They're banning the word gender?! That's an absolute fuckton of articles, most of which have nothing to do with trans people
Lysenkoism 2.0 let's go!
this is probably as close to we're going to get to a literal recreation of the burning of the berlin clinic 
since it's 2025 and not 1925.
I hope you're right, but I fear you aren't. I think this will get worse.
oh yeah for sure, all i'm saying is that it's probably going to involve digitally accessible information and not attacks on centralized institutional keepers of this knowledge. mostly because that's just not how that's materially realized anymore. so if anyone is thinking to themselves "well i'm going to have to take this action when they burn the gender clinic," it's probably time to feel that kind of way.
Every bureaucrat responsible should be included in a Nuremberg Trial.
While it feels like the last few years have been a car careening towards a cliff, it's beginning to seem like we are now mid-air
- gender
Oh we're doing gender abolition? 
Banning words in scientific research? I mean this is getting beyond even the stuff they pretend China is doing.
Just to clarify, this is for pending CDC authored papers, not published papers or papers by non-CDC authors.
Although I am very worried that something similar could happen to PubMed/the National Library of Medicine.
This is incredibly stupid, thankfully we have the arxive
absolutely subhuman country
Good thing this country is dying. Death to America
Oh neat we're at the "destroying transgender research, setting back the world at least a century" stage 
That's not good
I don't think knowledge can be destroyed in this day and age.
Research institutions are more international and globalised than they were in the 20th century.
Even if american fascists started burning Research documents and books, the knowledge would most likely not be lost if it's already shared on an international level.
As usual, american politics is completely detached from material reality and can only deal in aesthetics and theater.
data rots
Sure, it would in the US when the yanks completely remove themselves from scientific studies.
But the current research and discoveries will continue their development in other places like Germany, France, China, or other nations who research the same things.
If the US banned mathematics for using Arabic numerals, mathematic discoveries would still continue elsewhere.
The US seems to cannibalise itself and speed running its own collapse. It should be celebrated. A destroyed or diminished US is an absolute blessing for the rest of the world.
They fucking banned the word gender?!
No more "Joe many liberals" jokes in my scientific research wtf this sucks
Luv 2 b considered 'not a person' 
I’ve heard apolitical people irl discussing politics
Extremely sus to say the least. I might even say we are cooked and whatever plan you have to leave this country will only delay the inevitable
I for one support the CDC in their attack on US scientific capabilities.
Sigh.
This is just slop for the hogs. The economy is about to get tanked and this is an attempt to keep the chuds somewhat appeased.
I can absolutely get behind banning "biologically male/female" but damn is this just dystopian as fuck.
If we're getting USSR style academic censorship we should at least get a USSR social economy

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
