Harvard lecturer Carole Hooven took heat from her own colleague after an appearance on Fox News this week in which she asserted that biological sex is real and defended the continued use of terms like ‘pregnant women’ and “male and female.”
“The ideology seems to be that biology really isn’t as important as how somebody feels about themselves, or feels their sex to be,” Hooven told “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “The facts are that there are in fact two sexes — there are male and female — and those sexes are designated by the kind of gametes we produce.”
Hooven, the author of a book about testosterone, teaches Human Evolutionary Biology at the school and appeared in a segment dedicated to discussing how medical schools had gone woke.
The whole thing didn’t sit well with Laura Simone Lewis, the Director of the Diversity and Inclusion Task Force at Harvard’s Department of Human Evolutionary Biology.
Lewis, who identifies on Twitter as a “Blewish feminist mermaid,” called Hooven’s defense of science “dangerous.”
“I am appalled and frustrated by the transphobic and harmful remarks made by a member of my dept in this interview with Fox and Friends,” she wrote.

Believe the science, except here.
Science suddenly doesn’t matter. Shove that science right at these idiots at every turn.
XX, XY, beeyotches.
Should be:
"Colleague embarrasses themself in failure to understand basic biology."
I’m just waiting for the day where someone demands I call someone “They or Them” or “Zhe”...”How about F you? Does that work?”
Called to schedule a med test yesterday. During registration, the technician asked “what sex do you identify as”. I said the one that points. She laughed.
Seriously, I note our colleges graduate far less STEM grads than say China. Of course, we lead the world in graduating what I call the parasite degrees i.e.gender studies and equity/inclusion styled degrees. Sad. Worse, this is not going to end well.

And all fetus’ start out as female.
Having a blow hole but no fins doesn't make her a mermaid..........
It’s clear Laura Simone Lewis is a total idiot
At some point all the comedy and satire of the past became the present’s “Hold my beer!”
The way things are going the cartoon Gravity Falls is may have a point, with the world not ending with a bang but with a “coo-coo”.
From the article:
““The ideology seems to be that biology really isn’t as important as how somebody feels about themselves, or feels their sex to be,””
No other animal in the animal kingdom worries about feeeelings. They just do what comes naturally to them. Show me the rooster who can lay eggs and then we’ll talk. As Abraham Lincoln said, “How many legs does a dog have if we call the tail a leg? 4. Calling a tail a leg does not make it so.”
And “Blewish feminist mermaid”? WTH is that? On second thought, no pictures please.
If trans men can get pregnant why not trans women? Almost as if they’re not really women or something.
The idiot says, in part: “...a member of my own department...”, like she owns the department. And, who knows, maybe she does!
In a world of universal deceipt, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
For a second, I thought it was “blowfish feminist mermaid.”
She is completely and utterly insane. Everyone who has the ability to get pregnant? What planet is she on? “Outside the gender binary”? The arrogance of these morons is astounding. They think they are Gods who can create new genders, no they cannot.
