Actually, I am the one who wants to erase gender; which I have replaced with a 3 levels structure that is hierarchical. (1): Biological Sex role - (what your body dictates). (2): Societal Sex role- (society wide). (3): Social Sex role - (based on social groups that adults choose to associate with; family, religion, school, community.) My structure has “Sex at birth” and “Sex at present”. The men who beat up women in the Olympics have Sex: modified male.
During the Weimar Republic more than half of all German physicians became early joiners of the Nazi Party, surpassing the party enrollments of all other professions. From early on, the German Medical Society played the most instrumental role in the Nazi medical program, beginning with the marginalization of Jewish physicians, proceeding to coerced “experimentation,” “euthanization,” and sterilization, and culminating in genocide via the medicalization of mass murder of Jews and others caricatured and demonized by Nazi ideology. Given the medical oath to “do no harm,” many postwar ethical analyses have strained to make sense of these seemingly paradoxical atrocities. Why did physicians act in such a manner?
Yet few have tried to explain the self-selected Nazi enrollment of such an overwhelming proportion of the German Medical Society in the first place. This article lends insight into this paradox by exploring some major vulnerabilities, motives, and rationalizations that may have predisposed German physicians to Nazi membership—professional vulnerabilities among physicians in general (valuing conformity and obedience to authority, valuing the prevention of contamination and fighting against mortality, and possessing a basic interest in biomedical knowledge and research), economic factors and motives (related to physician economic insecurity and incentives for economic advancement), and Nazi ideological and historical rationalizations (beliefs about Social Darwinism, eugenics, and the social organism as sacred). Of particular significance for future research and education is the manner in which the persecution of Jewish physician colleagues was rationalized in the name of medical ethics itself.
I put my vote in for more posts on the topic of the contamination of medical ethics by woke ideology. Wherever it rears its ugly head, it is sure to violate at least one of the ethical principles of (1) do no harm (2) patient autonomy or (3) justice.
At some point, this Clown $hit Show *HAS* to stop, no? I mean UK is throwing people in jail for emojis, France is jailing Telegram CEO, and now this. I'll ask again. Where have the sane people gone?
There's zero reason they can't make four categories and keep us (biological) women in the equation.
I don't know why women, women's rights, and women's health and safety have ended up the largest casualities in the Transgender war on gender norms, but it's really upsetting.
Men who think they're women have been enabled by governments and have women ID. Men who think they're women have zero interest in being a 3rd or 4th category, the whole point is to rape women's spaces.
With every pronouncement such as this the trans advocates strengthened by those who refuse through fear or conformity to call out the inconsistencies ( or just plain insanity) increase the probability that the whole trans movement ( not necessarily all individuals within the movement ) will be ignored and treated with the disdain which they deserve , both the harm they have done and how they have attempted to debase our language
Vinnie, do you think the European physicians are having cognitive atrophy, or are they perhaps just criminals who are paid off to do dumb shit like this?
They are not erasing gender. They are erasing women.
Baam...you just won the internet today !!

History echoes. From Science Direct:

How interesting (and scary). Thanks for sharing that fascinating bit of history.
Woke nonsense run amok
Great commentary.

1-it would really help if scientists (and everyone, but scientists mostly) would stop using the idiotic word "gender". Mammals have two sexes. End of.
2-ZERO men are EVER women
ZERO people are EVER born in the wrong body
ZERO mammals can EVER change sex
3-governments must cease enabling the "born in the wrong body" delusion and return to TWO SEXES, on all vital statistics.
4-in medicine, of course someone's "gender identity" can be accounted for as would any religion or hobby. But nothing more.
And also, it's fine to say "if someone is taking hormones, these guidelines may not apply."
That language is too weasily. Nobody should be "on hormones". Cross SEX hormones are toxic and shorten your life.
When a doctor interviews you, the doc asks: are you using any meds. Cross SEX hormones are not meds, they are life ending drugs.
At some point, this Clown $hit Show *HAS* to stop, no? I mean UK is throwing people in jail for emojis, France is jailing Telegram CEO, and now this. I'll ask again. Where have the sane people gone?
Well at least some of us are here :-).
There's zero reason they can't make four categories and keep us (biological) women in the equation.
I don't know why women, women's rights, and women's health and safety have ended up the largest casualities in the Transgender war on gender norms, but it's really upsetting.
It upsets me too with two daughters and a granddaughter.
Men who think they're women have been enabled by governments and have women ID. Men who think they're women have zero interest in being a 3rd or 4th category, the whole point is to rape women's spaces.
Who wants to take odds on whether the news media will cover this travesty to ‘science’. Thanks for sharing this and thank God for substack

Let's not forget that for physicians like us who question PC, there's a plan B to stop us if we don't sell our souls. It's called DEI.
To all the people who are just waking up to this nonsense now, I say it's about goddamned time.
Where the hell ya been for 50 years!
Lies NEVER serve science, biology, or health.
In the early days, fools claimed "let's humour them, there's only a few of them"
Numbers are irrelevant.
Truth is scalable, lies aren't.
Vinnie, do you think the European physicians are having cognitive atrophy, or are they perhaps just criminals who are paid off to do dumb shit like this?
Why am I not surprised…
And you shouldn't be surprised. Governments have allowed sex lies and fake sex id/vital statistics for 50 years!
This has been happening like a slow train wreck and feminists been complaining (real feminists, not libfems) since then, but did anyone listen? nooo!
Who could have predicted? 🤔
Madness, just madness….
Could they have said that people with XX chromosomes have a higher risk of stroke?
It's not about "XX chromosomes"
It's about the Y chromosome/SRY gene. You could have ANY combination,
If you have a Y, you're a male, end of.
If you have no Y, you're a female, end of.
that would be chromosomist....
As a biologist, there's no other way to be. The other option is creationist!
That`s probably now racist/nazi or something...mental
No. That would only allow for two genders. 😜
