Expert Psychologist Blocked on Twitter for Expressing Clinical Opinion on Transgenderism

In the early hours of Sunday morning, an expert Ph.D. psychologist who helped write the official psychological position on transgender identity was blocked on Twitter for expressing his opinion informed by clinical experience. His well-reasoned position was flagged for "hateful conduct."

On Saturday, Ray Blanchard — the Ph.D. psychologist and adjunct professor at the University of Toronto who served on the working group for gender dysphoria (the persistent condition of identifying with the gender opposite your biological sex) for the DSM V, the gold standard of definitions helping psychologists diagnose disorders for patients — tweeted out his clinically-informed opinion on transgender identity.

He still affirmed the controversial idea that sex-change surgery is the "best treatment" for "carefully screened, adult patients, whose gender dysphoria has proven resistant to other forms of treatment," but he opposed "treating" children who may change their minds. (Even this position is debatable, as people who have undergone sex-change surgery after persistent gender dysphoria have later rejected their transgender identity and lamented the mutilation of their bodies.)

Life is not that long that you should mess up your body. History has been full of fay men and butch women. Some of us have had them in our families straight gay and otherwise. This modern phenomena seems to be connected to our cultural obsession with IMAGE. Not psychological psychiods of personal projection but in how we are perceived. I don't pretend to understand it but I feel you are better off playing the cards you were dealt and if you have to bluff to cope do that too. It's all a little too self consumed for logic. There are people starving to death and Vet's that would love to have their limbs back and these people are worried about tits and genitalia.
You wanna wear dresses or pants or whatever go right a head. Don't mutilate your bodies and twist your mind with hormones. No one gets out alive make the best of the most unlikeliest of your being in the first place and if you can do that honestly people will except you. That or get a Hobby.

This story tells us that Twitter is a part of the globalist agenda to destroy our culture and society.

12:17 Thanks for your comments but you totally missed the theme here.
It's about liberal minded information gateways limiting free-speech to further their liberal agendas.
We see it in either macro or micro methods every minute of everyday.
