The attached pdf is the AMICUS CURIAE in a case brought to the U.S. Supreme Court by the court’s WRIT OF CERTIORARI. It contains several chapters covering different aspects on the topic, as presented to the court by several experts and references, gathered by Amicus Paul R. McHugh, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, in support of the petitioner in the case, a case which the U.S. Supreme Court chose to consider.

This AMICUS CURIAE is well worth the time to read and consider, if nothing else than to balance the almost non-stop narrative flowing from almost all mainstream media outlets and governments.

The following biographical description is quoted from page 1.

“Amicus Curiae Paul R. McHugh, M.D. is the University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. From 1975 until 2011, Dr. McHugh was the Henry Phipps Professor of Psychiatry and the director of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Johns Hopkins. At the same time, he was psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital with overall responsibility for the proper care and treatment of patients with, among other issues, sexual disorders.”

“Dr. McHugh appears as amicus not to discuss statutory construction but to critically evaluate, on the basis of his clinical and scientific expertise, Respondents’ and the Court of Appeals’ conflation of sex and gender identity. He also seeks to discuss the frequently heard claims about gender identity, which sometimes masquerade as science but are really ideological pronouncements not supported by scientific evidence. In addition to showing that sex, from a medical standpoint, does not include gender identity, Dr. McHugh’s expertise is helpful in challenging the supposed scientific imperative for gender affirmation.”
