'Good intentions' may have tragic consequences

In all due respect, your editorial praising the support of a "transgender" eighth-grader and his/her parents that believe that child is transgender who forced their school to support that opinion in a school environment is a tragic example of the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Putting emotion aside and substituting science, Dr. Paul Hugh, Psychiatric Chief at Johns Hopkins University Hospital provided proof that there is a 70-80 percent probability that the eighth grader will outgrow their transgender "confusion" and realize that they are indeed whatever sex their body parts would indicate.

Featured in The Wall Street Journal on June 12, 2014, Dr. Hugh's data is critical and carries high credibility because Johns Hopkins was the first hospital that did transgender surgery which shows that they were open minded.

After decades of doing these transgender surgeries, they decided to do some research to make sure that they were actually helping their patients and that research totally shocked them. They found that patients who had transgender surgery were 20 times more likely to commit suicide than the normal population.

And they found that 70-80 percent of young people who thought they were transgender but did not have transgender surgery realized that they were not transgender by the time they grew up and reached maturity.

Johns Hopkins immediately stopped doing transgender surgery because they realized they were destroying the lives of a majority of young people who were suffering from sexual confusion which eventually corrected itself.

Sadly, the tragedy is that there is a 70-80 percent chance that the parents of this sexually confused child, the government and now the school are destroying the life of this child instead of helping to clear up their sexual confusion.
