PubPeer is censoring comments critical of 'transgender' related papers

posted by mittimithai male in GenderCritical

PubPeer is a central place to anonymously comment on any academic paper. It has what feels like an archaic UI, hasn't improved very much since it was first created but has led to numerous high profile retractions and fraud findings in science. Anonymous comments have been a very important capability to call out problems in papers from high profile scientists.

There have, in previous years, been comments on a number of "transgender" pieces that make unscientific claims in high profile journals, e.g.:

https://pubpeer.com/publications/6882235778300E040A36677EDED57A

I can confirm that new comments on similar sorts of papers are not being published on PubPeer. The moderation process is entirely opaque. A great shame given how important PubPeer has been in raising flags about terrible science.

It's really a shame the whole scientific community has been indoctrinated by transgender ideology, so much to the point that some organizations are saying it isn't even a mental illness. Body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria share many common symptoms, so why does one group get their feelings/delusions affirmed and the other doesn't?

Because Trans Activists are everywhere. Someone used the frame: Just like Homosexuality only it's Gender Identity.

Besides middle class Men wanted the ability to use their insurance to cover their "healthcare."

PhD in the medical science fields and MDs becoming radicallized TRAs has been the biggest surprise for this Regressive Movement.

They know better. All of a sudden they become speculative fiction writers.

" We studied 10 members from the indigenous population in the Amazon rainforest. One of these subjects was observed to be Genderfluid. We are positing that an orchid frequently eaten had the botanical equivalent Estrogen.

More studies are required, but this could be a clue."/s

As you suggest, the denial of sex and elevation of pseudoscientific notion of gender identity in contexts ranging from medical practice to scientific journals is an indictment of the entire Institution of Science.

The worst is they are getting grant money for the pseudo science research projects.

The ultimate Holy Grail and biological "space race" is to successfully transplant a uterus in a TIM.

Genderism is the most ridiculous religion of all time, with more power than Scientology, and we desperately need separation of church and science.

Gender Critical Feminism

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.

Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women or 'identifying' as women. We condemn the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the cancelling of feminists and critics, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. Women are oppressed to exploit their biological sex characteristics, and women have a right to a movement that is about their own liberation from that oppression. We resist the redefinition of both "women" and "feminism" to make them serve men.

"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." –Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts

"The key thing to understand about trans rights activism is that, unlike gay rights activism, it is not just a movement seeking to ensure that trans people are not discriminated against. It is, rather, a movement committed to a fundamental reconceptualization of the very idea of what makes someone a man or a woman. In theory, this equally affects both men and women, but in practice, almost all the social pressure is coming from trans women towards the idea of ‘woman’ and the rights of women." –Jane Clare Jones
