On Thursday, Science, one of the top scientific publications in the world, ran a letter titled, “Transgender rights rely on inclusive language,” suggesting that biological sex is “context-dependent” and not binary.
If you had to go back and re-read that last sentence, let me assure you, you did indeed read it correctly. The letter — authored by two neuroscientists and a graduate student in biology — argues for “inclusive language around sex diversity,” and that, in the five years since the National Institutes of Health announced that research proposals should include sex as a biological variable, society has become hostile to transgender people.
The NIH’s directive was originally instated to address the fact that biomedical studies including only male participants lacked application to women. Pre-Clown World, this would be uncontroversial. But behold the pathway of thinking social justice ideology has plowed while I mourn my former field of neuroscience.
Anyone who follows my writing will know by now that sex is determined by gametes: eggs and sperm. As a result, there are only two sexes, and biological sex is not a spectrum. Intersex people, who possess a combination of female and male anatomy (and who are frequently tokenized by activists as a justification for outlandish claims), typically prefer to live as male or female, within a binary conception of sex.
It is certainly important to be sensitive regarding one’s choice of language, as reference to biological sex has been used to discriminate against transgender, intersex, and gender-nonconforming people. But this sensitivity doesn’t require separating sex from its associated traits (for example, as detailed in the letter, remaining agnostic as to whether development of testicles is indicative of someone being male), or detaching sex from gender (how someone identifies), considering that the two differ for fewer than 1% of us.

We are in trouble. Science seems utterly incapable of policing itself and has become simply Politics. We are in a sort of Dark Age.
Basic biology, two sexes, male and female.
Languages have genders.
Why can a toad recognize if it is male or female but we cannot? Peak clown world.
The good news: stupid is as quickly and easily erased as it is induced.

Have these biological “scientist” not read:
“Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning, MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,” Matthew 19:4. KJV ?

It’s easy.
XX - female
XY = male
2 sexes, male & female.
The rest are lies.

Yes. I admit I would have a difficult time with anyone who said people have 57 different genders and you can sort of be "whatever". I don't like that. But, it does get into a "philosophical" realm where the essence of things might be debateable. Some fuzziness seems slightly built-in for those discussions.
But "biological sex"? Oh, That's different. That's clear cut. Two sexes, male and female. XX and XY. Nothing more to be said. There is no fuzziness.
But to see actual "scientists" specifically discussing "biological sex" and claiming that there are many genders ... just leaves me shaking my damn head.
Bingo... Thus it has always been, and thus it always will be, no matter how some would lie and obfuscate.
“Transgender rights...”
It always comes down to that. There is only one right on earth and that is the one granted by God to be made alive. Everything after that is a privilege. Privileges can be taken away and are. There is no such thing as transgender rights.

Shut up and just trust “the science”.
I’m a little green alien. Prove my gender.
