Breitbart: Woke Lancet Trades Science for Radical Gender Ideology
The Lancet medical journal has shifted its focus towards gender ideology, redefining sexual differentiation and prioritizing gender identity over biological sex. It now emphasizes the visibility of individuals whose gender differs from their sex in research, claiming that gender is a fluid spectrum.
This change marks a departure from the journal's scientific roots, as it increasingly aligns with progressive agendas on issues like LGBTQ rights and gender equality, while neglecting traditional medical practices. Critics argue that this ideological stance undermines the integrity of medical journalism.
