Obama and his brain dead v**ers continue to brag about all of the people who now have heath care insurance because of Obama care. Like everything our beloved leader does, it is what is left out of the hype that matters. It can be argued that Obamacare is in it's death spiral because the evil insurance companies are pulling out of the exchanges after losing their shirts. There are still some writers in financial publications who say this is all exaggerated. Maybe. Maybe like a Frankenstein monster Obamacare will continue to live on after it's Daddy is no longer on the political scene. What is not exaggerated are the high deductibles in Obamacare that limit it's usefulness.

This article from last November is still relevant.

Despite his authoritative sounding title at a respected medical institution, Dr McHugh’s opinions do not represent the views of the mainstream medical establishment, rather they are the erroneous, bigoted beliefs of a scientist who appears far too invested in his own antiquated, disproven theories and his anti-L**T political position than the current state of medical affairs.

Dr McHugh’s piece concludes with a firm assertion that t***s people are nothing but mentally disturbed individuals:"

The "disproven" theories of Dr McHughs you spoke of.

Your ad hominem is noted as irrelevant.

I posted a link and it's text. Not of my own authorship. I posted it because it is one of many similar opinions, supported by facts, research, consensus, peer review and pertinent, qualified scientifically endorsed methods that debunk the statement that there is no research supporting the contention that t*********red individuals are not the same as cisg****red males or females.

There is clear evidence of discrete, consistant, demonstrable differences of a concrete physiologic nature between cisg****red males and females and t*********red individuals in numerous instances of many disparate lines of research.

Do you read the Google search results for "t*********red brain differences" and find this evidence absent in your world?

Then I posted another link, which I also did not author, regarding the expert presented which debunks his authority and flatly contradicts his contentions with numerous links to current day peer reviewed reseach.

Now that you know this evidence exists, you will be lying if you continue to assert it does not exist. Your only hope of salvaging your argument is to adequately refute it.

Go ahead. I'll wait.

. . . . McHugh specifically states that “no evidence supports the claim that people such as Bruce Jenner [sic] have a biological source for their t*********r assumptions. Plenty of evidence demonstrates that with him [sic] and most others, t*********ring is a psychological rather than a biological matter.” To make this claim, McHugh must ignore at least fifteen studies that have found exactly that kind of evidence showing a biological origin for t*********r identities.

The reason for this distortion may be McHugh’s clear intention to not only reject the mental health of t*********r people, but to also counterract the meme of acceptance with one of stigma and rejection. “The idea that one’s sex is fluid and a matter open to choice,” he concludes, “is doing much damage to families, adolescents, and children and should be confronted as an opinion without biological foundation wherever it emerges.”
McHugh ends by setting up the very kind of defensive posture utilized by Anderson and other conservatives seeking to prop up his unscientific views. “But gird your loins if you would confront this matter,” he warns. “Hell hath no fury like a vested interest masquerading as a moral principle.”
But the masquerade is McHugh’s. His approach to t*********r support — and his general antipathy to the entire L**T community — has already been widely debunked. For example, he regularly claims that surgery does not support the mental health of t*********r people, but he does so by citing a study comparing people who had surgery to people who weren’t even t*********r. He also claims that t*********r people are simply persuaded by culture that changing their body will solve their other psycho-social problems, which ignores the fact that many t*********r people never undergo such surgeries.
For this to even make sense, McHugh must ignore the notion that people who are t*********r have psycho-social problems not because they are t*********r, but because of how they are tormented by society because they are t*********r. A large 2011 study found that t*********r people are subject to rampant discrimination, poverty, harassment, and violence because they are t*********r. A new study from Canada similarly found high rates of suicide attempts among t*********r people, but specifically found that those suicide attempt rates significantly declined when t***s people were supported by their parents, when they were able to update their legal documents to match their g****r, when they endured less t***s-based h**e, and when they were able to t***sition their bodies to match their identities. In other words, McHugh has it totally backwards; it is affirming t*********r people’s g****r identities and supporting their traditions that helps them do best in society.
And of course, that’s what mainstream medicine says too. That’s why the World Professional Association for T*********r Health (WPATH) in no way resembles or reflects any of McHugh’s assertions. The WPATH standards of care guide medical professionals across the globe as they help t*********r people through their t***sitions.
For social conservatives, however, Paul McHugh represents a distinguished “medical professional.” “He’s a giant,” Anderson boasts. Even though he is one of the only doctors willing to endorse their rejection of t*********r people, they still take his word over the consensus of doctors who have helped thousands of t*********r people live happier, healthier lives.

Once more I issue my challenge to anyone who takes such issue with North carolina & Mississippi over their laws requiring people to use the public bathrooms of their birth g****r.

Please note that my e-mail goes to several groups that have progressives among their memberships and I posted the message on One Political Plaza specifically mentioning two progessives in the thread. Not one has responded. I do not anticipate any. It sort of reminds me of the laws that Congress would pass and then exempt themselves from them.

(I did some editing this time but the message of the post is the same.)

Bruce Springsteen, Sharon Stone and Ringo Starr are planning to cancel appearances & work in North Carolina & Mississippi over the the laws limiting people to bathrooms of their birth g****r.

To demonstrate their sincerity, I think it's only fair for Springsteen, Stone & Starr and all others who object to the laws to have their mothers, wives, sisters or daughters go to a bathroom or a gym with males who identify as females and do their excretory functions or take their showers in adjacent stalls.
