Quote<Paul> McHugh was among the voices protesting this month when Boston Children's Hospital announced it was opening a clinic for "transgendered" children. Dr. Norman Spack, a paediatric specialist at the hospital, launched the clinic that offers younger patients counselling and drugs to delay puberty. This, he says, allows patients more time to decide whether they want to make the change.Writing in First Things magazine in 2005, McHugh bluntly identifies the "transgender" condition as a psychological disorder treatable with talking therapy.But the concept of a nearly infinitely malleable "gender" has been identified as primarily a political, not a medical concept. It is the result of certain philosophical and political trends that became popular in the 1960s and '70s with the growth of the radical feminist movement. Since then this notion of multiple "genders" has flourished through the work of radical feminist lobbyists at the United Nations who have worked for years to downgrade traditional notions of gender and the family.
