Is LGB and Trans Healthy and Normal?

Just consider data, and history

According to a study “Examining gender-specific mental health risks after gender-affirming surgery: a national database study” by Joshua E Lewis et al, and published in the The Journal of Sexual Medicine on 25th February 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1093/jsxmed/qdaf026), it is asserted that “Transgender individuals face heightened psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, partly due to stigma and lack of gender affirmation.”

That is, these researchers, based in Texas, examined US nation-wide data (of 2014 to 2024, and a consideration of 107 583 patients) to investigate the mental health of adults who undergo chemical and surgical corporal violation in order to appear more like the sex they they are not. It is notable that those who seek such procedures are mentally unstable to begin with, otherwise they would neither desire nor proceed with it.

The data revealed that there was significantly increased depression and anxiety among both men and women who had undergone surgical interventions. Men who are being feminised with methods such as castration and hormonal treatment for breast growth also showed higher rates of substance abuse disorders.

The study concluded that “Gender-affirming surgery, while beneficial in affirming gender identity, is associated with increased risk of mental health issues, underscoring the need for ongoing, gender-sensitive mental health support for transgender individuals’ post-surgery.”

That is, when patients suffering from psychological disorders regarding their sexual identity, are affirmed by physicians and surgeons who drug and mutilate them and make them dependent for life on medical interventions to maintain the wreck of healthy bodies that they have profited from and continue to profit, these patients’ mental health will only deteriorate and not improve. A double whammy is never better than a whammy.

Robert L Kinney III, published “Homosexuality and scientific evidence: On suspect anecdotes, antiquated data, and broad generalizations” in the The Linacre Quarterly 82 (4) 2015, 364–390 and asserted that “At one time, homosexuality was considered to be mentally disordered. Since the 1970s, however, major medical associations in the U.S. have labeled homosexuality as a normal counterpart of heterosexuality. Those medical associations have proposed that their homosexuality-is-normal claim is based on <scientific evidence.> Kinney’s “article critically reviews that <scientific evidence> and finds that much of their literature does not support the claim that homosexuality is normal.” - but rather that “major medical associations arbitrarily label homosexuality as normal.”

The article concludes as follows:

“The American Psychiatric Association and the APA provide the aforementioned studies as the scientific evidence that homosexuality is a normal variant of human sexual orientation. The APA noted that homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social and vocational capabilities. Further, the APA urges all mental health professionals to take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness that has long been associated with homosexual orientations (Glassgold et al. 2009, 23–24). The Amici Curiae Brief reiterates the same claim, and it supports the claim by citing the aforementioned literature which looked at “adjustment” and social functioning (Brief of Amici Curiae 2003, 11). As has been shown, though, adjustment and social functioning are irrelevant to determining whether the sexual deviations are mental disorders.

As a result, the scientific studies that only looked at measures of adjustment and social functioning draw erroneous conclusions and result in “false negatives” as Spitzer, Wakefield, Bieber, and others have noted. Unfortunately, fatally flawed reasoning has served as the basis for “rigorous” and “scientific evidence” supporting the claim that homosexuality is not a mental disorder but is rather a normal variant of human sexual orientation. One cannot conclude (with Alfred Kinsey) that a human behavior is normal simply because it is more common than previously assumed—otherwise all human behaviors, including serial killing, would have to be considered normal. One cannot conclude (with C.S. Ford and Frank A. Beach) that there is “nothing unnatural” about a behavior simply because it is observed in both humans and animals— otherwise cannibalism would have to be considered to be natural.

Most importantly, One cannot conclude (with Evelyn Hooker, John C. Gonsiorek, the APA, the American Psychiatric Association, and others) that a mental condition is not disordered because it does not result in “maladjustment,” distress, or impairment in social functioning—otherwise, many mental disorders would have to be labeled erroneously as normal. The conclusions arrived at in the cited literature are not supported by the premises proposed to be scientific fact; the faulty works cannot be considered credible sources.

It is always best to give others “the benefit of the doubt.” Maybe the APA and the American Psychiatric Association accidentally made catastrophic logical mistakes in the literature they cite as evidence supporting the claim that homosexuality (and other sexual deviances) is not a mental disorder; that scenario is quite possible. Still, one should not be naïve and ignore the potential for powerful organizations to perform advocacy science. There are major inconsistencies in logic as well as arbitrary applications of certain principles by those upheld as “authoritative” in identifying and diagnosing mental disorders.

The present summary and analysis in this paper of the literature put forth as “rigorous” and “significant” empirical evidence uncovers major deficiencies—irrelevant, outdated, and absurd literature—and calls into question the credibility of the APA and the American Psychiatric Association’s discussion and identification of sexual disorders. Indeed, suspect anecdotes and antiquated data have been used in the debates surrounding homosexuality, but the evidence shows that even the authoritative sources on mental disorders are guilty of those charges.”
