Conspicuously absent from the "pro-science" progressive movement is a pro-science perspective on gender. In fact, it's probably more accurate to characterize their perspective on gender as anti-science, enforcing dogma rooted more in the work of wayward Women's Studies departments than biological reality.
Just this April, for instance, Bill Nye, anointed disciple of the pro-science Left, framed the idea that gender exists on a spectrum from which people can choose points that match their identities as settled science.
But in an interview published Thursday with the Weekly Standard, dissident feminist Camille Paglia gave a compelling take on the contemporary progressive dogma on transgenderism. "Although I describe myself as transgender (I was donning flamboyant male costumes from early childhood on), I am highly skeptical about the current transgender wave, which I think has been produced by far more complicated psychological and sociological factors than current gender discourse allows," Paglia explained.
"The cold biological truth is that sex changes are impossible. Every single cell of the human body remains coded with one's birth gender for life. Intersex ambiguities can occur, but they are developmental anomalies that represent a tiny proportion of all human births," pronounced Paglia. The bestselling author also condemned "the escalating prescription of puberty blockers" for children, referring to the practice as "a criminal violation of human rights."
"It is certainly ironic," she observed, "how liberals who posture as defenders of science when it comes to global warming (a sentimental myth unsupported by evidence) flee all reference to biology when it comes to gender."
To correct these trends, Paglia turned to a proposition (snip) calling on gender studies departments to reintroduce the serious study of biology into their curriculums. "Biology has been programmatically excluded from Women's Studies and Gender Studies programs for almost 50 years now," she remarked.

High-tech genital mutilation.
From time to time, Camille Paglia sees reality...even though she defends her homosexual lifestyle choice as “natural”.
That would be quite a trick. The whole point of "studies" programs is to avoid anything that, done properly, is rigorous, objective, and hard.
Openly flaunting one’s mental illness be it schizophrenia, homosexuality and its various permutations, or the anti fertility cult feminism is at the core of progressive politics.
Folks - To best grasp a better image of God Almighty, we need both Male and Female in their full God-given nature.
Gender-Change-Denier!
Bill Nye is a dedicated homosexual, so it isn’t surprising that he would take the same approach to sexuality that he does to man-caused global warming and deflation of footballs.
It’s going to be a race between common sense being restored and permanent societal damage being done. We are only one Judges ruling away from 13 year old girls being forced to share locker rooms and showers with dudes.
Wife watches “I am Jazz” a reality show about a M-F transgender, her painfully liberal mom and befuddled dad.
She wants to go in for “bottom surgery”, but she was so hot to become a girl, that she started hormones too early. Now she doesn’t have enough penile tissue to make a decent vag. C’est la vie.
Yoko’s husband would have been so happy.
John Lennon was a LBGT knucklehead?
Bill Nye is a homo?
Fact of life: You have the gender you were born with. All this social stuff about sex change is bunk.

he def thinks that being a homo is natural. whether he practices idk.
They should be called what they are: Mengele Meds.
The “parents” who force their children to take Mengele Meds should be executed pirate-style: buried up to their necks at low tide at the water’s edge on a beach. Let them contemplate their status as extreme child abusers as the tide comes in.
“John Lennon was a LBGT knucklehead?”
Perhaps (there is much speculation), but he was a serious leftist freak globalist.
Included below is a link to an article in which the title says “I interviewed John Lennon, and he was no ultra-left radical” but then if one reads past the first few paragraphs:
Lennon much regretted his earlier association with the radical left, as the contents of the chapter entitled “We’d all love to see the plan” (quoting from the song Revolution) make clear.
Writing in 1978, he stated: “The biggest mistake Yoko and I made in that period was allowing ourselves to become influenced by the male-macho ‘serious revolutionaries’, and their insane ideas about killing people to save them from capitalism and/or communism (depending on your point of view). We should have stuck to our own way of working for peace: bed-ins, billboards, etc.”

I also go by his words:
Imagine
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
One liberal shibboleth that has always confounded me: gay or lesbian is a matter of genetics and determined at birth, but gender is learned.
