So I can find this

When postmortem studies related to transgender individuals were first published, little was known about the function of the various identified nuclei. Now, over 2 decades later, significant progress has been made associating function with specific brain regions, as well as in identifying networks associated with groups of behaviors. However, much of this progress has not been integrated into the general conceptualization of gender dysphoria in humans. I hypothesize that in individuals with gender dysphoria, the aspects of chronic distress, gender atypical behavior, and incongruence between perception of gender identity and external primary sex characteristics are all directly related to functional differences in associated brain networks. I evaluated previously published neuroscience data related to these aspects and the associated functional networks, along with other relevant information. I find that the brain networks that give individuals their ownership of body parts, that influence gender typical behavior, and that are involved in chronic distress are different in individuals with and without gender dysphoria, leading to a new theory—that gender dysphoria is a sensory perception condition, an alteration in the sense of gender influenced by the reflexive behavioral responses associated with each of these networks. This theory builds upon previous work that supports the relevance of the body-ownership network and that questions the relevance of cerebral sexual dimorphism in regard to gender dysphoria. However, my theory uses a hierarchical executive function model to incorporate multiple reflexive factors (body ownership, gender typical/atypical behavior, and chronic distress) with the cognitive, reflective process of gender identity.

Basically because it's not supporting the wrong sex brain the TRAs threw a fit.

Most trans people have some kind of personality disorder. It's a shame they didn't factor that in and compare both normal and BPD brains to trans.

These lily-livered yellow-bellied cowards will be the end of us. Bowing to the regime does not get us out. The journal never should have retracted his paper.

But his response makes this so much worse.. literally agreeing that his paper had weaknesses, the scope of his study was "disrespectful", thinking that they simply misunderstood his points.. ludicrous. Why even give lip service to their false narratives?

He needs to come out and expose the real agenda.

He has to grovel and kiss the trannie ring, otherwise he won't have a career in science anymore. You can't expect the average scientist to come out and sacrifice their career. Several scientists have already done that, and for what? They just lost their jobs and were replaced by TRA academics. It had no impact on academia at large at all.

Keep in mind that the reason that these people are able to do this is because of the groundwork laid by wokeness in general. It didn't start with TRA's. It started with shit economic and racial theory's that sought to sow division in the populace. Many people here crying out about what the TRA's are doing seem to still latch on to other ideas that were the forbearers of this.

Yep, getting so fed up of this. People on the left still quite happy to trot out these destructive ideas when they might benefit from them and are only highly critical of them when they see they might personally lose out. Definitely seeing this with no-platforming and the guilt by association stuff but sometimes it's full blown belief in the critical theory/grievance studies ideology.

To be fair the right does (or did) engage in this behavior before the left went full crazy with identity politics. I remember the Dixie Chicks getting canceled because they were outspoken against the Iraq War. It doesn't make what's going right now any better though.

I'd say people refusing to buy someone's products, like music, because you don't like their opinions is different stopping people you dislike being able to even sell concert tickets to people who want them or to walking off a stage if they walk on because otherwise you yourself will be smeered as "a person who shares platforms with nazis."

Well it was more than just boycotting and I'm not trying to say that whats going on now is remotely better than past times. It'a obviously worse and it's quite appaling. However every idea has roots somewhere and cancel culture and lefist dogma is no different.

This has inspired me to write a haiku, but I'm not going to share it cause frankly it kinda sucked.

Aw, share it with me at least. I love haiku.
