“ "I was what would be considered a pretty gender-nonconforming child," said Thain, now 40.” Collateral damage of a society that is determine to encase people in gendered prisons instead of leaving them free to express themselves as they wish. |

You have to ask why anyone would want to change their natural gender in the first place if you want to drag societal collateral damage into it.

This sentence is...er interesting.
I do not know of anyone who is determined to encase anyone in a genedered prison.
Nor do I know of any aspect of our society that is determined encase anyone in a genedered prison.
and anyway wtf are these genedered prisons - I think we should be told!

You must be very ignorant if you are unaware of the way in which society polices women and men in how it polices masculinity and femininity. Come now WKC, don’t play dumb. |

"You must be very ignorant if you are unaware of the way in which society polices women and men in how it polices masculinity and femininity." van to wkc
The verb 'police' is a bit strong. 'Ignore' is more fitting. It's why gender-confused people spend so much time squealing about it - because they need to be noticed.

Back on topic, more amazing modern medicine stuff, hopefully won't be long before its fully tested and safe to use. www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/watch-these-tissue-engineered-spinal-disks-mimic-real-thing?utm_campaign=ScienceNow&utm_source=JHubbard&utm_medium=FacebookEveryone has a backstory. Chances are it’s also a back pain story, because estimates say about two-thirds of adults in the United States will suffer from back or neck pain during their lifetimes. Many instances of back pain are caused by damage or degeneration of the intervertebral disks—the squishy little hockey pucks that sit between vertebrae, helping our spinal columns move and absorb shocks. Severe intervertebral disk degeneration is often treated with spinal fusion surgery, in which a damaged disk is removed and the adjacent vertebrae are welded together to form one solid bone. This leads to some loss of flexibility in the spine and increases the risk of other disks degenerating from compensating for the lost disk. Researchers have used tissue engineering to grow healthy disklike structures in the lab, but few studies have actually tested how these replacement disks perform over time when they’re implanted in living organisms. So in a new study, scientists injected cow stem cells into cylinders of polymer gel and sandwiched the cylinders between two foam end-plates to simulate the mechanics and biochemistry of intervertebral disks. Then, they implanted the disks into the tail spines of 14 rats, and larger versions into the necks of seven goats. They observed the animals’ movement and health postsurgery for several weeks, then euthanized the animals and examined how the engineered disks held their shape while being subjected to compressing forces compared to the animals’ native disks. Not only did the disks become stable and well-integrated into the native tissue of the animals’ spinal columns several weeks postsurgery, they were able to withstand stress forces just as effectively as the animals’ native disks, the team reports today in Science Translation Medicine. Although the researchers say there is still considerable work to be done before tests begin in humans, the fact that large animals like goats responded well to the treatment is a step forward for backs everywhere. |

I had the dubious pleasure of seeing inside the research labs of a major pharm co a few years back and it caused me to resign from my work.
Taking farm animals to the abattoir has caused me to stop farming meat.
And I'm astonished that bullfighting, the torture and murder of animals for public spectacle, is still legal.
You're right. Maybe I'm not the best judge on this.

This is fcuking staggering!!!
More than 140,000 people died from measles last year as the number of cases around the world surged once again, official estimates suggest.
Most of the lives cut short were children aged under five.
The situation has been described by health experts as staggering, an outrage, a tragedy and easily preventable with vaccines.
Huge progress has been made since the year 2000, but there is concern that incidence of measles is now edging up.
In 2018, the UK - along with Albania, the Czech Republic and Greece, lost their measles elimination status.
And 2019 could be even worse.
The US is reporting its highest number of cases for 25 years, while there are large outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Ukraine.
The Pacific nation of Samoa has declared a state of emergency and unvaccinated families are hanging red flags outside their homes to help medical teams find them.

Why did only a few die of measles before the medical industry started meddling with the natural human immune system? You're making the human race weak and the disease more virulent.

Why are you convinced few did? Oh I know, it suits your f**k*d up world view to pretend infant mortality rates pre modern medicine and vaccinations wasn't staggeringly high, in the mid Victorian times the chances of making it to five was about one in three, and many of those deaths were measles. Don't believe me, go to any Victorian cemetery and see the gravestones where single families buried multiple children under five.

I had measles when I was a kid. I just punched it in the face because I'm so hard.

Kids died from the poverty and malnutrition which made them too weak to resist everyday bugs. My view's always been that you treat the root cause of illness by having a decent society which gives everyone the same opportunities and benefits, not a society which reduces people to a physically weak state. That's how to prevent disease. Medicine should be plan B, not the sacred beast you're trying to turn it into. |

Nah. Children in middle class households didn't die of poverty and malnutrition bu, there they are. They died of diseases which don't kill us now or don't even present themselves.
