Today I received the following in my email:
Dear Friend of Scientific American,
Many parents of children who are LGBTQ are desperately trying to protect their kids from discrimination and moral panics, and provide them with proper health care, safe communities and welcoming schools. Research overwhelmingly shows that supportive parents help non-conforming kids thrive, as our story in this month’s issue shows. It’s a hopeful story about parents learning from and for their kids, and supporting other families in creative ways.”
I confess to not having a subscription, so I have not read the advertised article. Based on past experience with Sci-Amer, I anticipate the sorts of things you will find in it: leftist propaganda. If I am remiss, you will no doubt inform me, and I shall duly apologize, but for now, I will sound a warning.
As usual, this unscientific, and sometimes anti-scientific, publication uses weasel words and extreme bias to promote its leftist agenda. Although I try to ignore this aspect of it, I am compelled to speak out. Who among us does not wish to “protect” our kids from “moral panics, and provide them with proper health care, safe communities and welcoming schools”? But these words mean to leftists something quite different from the definitions most people ascribe to them.
The editors at Sci-Amer are exhibiting their unquestioned assumptions about homosexual and transsexual children and assuming that the best course of action is for parents to “support” their afflicted children in their dysfunctions. They do so without exploring even the possibility that they are causing them grave and irreparable harm. For them, the leftist agenda seems to be the priority, not the children.

Discriminate away! Unclean vermin....
Sci Am has been junk since the mid ‘90s
That’s too bad. SA used to be a credible publication. Which, if any, has taken their place?
Scientific American has been in politicized lefty crazyland for quite a while.
SA hasn’t been Scientific nor American for decades.
I used to regularly read Scientific American, but they’re not very scientific anymore. They’ve been bitten by the leftist politics parasite, which does nothing but corrupt and destroy. And as for that email, any parent which calls its child “non-conforming” is manipulating them, because no child chooses their “sexuality” before puberty.
Ex-subscriber here. SA went Woke before the word was even known. One director was an early proponent of “Women’s Mathematics” - different, you see, from the male version of what is perhaps the most sexless topic in all of human learning. It’s mostly unreadable trash now and has been since the turn of the century. IMHO.
I canceled my Scientific American subscription many years ago for outrageous leftist bias.
SA has been a totally corrupted woke cesspool for years.
Scientific American irrevocably beclowned themselves during the pandemic and forced injections.
They embraced Marxism.
Stopped reading them years ago.
Unscientific American
Right on. Political purveyors. The claim to science is just the bait. Run by a bunch of prep school kids with an agenda.
S.A. has been in the dumper since the 1990s...
Did I miss something? Did you miss something? Is that a reference to a joke I dont know?
They must have dropped one of their Climate Change stories to fit this one in.
I spent my working career as a scientist, but I stopped subscribing to Scientific American about a decade ago. I still get Science.
My dad used to subscribe, it was always in our house.
Good memories.
