuse,” said Dr. McHugh, given that close to 80% of those kids will “abandon their confusion and grow naturally into adult life if untreated ….”
“’Sex change’ is biologically impossible,” said McHugh. “People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.”

agree with this post..
He`s on a roll the last month.....Man speaks his mind.
You seem to be mentally fighting an utterly imaginary scenario.
I doubt you currently stand outside restrooms marked for women when your daughter goes in so you can carefully scrutinize the other users who enter. Why would that change.
This is little more than a bemusing commentary on how people in general respond to change.
It is quite common and ordinary to imagine an adverse outcome, but given sufficient time and exposure to the realities of the seemingly troublesome change, most of us can agree that our initial kneejerk imagination was unduly employedm
I am confident this here storyline will be likewise. Within a few months, maybe a few years for some, the whole notion of being scared about fellow restroom users will be viewed as pretty damn silly
Well if that is truly a prominent concern for you personally (and I kinda doubt it is) I respect your investing time, money and influence to create whatever controls are needed for you to feel less worry about what is going on in the restrooms used by women/girls in your life
Yeah, I'm just gonna bow out of this conversation now because my mind will never accept a person with a penis being allowed to use a women's restroom. It has nothing to do with the transgender topic. Who or what is irrelevant to me personally.
You guys duke it out but I won't ever agree with this philosophy.
Where are we now in our society when a man with a giant cock is allowed to use a women's restroom? And if you don't agree with that philosophy, you're labeled a bigot or intolerant.
You could literally release your 7-year-old into a public restroom and she could be followed in by a bearded man and it's ok? It's acceptable? Not in my world ever.
Spot On Dude.
You will never get through to them.
Because they simply will not see until they are burying a Grandbaby as result of their Tolerance Charade.
Defend your Family and your Loved Ones. As You are already and as Good Men like you always have.
You cannot save these people enfuego. They are a Breed unlike has been seen. They may wake up after Horror visits them or those that they love. Until then....
there is no hope of getting thru to them.
You prove you are a Troll (and an experienced "textbook" one) by the fact that you typed a message about how you defeated me knowing it won't get left like that at this end because you are universally recognized upon this forum as an idiot who occasionally rears his Troll head up out The Poli Forum and confirms once again to the RXWorld here outside of Poli that you are a mindless zombie.
As the poor souls who use the Poli Forum here have known (and suffered) for a while now.
The concerns that people have:
In the most simple and Basic English that I can put this in:
You've mentioned, numerous times, that Transgendered and Pedophiles are 2 different things.
Which is exactly like saying that Asians and Car Thieves are 2 different things.
You cannot possibly know the sexual proclivities of all Transgendered people.
Even if you asked all them.
To declare that Transgendered are not (potential) sexual predators is a statement that has to be among the most ignorant ever made.
Say what you will about you "winning this debate" but that statement alone: "Transgendered people are not pedophiles, don't wanna watch your daughter or your wife pee" or whatever it was you said...
....removes all doubt that you are an extremely unintelligent person.
And it also outs you as The Mere Troll that I thought you were.
because no one but a troll would suggest that they personally know the sexual proclivities of every single Transgendered person in USA (or that may travel to USA) so therefore don't worry dudes they are not threat to your female loved ones.
And only a Troll would post a "Victory Post" in response to someone concluding a conversation. Troll gotta "draw them back in".
Its all you sad creatures do.
With that, vitterd is all your's Guys.
If you respond to him he will never ever stop. This is all that he has left in his life. Provoking people online.
He and other Trolls like him do this bcuz they want you to share in their Misery. They want to bring you down to their level.
he does not believe earnestly in most of what he says. Trolls assume the most unpopular position in a debate ALWAYS so that they can get responses to fill the empty hours of their isolation with at least something.
You guys are being Punk'd by a simple Troll.
Close with a brilliant and very important post some of you missed bcuz of The Troll wasting space:

Admitting defeat is the first step. Your name calling and complete meltdown was tough to watch. You have spewed so many false statements it's mind bobbling.
Today is a new day ......log in with your other names and try again.....yesterday was a blood bath for you.....hopefully you get back up today and don't embarrass yourself again.
Thanks for protecting the children in the bathroom!!
Except he never said they were smarter, your illiteracy strikes again, and there is no evidence, anywhere at all, to suggest they are smarter. Your big "example" of this the last time you suggested it was that the younger generation today apparently have an app that can translate foreign languages to English. As if that means you can somehow speak French or something.
Meanwhile, there is a whole hell of a lot of actual evidence that today's youth are blathering imbeciles.
You seem to have this bizarre desire to wish something that is false to be true.
Nobody is "intimating" anyone, and that was never suggested.
But, notice that when actual examples are cited to refute your blather you go and change the topic. Why do you think that is?
Anyway, isn't it past time for you to login under your other user name and compliment one of your own posts?
Troll On Troll. Anyone up in here with an IQ higher than that which God gave to a Grape knows you got pwned yet again up in here, as you do in every discussion within this forum. Trolls declare Victory none the less, its what you do.
Victory or Defeat in some drop of water in the ocean online discussion has zero importance in my Life. That aside, the only ones declaring you won this (or any other debate) are your Ghost IDs.
Your VPN Game Strong. That I will give you.
And your Trolling is not -EV altogether bcuz you do make for some lively & entertaining discussion/back & forths on occasion.
Intelligent posters such as enfuego, Acebb and others up in here will never "negotiate" where the safety of Women & Children are concerned though. This is as it should be and always will be. This won't change. Other things.....maybe people relax their positions on so debate could be worthwhile but fulfilling our obligation as Males to provide the safest environment for the Women & Children is not a thing some guys will back down from.
Have a Nice Day and I hope that you have a wonderful, productive and positive +EV weekend. :toast:
