People are like Pavlov's dogs, they hear some words and they get distracted from the main issues. The use of words like, Woke, Political Correctness, the Nanny State and Cancel Culture is just sledging when people don't have reasons for opposing something.No, every tax dollar we waste in R&D is worth about $30 in the general economy. Investigating and / or treating superfluous health conditions with wasted tax dollars is a tragedy. It's woke madness.
The researchers are begging for funds, and now they have to allocate hard funding for waste targets just to avoid being labelled discriminatory.
Further, it will completely distort / bias double blind trials, because some targets aren't genuinely afflicted and never could be afflicted by real world conditions.
The extremism inflicting humanity is unquestionable, many called it alarmist when people rallied against transgender in sport, and yet the protestors are and were correct.
Given the opportunity, eventually there will be some "bloke" somewhere who mounts a legal challenge claiming being excluded from a women's health trial is discriminatory, this is the way humanity behaves and there is no point denying it! Actually, it could well be more valid to include people who "Identify as Male" than those who identify as Female"!
PS; Identify as "Kangaroo", my sexuality "Indeterminate", so my pronouns are "Flyer or Boomer" My family has been here on this land the longest of any, and my ancestors were slaughtered by the 1st human arrivals, I'll be filing for compensation shortly!
