How flawed is gender ideology?
Lack of reciprocity! If an individual other than me can freely choose to change gender at will, then I can also freely choose which gender I assign to that individual!
Why do I not e.g. call any individual who changed their biological sex simply transgender. One consequence could be, that legislation would require to have transgender sports, restrooms etc. to address the issue.
Let's hope this human fad and folly will go away quickly!
Perhaps one day in the not so distant future humans will be monosex or have no sex at all thanks to advances in genetics etc. and procreation happens in vitro etc. or longevity will make procreation a thing of the past for humans. However, until then ...

Is climate change part of the new Cold War? You bet!
I think there is a distinct possibility for that!
Western democracies have several powerful enemies (just to name three: Russia, China, Iran).
According to the Art of War, the best war is fought, when the enemy is defeated or significantly weakened with no shot fired or attacking soldier killed. Propaganda, demagoguery, and indoctrination can be very effective tools in the arsenal of these enemies.
Thanks to the relentless efforts of these enemies, climate change has become a religion and pseudoscience in the all too gullible West. Even many of the best Western scientists have become lemmings.
China, Russia and other enemies could not and do not care less about climate change!

Previously unknown Neolithic society in Morocco discovered: North Africa's role in Mediterranean prehistory
These results reveal that the site was the largest agricultural complex from this period in Africa outside of the Nile region. All the evidence points to the presence of a large-scale farming settlement—similar in size to Early Bronze Age Troy.
Importantly, contemporaneous sites with similar pits have been found on the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar in Iberia, where finds of ivory and ostrich eggs have long pointed to African connections. This suggests that the Maghreb was instrumental in wider western Mediterranean developments during the fourth millennium BC. ..."

Researchers uncover shared molecular mechanisms across three types of dementia
- Identified unique changes specific to Alzheimer’s disease and demonstrated that several findings in Alzheimer’s were also observed across the other disorders, identifying targets for therapeutic development.
- Found that “cellular resilience programs” – molecular mechanisms that support cells in response to injury – activated or failed differently, when comparing the same cell types across disorders.
- Were surprised to discover that each of the three disorders had changes in cells of the primary visual cortex – the area of the brain that processes visual information and which was thought to be unaffected by dementia. In progressive supranuclear palsy, this discovery revealed previously unknown changes in brain cells called astrocytes.
- Identified specific changes in the expression of certain tau-related genes and others in progressive supranuclear palsy. These appear to correlate with the unique pattern of brain cell degeneration that is observed in progressive supranuclear palsy.
