We are at a fraught turning point. In less than two decades we have morphed from a society that largely opposed same-sex marriage to a society that denies opposite sexes even exist.
This is madness.
The powers-that-be, from craven politicians to empty talking heads to anonymous internet trolls, have somehow framed the gender debate to present us with a false choice: Conform to gender activists’ demands, no matter how extreme, or you’re a “hater.”
Some demands, however, are so anti-scientific, illogical and unreasonable that people of goodwill and common sense must act. Modern society is already in tatters. It won’t survive if its biological foundation is destroyed.
And that biological foundation will be destroyed if it cannot be discussed — in the public square, doctors’ offices and everyday life — in honest, clear language.
When a medical school professor preemptively apologizes to students for “imply[ing] that only a woman can get pregnant,” we have entered the no-truth zone.
For me, this is the last straw. I believe it is time to summon the courage to stand our ground and to adopt the very civilized practice of calm, kind insistence on scientific fact. Why can’t scientists, of all people, do this?
Seattle-based journalist Katie Herzog, co-host of the Blocked & Reported podcast, is doing groundbreaking work on how radical ideology is replacing fact-based practices and teaching in the field of medicine. Her articles appear on Substack.com, via Pittsburgh native Bari Weiss, whose July 2020 resignation from The New York Times over its capitulation to ideology was national news.

PING!
Well, it’s about time for somebody to show up and shout that the emperor has no clothes! This absurdity has gone on long enough. I may believe I’m the Queen of England, but I doubt Elizabeth will move out of the palace and let me take over.
Bkmk
If they can make people believe absurdities, they can make them commit atrocities.
Indeed we have. And this idiocy is dangerous.
#1. Imitating Henny Youngman and Rodney Dangerfield saying, re “sex is real”, “Please tell that to my wife”. /Sarc
ZING.
Woke Patient: "Why not."
Old School Doctor: "Because you don't have any ovaries."
Woke Patient: "That's absurd. I've been identifying as a woman for 15 years. Look again!"
Well I guess the Post-Gazette will probably ditch her now.
How in the world did actual journalism find the printed page?
Have you actually, personally encountered a situation where someone demanded that you ‘conform’ to this silliness or suffer consequences?

I got 30 days in FB jail for posting that a dead male tranny now frees the family and friends from having to play into the tranny’s mental illness by continuing to call him a “girl” after death.
Reminds me of THE LIFE OF BRIAN when Stan wanted to be a woman called Loretta and have babies.
Facebook rejected these links calling them a “violation of community standards”.

Not yet.
I don’t consider FB as any legitimate arbiter of what people can say or not. I don’t know why people waste their time there.
Well done.
I just started 30 days in Fb jail(again) today because I posted those Monty Python script skits without links!
Also got nailed for mentioning Henrich-Dora Ratjen, a man running as a woman in the 1936 Olympics. He should be recognized as the first tranny and not today’s trannys that Zuck’s Facebook has a love affair with.
