Doctors, trans surgery, and language

The New Neo Posted on July 2, 2022 by neoJuly 2, 2022

First, a bit of language clarification. When Jordan Peterson called the doctor who removed Ellen/Elliot Page’s breasts a “criminal doctor,” he wasn’t necessarily saying that the doctor was violating a law and should be tried and jailed. If a person … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on June 15, 2022 by neoJune 15, 2022

How do you write an article about tampons and for the most part avoid using the word “women” when talking about menstruation? Like this: People who menstruate are saying it’s hard to find tampons on store shelves across the U.S. … Continue reading →

The definition of “urban”

The New Neo Posted on June 13, 2022 by neoJune 13, 2022

I recently came across a statistic indicating that “In 2020, about 82.66 percent of the total population in the United States lived in cities and urban areas.” That rather astounded me. But what I didn’t know (and what a commenter … Continue reading →

“Reproductive health” = abortion

The New Neo Posted on May 11, 2022 by neoMay 11, 2022

Commenter “Another Mike” has a question: Does it seem odd to anyone else that the pro-abortion crowd uses the term “reproductive health” when abortion is actually anti-reproduction? It doesn’t seem odd. It seems rather typical of the left, which likes … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on April 23, 2022 by neoApril 23, 2022

It takes a biologist to define “woman”…

The New Neo Posted on March 23, 2022 by neoMarch 23, 2022

The New Neo Posted on March 23, 2022 by neoMarch 23, 2022
