Good exposé of ESRC funded "research" into gender

[stumbledin]

Sometime ago there were a couple of threads about a research project funded by the ESRC which was so loaded, ie which gender where you born.

Some of us tried to question how the ESRC had every got into the position of giving money to something so flawed.

There is an article (quite lengthy - could have been a bit shorter and punchier) exposing how fraudulent the whole project is.

Would be great it the ESRC was made to feel embarrased but it may be that this is just another example of how far the trans agenda has got that even funders no longer dare question the trans narrative.

I think this are (some of) the previous threads:

Thanks for sharing, will take a look.

ah, these people fund Sally Hines and her pregnant men, don't they?

god, aims 2 a 4 of that research project are scary:

2. To contribute to ongoing policy and political discussions relating to current legal reform proposals, while taking a longer-term approach.

3. To contribute to broader discussions about the changing character of gender and the contribution law can make to how it is changing.

it's all about influencing those in power and society in general.

This is both depressing and very very scary

Staging a study would not be difficult it is however highly unethical. If you have a desired outcome though and no ethics that would be of no concern.
