Hearing CDC just advised any of their authors that they have contacted journals to have their names removed as authors on any scientific material that promote gender ideology.

The scientists at the CDC are not “promoting gender ideology,” they are doing science. But know what IS promoting gender ideology? A president issuing an EO claiming there are only two genders.
arguably, gender itself is an ideology, which is to say, the idea of classifying humans and assaying them social rules and roles on the basis of their potential reproductive role is a popular and pervasive ideology among western cultures, but as all ideologies, can be challenged.
I don't like my own phrasing here, but i chose it to make it less likely for people to misinterpret me. It's not "arguably." The views that the GOP are trying to push ARE "gender ideology." By every definition.
They are using the word "ideology" to describe the concept of rejecting their preferred ideology. But really, most scientists reject ideological frameworks, on account of their inherent rigidity, in favor of deferring to evidence.
As in the CDC is directly contacting journals to remove authors or are they asking authors to remove themselves? Will the journals comply? What if they are first authors on publications? How does this make any sense?
There's no such thing as "gender ideology" it's literally just scientific and medical evidence supporting the existence of trans people. The only ideological decision here is our far right extremist government attempting to erase our existence.
If you are an author who feels - for any reason - that you have to remove your name from a study the CDC is targeting, I want you to SUBSTITUTE MY NAME and then send me a link so I can read what I retroactively wrote.
I am going to be targeted by Trump anyway. I can handle it for those who can't.
she's literally on our side all you ineffectual dipshit dilettante fucks, we don't have time for this boundary policing claptrap, did you read the thing she said before screeching about quotation marks? this is horrifying
drawing attention to the way that the government is silencing queer people and assaulting their rights in society is right-wing. Not wanting bad actors to draw attention away from the people who are doing this with worthless boundary demarcation is right-wing.
the regime, and if they succeed at taking my rights away, it will be because of people like you who were too worried about fucking quotation marks or the esoteric resonances of words to even listen to what is happening, much less do anything about it. But really, you're probably on the payroll.
whoever wants to take attention away from the content of posts like this is a fascist who is fully on the side of the governing regime, and actively attempting to make discussion of their harms impossible. that means you. that is your only goal. fuck off fascist.
When the phenomenon is a religion that harms a half a doz vulnerable groups, those who are staunch believers harm others when that religion harms others
“Promote gender ideology.” I wonder what that means. What I know about transgender people could fit on a postage stamp, but I can recognize zealots shooting at an easy target when I see it.
From EO-14168:
"permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true...."
"...Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body."
Also it means anything transphobes think is true about trans folks.
The idea is to paint gender identity, and the state of being trans or not, (and I'm including nonbinary, agender, any non-cisgender thing within trans here), as something that isn't innate, but is something that one could be persuaded into, something that's a delusional and dangerous belief system.
Gender ideology is a homophobic misogynistic mens rights movement that harms a half doz vulnerable groups.
The ppl you are calling trans will stop being trans eventually: its a hobby. Ppl who have been scammed by hobbists are robbing kids right to puberty and robbing womens right to safety
Every gender biz stat and claim is a lie. You cant name one thats not.
Thats why UK, italy, germany, france, sweden and others are taking steps to retract fraudulant policies that harm vulnerable ppl.
Who are you hearing it from? Was that source trustworthy and why do you think so? Could the people you’re hearing it from be wrong? Who precisely advised the “authors”? What language was used to advise them?
Reminder that "gender ideology" is not an actual thing. It's a vague bogeyman created by the religious right to oppose women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights:

2) the definition reads like something out of a school shooter's manifesto

I don’t know what “gender ideology” consists of or how to identify it.
Why would the journals retroactively remove authorship?
It’s all gibberish.
Trump is actively criminalizing trans Americans

You are, at best, a useful idiot for->
That sort of hyperbolic response is what you'd expect from somebody brought up on 4chan who thinks it incredibly smart to try to reverse bigotry.
But you're too fucking dumb to hide your power level
“Ineffectual dipshit dilettante fucks” is genius.
"“Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity,...

Theres nothing more homophobic than sterilizing gays to address normal issues most grow out of.
Yet this is what mens rights activists have scammed dems into.
I can see y'all worked really hard to try to turn the tables and present yourselves as the caring ones about women and "vulnerable groups".
It's so transparently cynical.
Theres nothing more homophopic than telling kids and gays theyre born in the wrong body and must now mutalate themselves
Few things are more mysogynistic than allowing men to invade womens spaces
Thats why UK, italy, germany, france, sweden and others are taking steps to retract fraudulant policies that harm vulnerable ppl.
If it's the former, define what that is precisely without denigrating trans people, I dare you
If it's the latter, USE THE QUOTES. if you don't indicate their propaganda, you're parroting it and rubber stamping it
