1984
More like 1930s Germany.
In case anyone is unfamiliar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_für_Sexualwissenschaft#Nazi_era
The first books the Nazis burned were scientific research notes about trans people.
They then executed everyone with a brain. Drs, teachers, engineers, scientists, researchers, etc

Hey there. Just letting you know that in general trans people and their allies absolutely do not want to be the center of public attention like this. They didn’t ask for it.
You’re right, there’s no good reason everyone should be so completely focused on them as a group. But that wasn’t their choice. That was the choice Nazis made when the first books they burned were about gender and sexuality.
That was the choice Nazis made when they spent the last decade and the foreseeable future demonizing and discriminating against transgender people.
Not because they asked for it. Not because they deserve it. But because they are the easiest target. Small in numbers. Complex by nature. Difficult to understand for the uninformed and the disinformed. “Different.”
They don’t consider themselves the center of the universe. Bigots do. Bigots have decided that transgender issues should be the thing everyone cares about right now. If you want to blame anyone, blame them.

Well stated
How dare I inform people about objective historical facts that relate to modern day news stories 🙄
You came into a discussion about trans topics being censored and are angry that trans people are being discusses? Do you think this thread is the “fucking center of the universe”?

You do not have any self control. You are putting yourself in these positions. This is the Internet. You could just find something else, but I have the feeling your the one with a prosecution complex.

Oh no. You got reminded black people exist. Your day has been ruined.
Get a life and find a therapist.

It’s objectively true that the German nazi party first went after gender studies they didn’t like. It wasn’t called transgender at the time, but that’s what we call it today.
I’m a straight white dude and it takes very little thinking to see that trans people are being targeted as “the other” again. So, not kindly, go fuck yourself.
There’s this thing called empathy. Maybe you should look into it.

Because it costs you nothing.

typical human.
Oh shit we just found the dumbest fuck on Lemmy lol
A take so dumb, wrong and out of context that I don’t know how to respond to it. Wow

Impressive that it is actually true, I thought it is an exaggeration. From Wikipedia:
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, came to power
On 6 May 1933, a group of students … the students proceeded to shout “Brenne Hirschfeld!” (“Burn Hirschfeld!”) while ransacking and vandalizing the Institute, tearing pictures from the walls, pouring inkwells onto carpets, and destroying exhibitions while the band played outside.

Yeah, when they teach about book burnings they never mention that fact. It also serves as a reminder that trans people are not just a modern phenomenon. The Nazis’ reasons for targeting trans people then are the same as right-wingers today, they look for a small, marginalized group and seize on existing prejudice to sow division and divide and conquer. The Nazis claimed trans people were a Jewish plot to weaken and destroy the Ayran race, and you can still see echos of that in some right-wing rhetoric today.

In Oldspeak, this might be rendered:
CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. (Including gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, and more)
Source?
On review I agree, we need better sources before we can be confident of this story.
Edit: It seems to be real.
Thank you. I’m surprised, this is the science community and I’m downvoted for asking for a source. I thought this community valued proof.
The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals
The scope is thankfully limited only to CDC scientists.
Not that this makes it good news by any stretch.
This is going to push research money squarely under the thumb of corporate control, which is of course the aim here. Privatize everything.
I do know scientists hate having their work paywalled or censored so I’d expect sci-hub to get a lot more popular real quick, but many will definitely self censor their official publications to keep their jobs til orange hitler shoots himself in a bunker somewhere.
I don’t even know about corporate control here but we’re only going to get “research” that “aligns with policy”, rather than quantifying facts
I hope no one resubmits anything.
They would be rejected
Publish it somewhere else. Don’t let the fascists control data and reality.
If only publishing wasn’t such a painful process. Maybe other journals can fastrack retracted cdc papers
Theoretically, this could be the impetus that Sparks Open journals, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem very likely.
Don’t they know just because you’ve banned a word, doesn’t mean that the item or thing automatically poofs out of existence?
This is that easy. There’s a few words I’d love to ban. How about Elmo? And Turd
It’s just the first step. You don’t acknowledge they exist on paper or in speech. That makes it much easier to turn against them physically. It’s still up in the air whether or not they take the final steps of making their existence illegal. I think they will.
It makes it harder to pursue science when you cannot use the terns others in ypur field use.
Wiping trans people from existence is easier for them to do when nobody is allowed to talk about them.
Unfortunately, this kind of control of language does work in the long term.
This is a 21st century version of book burning.
This is Project 2025 in action.
“forbidden terms”
…must be that “free speech” I keep hearing about. This is obviously a first amendment issue, right?
Right?
to be fair you’ve been hearing about it from this troglodyte:
I don’t see the difference between the two pictures. Is the left one supposed to be black and white? And the right being in colour?
One on the right seems pretty black and white too.
How long until this evil administration forces some citizens to sew a yellow star or pink triangle on their clothes?
Yellow star is so last world war.
It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around
Look at all this cancel culture….
What the actual fuck?! It’s like living in a fever-driven nightmare. We can only hope there are backups of the un-purged documents.
This is… This is bad! Wow.
Why not move all journals out of the US or move all research out of US journals. Who cares if for instance JAMA publishes nothing this year? Nearly 100% of the value was always in the scientists who write and review the work
it’s not US journals which are affected, it’s the scientists working for the CDC
Oh look…
The US is embedding a totalitarian theonomic government. A new, (soon to be) militarized, hierarchy regime of religious fanaticism and newly created social classes, in which DEI is being brutally subjugated.
I swear I’ve seen this show before…
Back up everything. Don’t let it be memory-holed! Holy crap.
If you have the space for it, please consider helping re-host the Anna’s Archive backup.
Is linking to Anna’s Archive allowed here? Guess I’ll find out.
https://annas-archive.org/torrents
If I had the space and a VPN, I would help maintain it. The least I can do is point others towards the path
This needs more upvotes. Granted, the time to back up everything was when project 2025 hit the internet last year.
