One of the major ideas the political left<\/a> is currently supporting is transgenderism<\/a>. The traditional idea of two genders<\/a>–male and female–is regarded (by the left) as old fashioned and (in some cases) bigoted. Never mind what your DNA<\/a> says–it’s how you feel that matters. There have been a number of people who have gone through the process of a sex change<\/a> and regretted it, but somehow they have not received the positive coverage of those who parade their change around. Well, even science has gone political on the matter.<\/p>\n

Breitbart <\/a>is reporting the following today:<\/p>\n

Bath Spa University<\/a> stopped Psychotherapist James Caspian from examining cases of people who had surgery to reverse a \u201cgender reassignment<\/a>\u201d after finding they regretted the decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…He pointed out that studies of the percentage of people regretting \u201ctransitioning\u201d their gender ranged from a couple of per cent to 20 per cent, and said new research was needed as attitudes changed and practitioners observed a rise in those reversing surgery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The university initially approved his research, but after he proposed finding more participants online and sent his ideas to the ethics sub-committee for clearance, he was told: \u201cengaging in a potentially politically incorrect piece of research carries a risk to the University\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAttacks on social media may not be confined to the researcher<\/a> but may involve the university,\u201d university authorities added, The Times<\/a><\/em> reports<\/a>. \u201cThe posting of unpleasant material on blogs or social media may be detrimental to the reputation of the university.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So if the truth may be unpopular or cause anything negative to be said about the University, the University does not want to know what the truth is. Wow. So much for the scientific method!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
