The medical and scientific communities are facing major backlash after the Covid debacle and radical social justice issues like gender confusion. These so-called “experts” are struggling to maintain ethics and professionalism while dealing with Stage 5 TDS and a burning desire to uphold their twisted progressive political views.
As you’ve probably noticed, the way the U.S. approaches medical ethics has been changing at an alarming rate. It’s been nudged along by radical political ideas that are all about promoting “social justice.” These warped and unpopular ideas have kicked off a bunch of programs that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, instead of sound and compassionate medical treatment. We’re seeing stuff like “race” being considered when doctors decide on treatments to promote something they’re calling “health equity” — whatever that means. And doctors are now willfully ignoring the most basic “science” of all by pretending that a person’s biological sex is up for debate. What seems to matter more to this new trend is how people personally define their “gender identity,” even when it doesn’t have anything to do with their health.
However, as crackpot as this sounds, there is a darker and much more dangerous side to this shift in the medical community and it could actually cause injury and death in the lives of innocent babies. Case in point: women who insist on taking testosterone shots while they’re pregnant.
Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist, had this to say about this latest health calamity:
According to a new paper, some “transmen” don’t want to stop taking testosterone during pregnancy, despite the known health risks to the fetus, because it would make “public recognition as a man more challenging.”
But if you can tolerate being pregnant—arguably the most unmanly thing imaginable—I think you can manage to pause testosterone for 9 months.

Colin provided a link to an interesting and informative article on this very subject.
Reality’s Last Stand (emphasis ours):
In recent years, a striking paradigm shift in medical ethics has emerged, driven by progressive political ideologies purporting to champion “Social Justice.” This shift has precipitated a surge in initiatives centered around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The resulting effects have varied considerably; they include the introduction of explicit racial bias in treatment protocols in a quest for “health equity,” and an unsettling disregard for biological sex as an important variable in both medical research and patient care. Instead, the new radical movement favors categorizing individuals based on their self-identified and medically irrelevant “gender identity.”
Even more alarmingly, we are witnessing a direct assault on the language associated with women’s health in medicine. Terms traditionally used in clinical settings, such as “mothers,” are being replaced with neutral alternatives like “birthing parents.” Similarly, the term “women” is frequently substituted with “individuals with a cervix,” even though nearly half of women don’t know what a cervix is and such language may therefore cause a significant number of women to forgo important routine cervical screenings.
This trend of overlooking biological sex as a critical medical variable stems from an ideological drive to “queer” the natural world. The proponents of this view resist categorization, arguing that such practices are instruments of oppression wielded by the powerful against the less powerful. According to this perspective, medicine must eschew not only biological categorization of patients, but also traditional notions of what is deemed desirable or adverse patient outcomes.
The Reality’s Last Stand piece goes on to point out that this shift has nothing to do with “medicine” and everything to do with turning the entire world “queer.” They’re even willing to throw away the lives of infants by insisting that so-called “trans men” be allowed to take testosterone during and after pregnancy:
These ideological shifts have raised substantial concerns regarding potential harm that such denial of biological realities could inflict on patients. However, recent academic discourse has escalated these concerns to new levels. A provocative new paper in the journal Qualitative Research in Health titled “Medical uncertainty and reproduction of the ‘normal’: Decision-making around testosterone therapy in transgender pregnancy” by Pfeffer and colleagues propels us further down the road of medical malpractice.
The authors, a group of transgender sociologists and enthusiasts, and healthcare activists, with not one medical degree among them, argue to dramatically move the goal posts of medical ethics, choosing to completely disregard the health, safety, and well-being of the developing fetus, all in the name of “trans” inclusion. Abiding by their paper’s guidance would land us in a vacuum devoid of medical ethics and a seismic shift away from the importance of scientific research and medical evidence in favor of activist directed healthcare.
The authors argue that “gendered” pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
The medical insanity really heats up here (emphasis ours)
In the paper, Pfeffer et al. maintain that:
[L]acking and uncertain medical evidence (HRT with testosterone during pregnancy and chest feeding) in a highly gendered treatment context (pregnancy and lactation care), both patients and providers tend to pursue precautionary, offspring-focused treatment approaches.
The authors, two doctors named Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell, are absolutely appalled by the new “queer” approach to motherhood:
We argue that medical ethics exists to guide medical providers and protect both the expectant mother and her future offspring.
The authors of the article strive to underscore the prevailing power dynamic and expertise discrepancy between medical professionals and their pregnant patients. They also highlight “lack of training on trans pregnancy care,” and the failure of the current “precautionary approach” within a “highly-gendered space of pregnancy care.” However, conspicuously absent is any robust, concrete data to substantiate their claims. Instead, they bolster their argument by cherry-picking quotations from their study involving a pool of 70 international “trans” individuals and 22 “health care providers” or simply those who were “identifying as health care providers” at the time of the study.
This entire medical situation is truly absurd and dangerous. It’s truly alarming that these supposed “intelligent experts” are promoting ideas that even those considered not as intellectually gifted would find ridiculous and insane.
