Med Schools Are Now Denying Biological Sex
Common Sense ^ | 27 July 2021 | Katie Herzog

Posted on 07/27/2021 11:34:31 AM PDT by Rummyfan

During a recent endocrinology course at a top medical school in the University of California system, a professor stopped mid-lecture to apologize for something he’d said at the beginning of class.

“I don’t want you to think that I am in any way trying to imply anything, and if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it,” the physician says in a recording provided by a student in the class (whom I’ll call Lauren). “Again, I’m very sorry for that. It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone. The worst thing that I can do as a human being is be offensive.”

His offense: using the term “pregnant women.”

“I said ‘when a woman is pregnant,’ which implies that only women can get pregnant and I most sincerely apologize to all of you.”

It wasn’t the first time Lauren had heard an instructor apologize for using language that, to most Americans, would seem utterly inoffensive. Words like “male” and “female.”

Why would medical school professors apologize for referring to a patient’s biological sex? Because, Lauren explains, in the context of her medical school “acknowledging biological sex can be considered transphobic.”

To quote the prison camp doctor in The Bridge on the River Kwai, Madness. Madness.

Is there no pushback on this idiocy within the medical community?!

It’s a mental disorder that’s apparently contagious.

“The worst thing that I can do as a human being is be offensive.”

There are literally thousands of worse things a person can do. Even a petty crime like shoplifting a candy bar is worse, since it actually causes demonstrable harm to someone, even if it’s a negligible amount, whereas being offensive only harms people who voluntarily choose to take offense, so they are essentially harming themselves.

A primary difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits. (props to Einstein for that observation)

American Medical Schools are not what they once were. They, like every other major institution, have been corrupted. They no longer take the best students either, deferring to diversity and dreamers (with set asides in many cases). The future of medicine and healthcare in this country does not look good. Perhaps it is part of the “depopulation” agenda. Kill of Social Security. Target the aged with designer diseases to eliminate them from the system and if they survive, give them a “treatment” plan or jab to “prevent” said narrative. Finally, destroy the healthcare system after pricing it out of most folk’s reach. Even if you can get it, would you want it?

We are imploding, people. I wonder who will have the best medical schools moving forward? It won’t be America.

When I read posts like this all I can do is LOL at the Nutty Professor:-) BTW I went on the VA site yesterday to see if I qualify for health care and the only 2 options were Male & Female. I guess that’s why they want to FIRE the unvax’ed there so they can update the site with Major BS:-)

I notice in your image there is a “Periodic” table.

The Doc better apologize for that, too.

We’ve spent decades graduating way more lawyers then we can ever absorb into the commercial or criminal practice. Combine that excess with a cultural that thinks hyper-egalitarianism is possible or desirable and this is what we have !

Part of Obamacare legislation was diversity requirements for the medical profession. And cutting down length of educational requirements.
