67% of Democrats oppose child sex changes, according to poll
A Harvard Caps Harris Poll revealed that American voters overwhelmingly support restricting sex changes to those under 18 years old.
โช๏ธ78% of American voters support the restrictions: 89% of Republicans, 67% of Democrats and 77% of independent voters.
โช๏ธWhen asked if schools should be explaining to kids under 10 years old that gender is something they can declare, 70% of voters said that schools should not explain this to kids, with 54% of Democrats in agreement.
โช๏ธ49% of respondents said they believe schools are too focused on teaching kids gender and race ideologies.
Even Democrats are predominantly against gender reassignment, but for some reason sex change for minors is promoted as universally supported.

Gender ideology is slowly losing the battle
The online PRRI poll found a significant increase between 2021 and 2023 of Americans across various demographics embracing the fact that humans are either male or female.
โช๏ธIn 2021, 59% of Americans said there are only men and women. By 2022, this number rose to 62% and reached 65% this year.
Respondents of all political affiliations have increasingly acknowledged biological reality, the survey found.
Republicans are most likely to believe in the fact that human beings are either male or female (87% in 2021 and 90% in 2023). Independents are also more likely to say there are only two sexes (60% in 2021 and 66% in 2023). While Democrats are most likely to embrace gender ideology, that voting demographic has also seen a slight shift toward believing in two sexes (38% in 2021 and 44% in 2023).
Every generation has also increasingly leaned toward believing in biological reality between 2021 and 2023. The trend is significant with Generation Z.
In 2023, Generation Z saw a jump in the belief that there are only two genders (rising to 57%, from 43% in 2021). 71% of Generation X and 68% of baby boomers belive there are only two genders.

American Medical Association says BMI is 'racist' because measurement was designed based on white bodies in the 19th century
A leading US medical organization is urging doctors to ditch body mass index (BMI) as the primary measurement for a healthy bodyweight, citing its 'racist' roots.
The American Medical Association, the largest organization of doctors in the US, said the metric has been used for โracist exclusionโ and fails to consider differences in body composition that vary based on race and sex.

๐ฏ๐ต๐Japanโs population projected to fall to 87 million in 2070
Japanโs population, which stood at 126.2 million in 2020, will drop below 100 million by 2056 and to 87 million by 2070, according to reports.
Japanโs population grew continuously after World War II, surpassing 100 million for the first time in 1967, during a period of rapid economic growth. After peaking at 128.1 million in 2008, however, the figure has been falling ever since. The 87-million projected population for 2070 is almost the same level as it was in 1953, when the country was still recovering from the aftermath of the war.
A breakdown of the population composition in 2070 shows 33.7 million people or 38.7% are predicted to be seniors aged 65 or over. In contrast, the working-age population (aged 15 to 64) will be 45.4 million, meaning that the number of workers supporting each senior will decrease from 2.1 to 1.3. The working generation, who normally drive both production and consumption, may become overwhelmed by the extra burden of social security.
The population of children, aged 0 to 14, is predicted to fall to 8.0 million by 2070, representing less than 10% of the total population, leading to concern that Japanese society will not be sustainable.
Japan is gradually dying out. It will be hard both socially and economically.

๐ธ๐ช๐ซ๐ฎ - It has now become clear that Nordic Countries are experiencing a significant decline in fertility rates. Last year Iceland lead the pack with 1.6 TFR & Finland brought up the rear with ~1.3. This year TFR across the region is expected to plummet further.
โช๏ธBased on current trends Icelandโs fertility rate will be only ~1.45 in 2023, Swedenโs approximately the same, Norway sub 1.4, Denmark potentially falling to sub 1.5, & Finland at lowest low TFR at ~1.25 (approximately the same rate as Italy). Lowest TFR on record for several.
โช๏ธIn addition, the Nordic Countries are expected to age rapidly. According to population forecasts for the region, the proportion of 80-year-olds & โฌ๏ธ will rise to 8% in 2030 from 4.3% today. Several of the countries will be aged with the proportion age 65 & โฌ๏ธ well above 20%.
โช๏ธ Thus all the Nordic Countries are forecast to have lower TFR this year than the predictions for Serbia (~1.7), Hungary (~1.6), Bulgaria (1.8) or Romania (~1.55).

A record number of 40-year-olds have never been married
According to a new analysis by the Pew Research Center, a record number of 40-year-old Americans who have never been married reached a record high in 2021.
A quarter of 40-year-olds in the U.S. have never been married. Most of them lived alone, with just 22 percent living with a romantic partner. In 1980 only 6 percent of 40-year-olds had never been married.
We are witnessing the destruction of a nuclear family.

๐ฌ๐ง Bank of England says people of any gender identity can be pregnant
The Bank of England has said that people of any gender identity can be treated as pregnant as it pledged to dedicate a floor of its office to offering gender-neutral lavatories.
In 2021, the central bank introduced a new "family leave" policy that included the gender-neutral term "birthing parent."
Shouldn't the Bank care more about interest rates? While they are going woke, someone is going broke.

Ben & Jerryโs claims 'US exists on stolen Indigenous land'
Ben & Jerryโs has called on the US to return โstolen Indigenous landโ in their Fourth of July message.
On Independence Day, the ice cream company tweeted: "The United States was founded on stolen indigenous land. This Fourth of July, letโs commit to returning it."
On their website, the company wrote that July 4 festivities and celebrations can "distract from an essential truth about this nationโs birth."
They want to go down with Bud Light so badly!
However, this is not the company's first attempt at being progressive. Back in 2020, Ben & Jerryโs already showed its true colors by launching a podcast encouraging listeners to "dismantle systemic racism" and white supremacy. Even ice cream is political these days. ๐ฐ
