It’s the same logic that once had the Catholic Church banning lay people from reading the Bible. Knowledge is dangerous because with knowledge comes questions. If people have scientific knowledge about sex, then they might question the political orthodoxy that now trumps science.
Sex as a variable has been NIH recommendation since 2014. Still is. Now considered to be a standard practice. I don't think the wording has ever been different than is now on NIH website.
Is that the policy has been in existence for a long enough time (10 years) that it is standard procedure. So I don't quite get the concern that SABV in research will disappear.
No, I did notice that. The text shown looked like what I have seen before. I couldn't quite figure out what the post saying we were going back to some dark age was talking about. I did notice date. Searched a little bit about being listed as historical. What I found (taking a few approaches)..
Do I understand correctly that sex should remain a biological variable considered in research about humans and the background being that we had an overrepresentation of men in the past resulting in medication primarily developed for men?
But Trumpers want to reverse that because it’s „inclusion“?
Sex (or specific components of sex, like hormone levels) is a variable that has to be accounted for when doing scientific studies. "Variable" is a term for something that can have multiple values. Age & weight are variables. Education level might be a variable in psychology studies.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.
Given how often transphobia ultimately leads back to Jewish conspiracy theories, you don't even need to change the quote. Scratch a transphobe and the antisemitism comes out. Look at JK Rowling, for example.

When I read something I don’t understand I get this irresistible urge to bother people.
