Advice neededAdvice on entering the medical field
My medical program recently started (keeping what type vague for anonymity reasons).
I am seriously disturbed by what I see as the erasure of biological sex in my program. All forms I filled out for the program asked for gender. Genders that were included were male and female but we know male and female are sex based terms.
In my courses the professors (which include MDs and phds) have stated we must accept people's self identification. Almost all my professors say gender in the place of sex (they will apologize if they mention sex based terms).
While the professors have not stated this explicitly, I am sure this means medically treating said patients how they self identify. A TIF would be treated like they have the same BP as a male (among other things).
How is this not considered obvious medical malpractice. Females and males have different medical baselines and needs. Not discrimination, just pure science.
Advice because I'm not sure how to navigate this as I go through my med program and begin to treat patients.
Derrick Jensen and Lierre Keith were kicked out of the Green party in the U.S. for not repeating the trans ideology as well.
I stood up to the Greens’ trans ideology, then they kicked me out
lucky man, if I was him I'd get that printed on a t-shirt and wear it with pride.
He was smart to seize the opportunity to distance himself from gender ideology, and not go down with the ship. I believe his Green detractors will live to regret their decision to stay the course.
