The New England Journal of Medicine is now fully woke: In the latest issue of the NEMJ, authors have written that it’s time to do away with putting a newborn baby’s biological sex on birth certificates

Although it’s seemingly good news that there’s a Wuhan virus vaccine available, not everyone is embracing it. After all, they’ve seen the medical establishment, from Fauci on down, make one mistake after another during this difficult year. Worse, many in the medical establishment are proving to be insane as only leftists can be. The latest example is the once prestigious and reliable New England Medical Journal, which published an article declaring biological sex irrelevant.

In the latest issue of the NEMJ, two doctors and a lawyer have written that it’s time to do away with putting a newborn baby’s biological sex – as demonstrated by its external genitalia – on birth certificates. The article is behind a paywall, but the summary is there for all to see:

Sex designations on birth certificates offer no clinical utility, and they can be harmful for intersex and transgender people. Moving such designations below the line of demarcation wouldn’t compromise the birth certificate’s public health function but could avoid harm.

First, let's meet the authors. Vadim Shteyler is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University. He’s a hospitalist, which means he’s a regular internal medicine doctor who doesn’t have an office practice but works only in a hospital.

Jessica A. Clarke is a law professor at Vanderbilt Law School. “She studies constitutional and statutory guarantees of non-discrimination based on traits such as race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion and disability.”

Eli Y. Adashi is the former Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences at Brown University. His clinical specialty is gynecology.

As you can see, these people are not fringe crackpots. They are associated with reputable institutions. They’re getting published in the New England Medical Journal, one of the most prestigious medical magazines in the world.

The Medical Industrial Complex gave the game away when it came out for Obamacare.

Trust is the coin of the realm and, especially after Wuflu, Big Med is flat busted.

Lol! Didn’t that journal state earlier this year that masks are ineffective? It’s the only thing I believe that the eggheads have said about this nonsense.

The average American does not realize just how successful the Left has been taking over major medical organizations. The New England Jornal of Medicine is a good example. For the past forty years their powerful editors have been open socialists. They delight in publishing nonsense like this and know that it still gives credence to these lunatics. They also delight in the huge amounts of money they collect from pharmacetical companies that advertise with them and certainly enjoy very big salaries and travel on expense accounts all over the world For them globalism is here and now. Also institutions like the AMA are also firmly controlled by the Left. The average private physician no longer belongs or will pay dues to an organization that does not reflect their values. The AMA membership consists of mostly physicians employed by government , academia, and big organizations. Academia is a lost cause. Try being a conservative on any medical school faculty.

As an aside been told that the NEJM and JAMA will not accept any articles or research that demonstrate the harmful effects of marijuana.

Rational philosophy states that objective knowledge of reality and knowledge of the difference between objectively true and false is possible by means of observation and reason.This means that identity delusions are really pathological and need treatment.

I can’t wait, new government ID will not be able to list a name, just a pronoun. No race, height, weight, photo, gender, birthday or address because they are all too subjective. Guess the ID will say ‘Me’.

It’s not “biological sex.” It’s just plain “sex.” Sex, as the opposition male/female, does not need a qualifier in front of it.

Just as it’s not “trans woman.” It’s just plain “woman.” Woman does not need a qualifier in front of it.

Just as it’s not “surrogate mother.” It’s just plain “mother.” Mother does not need a qualifier in front of it.

My daughter just found out she is having a boy.

I joked that she was being presumptuous about making that determinations four months into gestation.

She showed me the ultra sound.

Nope. The “assignment” is pretty obvious.

The ultrasounds these days are amazing. The ones of my kids, 30 years ago, were just “blobs.”

I don’t believe there is any proof to that statement especially considering the argument.

Commonsense is uncommon. Why is it that the left insists on defying what one’s eyes can clearly see? Even when it comes to not seeing, they insist on defying scientific tests, e.g., chromosomes. They are “all about” science, except when it comes to science. The basis of all science is observation - either direct or indirect, but we are expected to ignore that when it doesn’t fit some political agenda. They even go so far to alter data (climate change), get caught, and still expect their Marxist agenda to be swallowed by the public based on conclusions from their falsified data.

Oh, for Pity's sake! These are M.D.s spouting such sage advice?

Now the Jewish circumcisor can clip both the penis or vagina indiscriminately.

The New England Journal of Medicine seems to be following the money like many other people are imo.
