[A] couple of months ago as I poked around the worldy widey weby late one evening I came across Rothblatt’s connection with Dolly the Sheep. How on earth had I managed to miss that he’d bought Revivicor, the company that produced Dolly? Here’s Dolly looking pleased with herself that no one can afford to turn her into lamb chops.
Even more importantly Rothblatt’s purchase of Revivicor, I discovered, is the reason Forbes announced in July this year he was now not a multi-millionaire as I assumed…but a full-blown billionaire.
I started this article with comments from Megyn Kelly. She was responding to a post by the brilliant Wesley Yang who drew attention to the fact Martine Rothblatt is now on the board of one of the finest medical institutions on the planet: the Mayo Clinic.
Among the fields in which the Mayo is considered the highest-ranking out of all the hospitals in the United States is gynaecology.
It rather matters then that when it comes to gynaecological issues the Mayo now routinely refers not to women but to…. people. For example when discussing high risk pregnancy it refers to… pregnant people.
All sorts of hospitals have adopted this insane language and the ideology that inspires it which have no transwomen on their Board. The problem, of course, is that Rothblatt is no ordinary transwomen. He is hugely wealthy. I mean, humungously. And he’s about to get even more so.
Whether we like it or not this is going to give Rothblatt immense power and influence. Even more than when the gender critical movement began to describe him as “the father of the transgender empire”. What is he likely to do with this power?
Is there anything we can do to halt his onward march towards the Singularity, the moment transhumanists like Rothblatt hope is imminent? When genetic medicine and AI make the abolition of not just the gender binary possible…but human biology itself.
I’m intrigued. Maybe someone who is a paid subscriber can post further details of this story?
