But we're supposed to trust them...

Maya Forstater took to Twitter to point out that it was hardly surprising that the findings showed women having similar clinical features as males when almost half the “women” studied were male.

Others suggested that publishing such a study would undermine the public’s trust in the medical world.

“Same people doing these studies are the folks angry that people are not trusting medical authorities and consuming ‘misinformation’,” tweeted Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute.

Others took issue with the use of ideological terms such as “cis” and “assigned female at birth,” arguing that this discredits the scientific journal.

This is not the first time The Lancet has opted to use the language of gender ideology over scientific terminology. Last year, the cover of its September edition used the term “bodies with vaginas” to describe women.

Lancet is no longer a serious medical outlet.
What ever study is published, you always need to look at the data.

Good news: That doesn't undermine my trust in medicine. I lost that a long, long time ago.

It did finish off the last sliver of my former respect for Lancet, which was a pretty good publication 50 years ago.

I have to wonder about the honest quality of a technical journal that studies men who are pretending to be women and calls them women.

That's something I'd expect to see in "The Enquirer".
