This is outrageous - medical paper argues that wanting healthy, undeformed babies should be "queered"

[Sidaway]

So shocked I'm beyond words. I read on Twitter this morning that a paper, in a mainstream medical journal published by Elsevier, says:

"The authors argue that “gendered” pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies."

The queer lobby must really, really hate children.

What did Elsevier think they were doing by publishing this? They should be called out for this very hard.

Thank you for this information. This surely cant be happening. I want to cry.

Elsevier Apparently are another advisory agency who 'helps researchers and healthcare professionals advance science and improve health outcomes for the benefit of society.'

Really?!
Advance science?!
And how do they do that?

I would turn help, advance, improve outcomes, benefit of society into their opposites

Who are they? What qualifies them to advise scientists and medical experts, apart from an ideology?
Is anyone taking any notice?

Also I am not going to use their nonsense vocabulary as if it means something.

Any medical people on here can give insight? The description of that cry sounds very like a friend of mines daughter, who has a disabling genetic condition called Cri du chat syndrome, it’s French for “cry of the cat” I think. It’s very characteristic of that monotonous mewling cry, and she has unfocused eyes too.

This is a hard topic when a foetus doesn't even have a right to life let alone a right to stay healthy..

Controversial I know but if we're allowed to kill them why can't they be potentially harmed in the womb? (I believe humans have a right to life from conception before anyone thinks I'm condoning this)

Cris du chat is caused by a partial deletion of chromosome 5. A health professional should have picked up on it if this child has the condition, it's a very distinctive sound.

That’s what I thought too, it’s unmistakable.

Roy Harper fan?

Me too. But this was an inevitable consequence of queer theory, I suspect.

Obsessive.

Whatever happened to Jugula ?

All I remember of that is the cover art! I'm more of a 70s person as far as RH is concerned.

This.
99.999% of pregnant women want to give birth to a healthy baby without any complication and are happy for 9 months that their own needs and wants are secondary.
How utterly self centred are these people?

Well it isn't a research paper is it? Its an opinion piece.

What makes you think this is an opinion piece, not a research paper?
