For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools…

…And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased [reprobate] mind to do what ought not to be done.

WHO manual for medics dismisses biological sex

Reprinted from The Christian Institute [in the U.K.]

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced it will be updating guidance to say that “sex is not limited to male or female”.

The Gender Mainstreaming manual, first published in 2011, is used by medics worldwide for advice and planning purposes.

WHO claims the guidance is being revised in light of “new scientific evidence and conceptual progress on gender, health and development”.

Gender identity ‘spectrum’

The new version will go “beyond binary approaches to gender and health to recognize gender and sexual diversity, or the concepts that gender identity exists on a continuum and that sex is not limited to male or female”.

Professor Jenny Gamble of Coventry University called the change a “dismissal of basic biology” which is a “key determinant of health and illness”.

The midwifery expert said: “Not being clear about basic biology opens the door to a range of problems, including very poor health communication but also distorted data.”

‘Postmodern and unscientific’

Another expert in the field, Dr. Karleen Gribble said “there is no new scientific evidence suggesting there are more than two sexes”.

Gribble, from Western Sydney University, said: “The idea that there are more than two sexes, is a postmodern, unscientific understanding that should not be supported by the WHO”.

The U.K. donated about £114,000,000 [Roughly $139,000,000 U.S.] to the WHO in 2020-2021, making it the organisation’s top voluntary funding contributor for that year.

The revision is currently being rolled out for final feedback from relevant stakeholders.
