The U.S. delegation to the Nuremberg trials included Andrew Ivy, M.D., the American Medical Association representative. He offered an idealistic view of American prison research, assuring the public that the highest standards were upheld. Ivy specifically claimed that American prisoners had never been abused or used involuntarily. But he was wrong. In fact, a mere year after nuremberg, the Journal of the American Medical Association praised the Statesville Prison malaria experiments, which violated the Nuremberg proscription against experimentation by using prisoners.

Unfortunately, American researchers have never thought of the code as pertinent to their own research. Yale Law School ethicist Jay Katz, M.D., avers that in the eyes of many American researchers it was "a good code for barbarians but an unnecessary code for ordinary physicians." In The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code, George Annas and Michael Grodin analyze how U.S. investigators rejected Nuremberg and replaced it with naught but hollow assurances that American medical researchers needed no such constraints. The Nuremberg Code is also toothless, carrying no penalties for its breach, and so it is widely ignored."

Trans people are not “AFABS”/“AMABS” who have transitioned.

Furthermore the act of assignment in terms of intersex people often involves mutilation and coercion, it’s a lot more complicated and many of us would rather not have that involved in how we see ourselves and our gender.

My family argued on what gender to raise me. I was barred from experiencing basic things girls were allowed to experience and couldn’t even hang out with them or go to the bathroom with them. I was bullied constantly by boys because I was too sensitive and didn’t want to rough house with them. Me embracing masculinity and femininity has been just as liberating of a trans experience both ways.

"What about men being stronger?" Strong people of any gender should be using their strength to help people??

What about hormones? Anyone with a hormonal issue should be treated with compassion about it.

What about pregnancy? anyone who gets pregnant should be treated accordingly. this is a medical and policy matter.

"The World Cup is a global stage for Black excellence that has led to unforgettable moments, like Cape Verde’s goalkeeper Vozinha becoming a national hero and France’s Kylian Mbappé dominance.

For Black fans, watching Black players win can feel like their own victory. “It’s like a very long-distance family reunion,” said Greg Jackson, an Atlanta-based co-host of “For The Culture UTD” podcast, about watching games with fans across the Black diaspora. “Being able to see that all up close. This feels like this is a part of me.”

During matches, players scoring goals can unite people under one identity –– but it can also bring out the worst in humans, particularly toward Black players and fans.

After the Argentina vs. Cape Verde match, FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, said it was investigating an incident in which racist abuse appeared to be shouted at Black U.S. YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known by his handle “IShowSpeed,” by a supporter in the stands. In a separate incident, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla posted a since-deleted racist screed against France’s Kylian Mbappé. Mbappé later condemned her as a “despicable woman” that is “unworthy” of her position.

Kyle Carr, a Wisconsin-based soccer fan, said he expects what happened to IShowSpeed to happen to other Black fans in the stands too. “It’s just really upsetting that he faces that in the biggest stage,” he said.

To share the range of experiences, HuffPost asked a variety of Black fans to share the unique joys and frustrations with being a Black soccer fan during this year’s World Cup."
