  Women have more strokes than men, but new European Guidelines remove 'women' bc it omits 'non-binary' & transgendered people. Medicine keeps acting irrationally in the name of political correctness Vinay Prasad For people with an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, the risk of stroke can be substantive. For a long time, there was a risk score called CHADS-2-VASc that awards points to give you a sense of risk. More points.. more risk. Over the age of 75… 2 points. Having had a prior stroke… 2 points. Being a woman… 1 point (because women, age-adjusted, have higher stroke risk than men). Unfortunately that’s no longer PC in Europe. The European Society of Cardiology has decided to remove women as a risk factor because “The inclusion of gender complicates clinical practice both for healthcare professionals and patients. It also omits individuals who identify as non-binary, transgender, or are undergoing sex hormone therapy” Wow. The only justification ...

  Transhumanism: capital-driven colonisation of the living Paul Cudenec [The  latest profile  that I have added to the  Organic Radicals  site] Jennifer Bilek is a contemporary artist [1] and journalist who has led the way in challenging the transhumanist agenda being promoted by the global system. Typically for an organic radical thinker, she finds no place for herself in the usual “political” categories used to restrict our understanding. As she explains on her  11th Hour  blog: “I have been on the left side of politics all my life, until now, where I find myself in a political wilderness, with no political home”. [2] She recounts in a May 2024 interview that she grew her “sea legs” as a journalist during the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement in New York. [3] Bilek wrote in 2018: “As an environmental activist who was deplatformed from a speaking venue by transactivists, in 2013 I developed curiosity about the power of this group to force this developm...

  Feminist gender theory is all in good fun until a woman gets punched in the nose If the boxing match between Angela Carini and Imane Khelif tells us one thing, it’s that feminists are still allergic to accountability Janice Fiamengo “Realistically, we know that a well-trained woman, a tall and muscular woman, a woman who has learned the arts of self-defense, a woman soldier, or a woman astronaut is a match for most men. If women and men of the same size and training are matched, men may not necessarily be physically superior because women have greater endurance, balance, and flexibility”  (Judith Lorber and Patricia Yancey Martin, “ The Socially Constructed Body: Insights from Feminist Theory ,” p. 242). ** A few years ago, if one had said there were vast strength differences between men and women that mattered in competitive sports and elsewhere, that was a misogynistic remark. Feminist wisdom told us that sex differences in physical ability were predominantly caused by soc...

  Ramming Gloria Steinem The beatings will continue while women remain silent. Good Citizen If a man beats a woman at home he gets arrested for domestic abuse and battery. If a man beats a woman in public, he gets arrested for assault. If a man beats a woman in the Olympics, he gets a gold medal. — Tacitus Citizen Historiae de Democratia Globale (Roma, 2024) I used to toss in the odd piece of satire or farce on this Substack to lighten the mood. There are no better genres to expose hypocrisy and deceit than to drop a few thermobaric satire bombs to smoke out the guilty. A properly constructed piece will force them into the open where the light shines down on their misdeeds in a glorious revelation. G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S —Gloooooooooooooooorious! If I have abstained from the satirical pieces this year it’s not for a lack of effort or creative spirit. On this rapid downslope of Western civilization’s collapse, in the lands of hyper-demoralization and rampant degeneracy, the satires and far...
