I appreciate your question, and I will repeat my comment to Jaynee, who had the same concern. This topic is actually well-aligned with FAIR in Medicine's mission to "support the scientific method, viewpoint diversity, and rigorous inquiry in the search for objective truth, and promote a culture of respectful, open debate." Intolerance is the enemy of free and open inquiry and scientific debate:
Our firm belief in the importance of objective, scientific truth is also the basis upon which FAIR advocates for the rights of biological women and girls in sports and other protected spaces.
Last May we announced that FAIR in Medicine would broaden its scope to explore the role of informed consent in the search for objective scientific truth. We believe that an open and honest exploration of SSRI benefits, risks, and impacts is integral to this inquiry. Without proper informed consent, doctors cannot properly serve patients:
sexism and racism go hand in hand. You rarely have one without the other. Also this child had his brain experimented on from the minute this child was conceived. he didn't stand a chance. evidently people couldn't tolerate the mother's behavior when she was a child and put her on SSRI'S. She grew up and had a baby who was exposed in utero. we need more tolerance so we stop labeling children mentally ill and then drugging them. People who are racialized are often the first to get labeled and drug in their childhood. It just doesn't happen to white kids. Did we forget the APA apologized for their racist ways. I hope someday they apologize for their Patriarchal ways that can cause as much harm as their racist ways have but I won't hold my breath. Teen age girls are being drugged at higher number than teen age boys. this reeks of sexism which is as rooted in our culture just as racism is.
"it just doesn't happen to white kids?!!!" You're living in lala land. I know oodles of white autistic kids on antipsychotics.... Their white parents are desperate to drug them, desperate for something to fix their intolerable behaviour... You're living in an ivory castle but hey, anything to keep the myth that bad things only happen to black people
I agree. This shouldnтАЩt be a place for publishing on any and all topics as long as it challenges orthodoxy. There are other venues for that. In fact I initially assumed this piece was in the Free Press, which I also subscribe to, until I looked more closely.
We are compelled to publish this series because it is in alignment with FAIR in Medicine's mission to "support the scientific method, viewpoint diversity, and rigorous inquiry in the search for objective truth, and promote a culture of respectful, open debate." Intolerance is the enemy of free and open inquiry and scientific debate:
If you support FAIR's advocacy for the rights of biological women and girls in sports and other protected spaces, then you support the need for objective, scientific truth.
Last year we announced that FAIR in Medicine would broaden its scope to explore the need for objective, scientific truth with regard to SSRI benefits, risks, and impacts:
In the future, we will explore other areas in which scientific debate and inquiry have been stifled by intolerance to the detriment of doctors and patients.
Hope this helps to clarify our purpose in publishing this series. And I do hope The Free Press decides to cover this important issue, and others, that FAIR in Medicine will be taking on in the future.
I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I do think that it stretches the notion of тАЬintoleranceтАЭ a bit thin to include this topic, but it certainly deserves attention.
What does this have to do with intolerance and racism?
Concerned that we are getting far afield here from the purpose of this organization.
