Dr McHugh is the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry. His claims about transgenderism can be summarised:
- Transgenderism is a mental disorder requiring treatment
- Sex change is biologically impossible
- People promoting sexual reassignment surgery promote a mental disorder
- The suicide rate among transgender people who have undergone gender reassignment is 20 times higher than the rate among non-transgender people
- 70%-80% of children who expressed transgender feelings lost those feeling over time
- The idea of sex misalignment is mistaken. It does not correspond with physical reality
- Surgical intervention can lead to grim psychological outcomes
