Medical Journal The Lancet Abandons Science,
Tells Authors to Use ‘Sex Assigned at Birth’

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 6/4/2024 9:23:48 AM

Lancet‘s guidelines encourage writers to embrace gender identity instead of biological sex. “Sex and gender are often incorrectly portrayed as binary (female/male or woman/man), concordant, and static,” says the guidelines. Therefore, those submitting articles “should use the term ‘sex assigned at birth’ rather than ‘biological sex,’ ‘birth sex’ or ‘natal sex’ as it is more accurate and inclusive.” Inclusive for whom? (Rhetorical question. I know the answer. The men pretending to be females) The Lancet claims “there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender or reporting sex-based and gender based analyses.”

As a person who's been reading scientific journals his whole life I think probably the only scientific journals left are written in Chinese.

Biological sex Right out of the chute (as it were), answer the following questions: 1. Will it be able to sire further children? Male 2. Will it be able to birth further children? Female 3. Will it be unable to do either 1 or 2? Neuter 4. Will it be able to do both 1 and 2? We'll designate it when we actually find one. Nothing to do with how many X and Y chromosomes they have, how they dress, whether mommie wanted a girl, how much make-up they wear, how they feel about it, what other people think they look like, just how they can perform in the biological process of reproduction. This biological thing is much more fundamental that just affecting a person's role in reproduction. Last evening, watching "Secrets of the the Neaderthals", I found out they can ID biological sex based on proteins found in calculus found around teeth. I had already found out that the sex of a body can be determined from how the ligaments connecting the bones of the rib cage are formed. A little more unbiased than "how I feel."

I gave up on the integrity of the FBI when I watched Comey list all the evidence against the Hildabeast only to announce that there would be no charges pursued. Since then I have given up on the entire Bureau from the bottom GS-3 mail room clerk to whoever the Director might be. I gave up on the integrity of US medical establishment when Fauci and Collins lied their way through the COVID years. Since then I have given up on medical schools and what I once thought were reliable scientific journals like The Lancet. Now I am starting to question the integrity of even our Primary Care Physician since our long-time family doctor retired.

These guidelines-inventors are held up as our intellectual superiors. They wield the power to monitor and regiment even the most basic and personal aspects of our lives. I fear they are so firmly ensconced that only the hand of God can stop them.

Sex is assigned at conception by the sperm which penetrates the egg. But to admit that, the left would have to admit that abortion kills a unique human being.

I believe that most American doctors are afraid to challenge the narratives surrounding human biology, sex and gender politics because they don't want their medical licenses yanked by some witless (possibly DEI) bureaucrat. Doctors were conditioned during Covid to keep their mouths shut. By design. Remember what James Madison warned us about. "Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant." The new "crisis" is gender identity. Doctors are being told to police their language, and to stop using terms like "biological sex". Words that convey a scientific fact are problematic for the "inclusion" agenda. Women must accept men in their locker rooms, showers and sports competitions because this administration says so. Troublesome women must stop believing their lying eyes, and get on board with "science" that prioritizes self-reported gender identity over valid and reliable testing of the subject's chromosomal make up. By the way, Donald Trump's re-election cannot come soon enough.

This story is depressing. As others have said, sex is "assigned" at the moment of conception. End of story. Any competing claims are utterly insane, worthy not of dissemination but diagnosis. P.C. kills brain cells. Lancet must have been listening to FJB, who hollered, "We choose science over fiction! We choose truth over facts!" That's the same level of intelligence displayed by Lancet's editors. Did their parents have any children who lived? Did Biden's?

Pentagon sued over deletion of ‘Duty,

In its effort to blast “woke” military policies, a Washington-based legal watchdog this week sued the Pentagon for documents detailing the hows and whys of the U.S. Military Academy’s decision to delete its famous motto “Duty, Honor, Country” from its mission statement. Judicial Watch told Secrets that the move came after West Point refused to turn over information about the change. As a result, the group filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit earlier this week. “Given the woke virus infecting West Point, deleting the words ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ from its mission statement has sparked justified concern about what the Army’s rising leadership is being taught at the United States Military Academy."

The world's largest airline pilot union suggested airmen and women stop using terms purportedly offensive to women and LGBTQ individuals, calling out terms like "cockpit" as non-inclusive. Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, represents over 70,000 pilots worldwide and states that it collaborates with a United Nations agency on its policies. According to a diversity, equity and inclusion language guide released in 2021, the ALPA lists numerous terms and phrases to avoid — especially "masculine generalizations" — that it deemed to be non-inclusive.

Massachusetts' Democratic leadership announced a first-in-the-nation public education campaign warning about pro-life pregnancy clinics' "dangers and potential harm." Ads on social media, radio, billboards and transit that began rolling out on June 10 warn women to "avoid anti-abortion centers," the Executive Office of Health and Human Services announced. The ads direct viewers to a Mass.gov webpage advertising how to "search for a trusted abortion provider."

Given how much former President Donald Trump loves to get the final word in on any issue, one would assume that President Joe Biden would cherish the chance to strip his predecessor of getting a last word in, especially in a debate setting. One would assume wrong. According to CNN, which will host the first debate, Biden won a crucial coin flip ahead of the June 27 debate. The coin, which turned up tails, gave Team Biden the option to choose between either podium position or the order in which closing remarks are delivered. The incumbent, apparently, opted to lock in his podium position — a seemingly far lesser advantage

Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on illegal immigrants seems to be paying off in more ways than one, according to a recent report. The governor’s multi-pronged effort to reduce illegal immigration in Florida has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of taxpayer dollars going to fund healthcare for those residing in the country illegally. The governor signed a law last year requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their legal immigration status when they seek treatment. The legislation does not compel patients to answer the question, but immigrant rights groups argued that it would discourage them from receiving medical attention funded by the government.

High-Speed Rail in USA: An Expensive Tax

Posted by mc squared 6/23/2024 9:32:55 AM Post Reply
For some reason, high-speed rail is a hot-button issue for liberals and a frequent point of criticism from Chinese communist propaganda and Europeans when they attack the U.S. “How can you call yourself a developed country when you don’t have high-speed rail?” they ask. The reality is that high-speed rail would be more expensive and less efficient than our current travel infrastructure. High-speed rail works in Europe and China because of government subsidies, higher taxes, and because people typically travel shorter distances and have fewer travel options. The U.S. has more cars per capita, more highways, more airports, and more railroads than China or the EU. Additionally, Americans prefer to drive
