UN Expert Who Called For Ban on Men in Women’s Sports Gets Smeared for Using Accurate Language in Report

(Natural News)—An expert at the globalist United Nations who called for barring men from women’s sports has been smeared for allegedly using “demeaning language” in her report.

The report by UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women Reem Alsalem urged countries and sporting organizations to prohibit “men who identify as women” to compete in sports events for biological females. She wrote that allowing these transgender women in such competitions leads to biological women and girls experiencing “extreme psychological distress” due to physical imbalance with rivals, loss of fair competition and educational and economic opportunities, and violations of privacy.

Alsalem also noted the damage caused by allowing gender-confused males to compete with females have caused in the field of women’s sports in recent years. More than 600 female athletes have lost around 890 medals in more than 400 competitions, in 29 different sports, as a result.

“Giving men so-called hormone blockers so they can compete with women, as some sports leagues do, doesn’t work,” she remarked. Such medications do not reduce men’s natural advantage, and strong hormone drugs can even harm an athlete’s health, noted LifeSiteNews.

The rapporteur also cited the risk of injury to female athletes. This risk increases when biologically female competitors face off against biological males. According to Alsalem, physical harm suffered by female athletes as a result of males competing against them can be characterized as violence. (Related: Men pretending to be “women” can no longer box against real females, says World Boxing Council.)

“Alsalem’s approach challenges the assumption of Western and UN-backed gender policies, which are based on gender as a social construct unrelated to biological sex,” LifeSiteNews pointed out. But instead of praise, the rapporteur and her document received condemnation from representatives of UN member nations.

Dylan Lang, a member of the U.S. mission to the United Nations, rebuked the rapporteur and the document she presented. The diplomat, who was wearing a heart-shaped pin with the colors of the Progress Pride flag during the presentation, accused Alsalem of using “degrading language,” “bullying” and spreading “gender misinformation.” Lang was not alone in his condemnation, as delegates from the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Mexico, Colombia and other nations also joined in.

“Sex must be understood in its ordinary meaning to mean biological sex,” Alsalem said, citing a declaration from the 1995 UN World Conference on Women held in the Chinese capital Beijing. She continued that the idea of “sex based on biology” has been established in the international human rights catalog, as opposed to the concept of “gender.” According to the rapporteur, the two should not be confused.”

“Human rights language and principles must continue to be consistent with science and facts, including biological ones. Multiple studies have given evidence that athletes born male have a performance advantage in sports throughout their lives, although this is most apparent after puberty.”

Despite the condemnation she received, Alsalem appears to have found an ally in the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law (OI). Julia Ksiazek, an analyst for the Warsaw-based OI, put in her two cents on the rapporteur’s findings.

“Alsalem identified a major problem that became fully apparent at the Paris Olympics this year – when it became evident that women were no longer competing against women, but also men who ‘identify’ as women,” Ksiazek said.

“The UN expert rightly noted in her report that athletes’ mental identification does not in any way affect their biological predisposition, which they have by being men. This type of situation is the result of lobbying in international law for the concept of ‘sex with social context’ – gender.”

Fake Meat Industry Now Demanding Public Subsidies Due to Lack of Customer Interest

(Natural News)—The fake meat industry is now demanding public subsidies to prop itself up, given that customers have spoken with their wallets and said “no” to lab-grown meat.

Data from AgFunderNews cited by the National Pulse reveals that the industry is in dire straits due to dwindling money. Funding for the lab-grown meat sector peaked at $989 million in 2021 but dipped slightly to $807 million in 2022. This dropped by almost 80 percent to just a mere $177 million last year.

“Industry experts claim they need substantial government assistance to survive, with various sectors within agrifood tech seeing a steep decline in investments since early 2022 and private capital for [lab-grown] meat almost vanishing,” the Pulse pointed out. “The decline in funding has prompted many startups to reduce staff, consolidate operations or, in some cases, cease operations altogether.”

Robert Jones, vice president for global public affairs at Dutch startup Mosa Meat, highlighted this issue during the Future Food-Tech Summit in late September. He told participants: “There’s a valley of death we’re not going to cross as an industry without a massive infusion of public investment.”

Andrew Ive, founder and managing general partner at venture capital (VC) firm Big Idea Ventures, echoed Jones’ sentiments. He emphasized that VC money won’t be funding capital expenses for large-scale commercial facilities for fake meat production.

“I think it’s going to take [a country] like the Netherlands or the [United Arab Emirates],” he told AgFunderNews, stressing the immense capital needed. “Maybe Saudi Arabia. It could be … Japan.”

Ive continued: “For me, what makes sense is [the mix of] cultivated with traditional meat – a bit like adding ethanol to gasoline for cars. So I think the way this will ultimately be rolled out in the marketplace will be where 20 percent of the meat content of a dumpling in China, for example, will end up being cultivated meat as opposed to traditional meat.”

Customers have decided: Fake meat is a NO for them

According to the Pulse, the economic case for lab-grown meat is “deteriorating rapidly.” In the same manner, the environmental and health cases for it are also on a decline.

Recent studies have suggested that fake meat is far from being a green alternative to the traditional livestock farming it ostensibly seeks to replace. One such paper by scientists from the University of California, Davis found that lab-grown meat produces up to 25 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) when scaled up to the current supply in the market.

According to the paper, the environmental impact of fake meat “is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production.” The increased CO2 levels would be necessary for the purification processes that supply nutrients to cultured cells. The study defines this process as “the removal of cells from an animal or plant and their subsequent growth in a favorable artificial environment.” (Related: CLIMATE FAIL: Study finds lab-grown meat generates up to 25 TIMES MORE CO2 than conventional beef production.)

“The use of refinement methods contributes significantly to the economic and environmental costs associated with pharmaceutical products since they are both energy and resource intensive,” the study authors wrote.

Aside from this, concerns about fake meat being a product of “immortalized cell lines” that replicate in perpetuity – cancer, in other words. A February 2023 op-ed in the Pulse by the Raw Egg Nationalist, which cited a story from Bloomberg, warned of the dangers of eating such edible cancer cells.

“The problem is that the materials used to make the product – ‘immortalized cell lines’ – replicate forever, just like cancer. Which means, in effect, that they are cancer. Although these cell lines are widely used in scientific research, they’ve never been used to produce food before.”
