Trump’s election may have messed up the sex balance of babies
Wired.com ^

The ascendancy of the billionaire president may be linked to a decline in the number of boys born to liberal-leaning parents in Ontario, Canada.

“I felt this apprehension in society that immediately harked back to September 11,” he says. “And that’s when the light dawned in my head, and I wondered if this could have the same sort of effect on the sex ratio.” Retnakaran and his colleague Chang Ye patiently waited for babies to be born so they’d have data to analyse. They looked at all births in Ontario before Trump’s election (April 2010 to October 2016); just afterwards (November 2016 to February 2017); and later on (March 2017 to October 2017).

The team found the lowest ratio of boys to girls occurred in March 2017. This effect was observed in liberal-leaning parts of Ontario, but not in conservative areas. Before Trump’s election, for every girl born in liberal-leaning regions of Ontario, 1.0605 boys were born, but between March 2017 and July 2017 this figure dropped to 1.0217 boys per girl. For conservative-leaning regions there was a slight increase in the ratio, but a statistical analysis showed this was down to chance, not an outside factor.

Maybe libs aborted boy babies as a form of protest and human sacrifice

Writers for Wired may not be sure of their own sexes.

What difference should it make to them? The babies can choose their own “gender” whenever they want.

For a liberal/progressive to write an article like this strike me as fake news. To them, the sex at birth is completely immaterial. So what are these writers really up to?

All the chemicals we are infusing our bodies with by food, medications, recreation and environment couldn’t have anything to do with it.

1. Why would Canada care? They’re already run by their own snowflake protector.
2. Why would there be any change of any ratios until 9 months+ after the election?

I thought we no longer saddled babies with a specific gender! This is some kind of ism, I’m sure.

Liberals should not be raising boys anyway. They see them as defective girls.

If I’m remembering my Biology from High School, Nature pretty much balances out the boy/girl ratio throughout the world and we’ve pretty much stayed at 51% male 49% female for eons, now.

But, go ahead and blame it on President Trump, ya crazy Canucks!

“Liberal leaning.” “Conservative leaning.” By zip code? District? Whatever definition finally gave you some publishable results? This smells of data being tortured.

These so called researchers need their credentials pulled and sent to the parish landfills to become productive subjects by looking for half used rubbers.

This is the actual Oxford Dictionary definition of "conformation bias."

I guess that's what happens when a light dawns in your head.

Liberal mom’s, especially suburban mom’s, are killing all their male offspring over concern that they will turn into Orange men.

That’s a good thing, right? The fewer toxic male babies there are the fewer parents who will feel micro-agressed.
