Miranda Yardley calls out the predator

I get the same as Nauticant: Miranda, the Twitter, Kiwifarms.

Multiple valid options for the P, really.

I'd hazard a guess at The Person Who Must Not Be Named. Other people might choose another word for P.

Can anyone tell me what TPWMNBN means? I missed it. Sorry to go back so far.

Duck duck go has theothermacain.com page about him as the top hit. It doesn't pull its punches either.

And I agree with Scientists that the fact that Yaniv is being defended by the tech world most likely points to a certain set of shared interests leading to backchannel relationships and communication. Which would explain a lot about the major social media platforms, honestly.

*spoken

For me search pulls up Miranda's blog as the first hit, Kiwi Farms thread as the third, Reddit GC as the fourth, and a YT video about his abuse of the DMCA process as the fifth. I didn't watch the video, so that's not why it's pulling it up.

Absolutely the Streisand effect Ereshkigal. Also aiding it is the fact that we ensure that his name and activity is being speak on as many social media outlets as possible. He can't stop them all and we're not in Canada so what's he gonna do? Sue us for using his own words and public pictures. He can run but he can't hide forever, that goes for them all. The tide is turning and their days are numbered!

Miranda's blog is the top hit for me too (and I'm a long way from any of you lot), but I think that's because I have previously visited his site many times before - and accessed the page directly - so Google cleverly puts it top for me

Did someone say "Streisand"?

I think it's obvious Yaniv has bought twitter followers. Can you buy or automise search engine hits?

I just googled the name and Miranda’s blog was the top hit. I wonder if that happens wherever you are?

Tenure? A rare beast these days. Not even dead man’s shoes anymore... another reason I left.

Haha I know 😂 I'll see if there is anything I can hint though. This is the problem though. No one is confident enough to speak out about this and feel their career won't be ruined merely over an opposing opinion of one issue, that at times is unrelated. It's madness. I commenced another post grad as a mature to switch to animal biosciences as working with and about humans is becoming impossible while being able to maintain some personal integrity, unless you're in a secured, industry renowned or respected or tenured position. It's like everywhere has been corrupted. Makes me think my son's theory on what's happening with the LHC and quantum mechanics and that it's like a software programme we're in that has a virus, isn't so far off the mark.

Thank you for the YouTube link R0wantrees, listened to the whole interview, Corinna comes across as very thoughtful, gave me new perspectives.

That sounded like I’m telling you off . I’m not, obviously

Don’t get them into trouble - they’ll have signed all kinds of non disclosures.

Bowlofbabelfish I will ask my friend when I speak to them whether I can mention even vague details without it having implications for them.

I can remember Peter Tatchell being quietly dropped like a hot potato years ago when his...preferences...became more widely known.

I see Julie Bindel has a long memory

I’m very interested in which clinical trial CRO or sponsor is pushing inclusivity like that. It’d be enough to sink a trial - there’s a huge economic and safety pressure against it

Bowlofbabelfish absolutely right. Sex chromosomes have direct effects on different systems that include the renal and even the nervous system. One of the biggest issues at present is that drugs have different effects on male and female and with current long standing drugs, their design and development don't always take that into account, meaning that they react differently in male and female. That's why it's been important and progress to be able to perform clinical trials that have equal specific sex data to work with. The denial of biology is ludicrous. We have 2 sexes that are designed to produce one of two gametes that are required for continuation of the species. This is the true throughout mammals. There are no "other" sexes, there are conditions and disorders which can create anomalies but they do not include fully formed men saying they "feel" like women.

Sex does matter very much sometimes in medicine. Some viruses seem to affect the sexes differently for example. Other conditions present differently in men and women (heart attacks being one example.)
Biology matters

Which would be fine, for a consenting informed adult to take the hit on their treatment taking longer or things being missed etc

But all this campaigning for it all to be blanket policies well I don't consent to that. It's like a toddler destroying a you. Well if I can't have it neither can you.

Yeah, basically they used the eGFR (a measure of how well the kidneys are functioning) for the sex the individual self reported. The Male and female reference ranges are different and so treatment was based on the wrong measure - the person had, at the time I read the article, stage four kidney disease which is basically end stage - the kidney does not recover from that.

It’s worth pointing out as well that testosterone given to a female also strains the kidney.
