About

Paul McHugh is a distinguished professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a reliable source of authoritative-sounding but highly misleading and flawed work in the area of gender.

He is also known for sharply dysconservative views on the subject of sexuality

Despite this, the increasingly-far-right Wall Street Journal gave him column space in which to post his uninformed views on transgender surgery and gender identity.

He has also held the following positions:

• advisory board, False Memory Syndrome Foundation (see SourceWatch)
• member, President's Council on Bioethics during the Bush-Cheney administration

Views

• In an editorial for the Discovery Institute, he uses the teach the controversy fallacy against the theory of evolution by natural selection and then raises a number of long-refuted objections
