Casually dropping that JAMA and NEJM are biased toward gender intervention in what they publish is an interesting choice

"JAMA and NEJM only publish articles that show outcomes! Why won't they publish baseless fear mongering speculation??"

"Talent is evenly distributed across populations, but opportunity is not." A statement that succinctly sums up why DEI is essential. This NEJM article explains the negative impact on our healthcare system of dismantling DEI programs.

it never actually worked but i used to try fighting woo with even more absurd woo. since you can’t reason people out of what they didn’t reason themselves into, i thought i’d try out-irrationalizing them instead. nevertheless,

It's also much easier to get something punished in JAMA or NEJM if it supports traditional chemotherapy instead of healing crystals. That's kind of the point of science.

NYT's Jeremy Peters expressing stronger personal views in the comments to this article on transgender medicine than in the article itself. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...
Jeremy Peters C• Free speech and education reporter • 4 hours ago @Aaron The integrity of academic journals is a major issue here. It's not something specific to gender medicine, though certainly the lack of viewpoints published on the subject hasn't helped. The problems here are twofold. First, there's the one-sidedness of most of the published articles. It's much easier to get something published in JAMA or the New England Journal of Medicine if it's supportive of gender-affirming care. Second, there have been some major problems with some of the studies published on this subject. In some cases, bad outcomes for patients were overlooked. That's what the evidence reviews have found. And that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence from the public. Flag | Share Recommend (117) Jeremy Peters G • Free speech and education reporter • 4 hours ago @David Bruce If there's one area of agreement between the health professionals who support limiting access to medical treatments and those who don't, it's that they both believe the political interference has been harmful. Medicine is definitely an area where an either/or binary doesn't usually work. And what I've found in my reporting is the same thing Hilary Cass, the noted British pediatrician, found when she conducted a review of gender medicine for the NHS. Evidence for and against these procedures is often misrepresented and cherry picked. So what's a parent who doesn't know how to read academic journals supposed to do? Flag | Share Recommend (56)

A 13 yo rapidly progressed from mild symptoms to respiratory & renal failure. She survived thanks to IMV + ECMO + CRRT.
