The guy was the Cheif of Psychiatry for 26 years at one of the premiere medical institutions in the world. I wonder why they never dismissed him for ignoring science due to his religion. Maybe they failed to check with the experts at Transadvocate.

But you and others can talk out of both sides of your mouths if you want.

Well, to be fair, the person writing that article for transadvocate was an expert on the field and cited multiple expert sources. The fact that she was writing for an online publication doesn't diminish that.

To address why he was never dismissed: because 1) gay and trans issues were probably not at the top of JH's concerns from 1975-2001, 2) society was pretty accepting of public demonization of gays and trans people during that time. 6 years ago, the dude was still referring to being gay as an "erroneous desire" in people and linking society's acceptance of it to our acceptance of porn and euthanasia. http://www.virtueonline.org/charleston-sc-dr-paul-mchugh-there-no-gay-gene

I'm sure his work on depression and suicide is spot on. However, if you read anything he writes or says on gay or trans issues, it is filled with his personal beliefs on society's degradation from biblical values as the reason why people "choose" to be gay. I'm sure some universities were filled with directors who spouted racial superiority rhetoric during the first half of the 20th century. Not sure that makes their baseless beliefs any more legitimate.
