Dr Haslinda Abdullah from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) has given a presentation displaying archaic and misleading views on transgender issues. Dr Abdullah urged parents against entertaining their children’s trans tendencies, and warned against getting help from transgender activists which she claimed will further “mislead” them.
Dr Abdullah also claimed “toxins” polluting the environment are also behind people changing gender, citing a book called Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by American psychologist Dr Leonard Sax.
She went on to make claims that what she called "gender identity disorder" could be generated by same-sex encounters. She used an example of one man who she said "initially tough and handsome. It was such a loss for women."
Dr Abdullah, whose field of research is “effeminate men”, however did not disclose other details of her field research nor its sample size, basing her remarks on just one interview.
The claims have worried transgender activists who estimate that there are around 60,000 Malaysian who identify as transgenders, with Malays making up 70 per cent of them.

Male rape and environmental toxins do not cause transgenderism.
I have many friends who are transgenders who have never been raped, never been exposed to environmental toxins, and yet they are transgenders. Almost all of them are intelligent and university graduates.
Transgenders are born transgenders and transgenders are special like you and me.
I am not surprised if her research method, qualitative and quantitative method, samples, respondents, data collection and statistics, hypothesis etc are faulty, bias, ideological, and questionable.
Maybe she has a secret desire to wear a strap-on to a fetish party ;-)
It is sad to see this but it is around more than we know.
QS World University Rankings 2014 ranked University Putra Malaysia very low, only Number 376 university in the world, compared to other universities which were ranked of much higher quality.
For example, according to the World Reputation Rankings 2014, the best Number 1 top university in the world is Harvard University. National University of Singapore is ranked as the Number 21 top university in the world.
