During several speeches before the U.N., U.S. delegates have denounced so-called โgender ideologyโ or pushed for language that โrecognizes women are biologically female and men are biologically male," which leaves no room for the existence of intersex, transgender and nonbinary people.

A sleepy orange butterfly with wings fully extended. It is fluttering over rocky, wet clay soil. Franklin County, NC.
After a day and a half of soaking rain, itโs great to see the sun out. While taking the dogs on a break, I managed to get a couple of photos of a sleepy orange butterfly with wings fully extended & closed. #nature #photography #butterflies #naturephotography #franklincountync

With this proposed oversight restructuring, the NIH will fully be a propaganda arm for politicians who need to siphon off factual information to justify their biased & inaccurate views. US science is being politicized before our very eyes.
