Now, armed with what they perceive to be an indisputable truth questioned only by sexist bigots, they respond with well-practiced outrage to alternative views. This has resulted in a chilling effect that causes scientists to self-censor, lest these activists accuse them of bigotry and petition their departments for their dismissal. I’ve been privately contacted by close, like-minded colleagues warning me that my public feuds with social justice activists on social media could be occupational suicide, and that I should disengage and delete my comments immediately.

Even more recently, the most prestigious scientific journal in the world, Nature, published an editorial claiming that classifying people’s sex “on the basis of anatomy or genetics should be abandoned” and “has no basis in science” and that “the research and medical community now sees sex as more complex than male and female.” In the Nature article, the motive is stated clearly enough: acknowledging the reality of biological sex will “undermine efforts to reduce discrimination against transgender people and those who do not fall into the binary categories of male or female.”
Biology is bigotry.
heterosexual sex is never more complex than male or female. perverted sex is different but not complex. genetics and biology cannot be ignored.
I look forward to the day when the trans moral panic is cited as being the quintessential exemplar of the term. The witch hunters were amateurs.
Any predictions on when these uber oh so smarty smart analysts have their King Canute moment?
A simple checklist should suffice:
Were you born with testicles and a penis?
Do you have xy chromosomes?
Do you produce small mobile gametes, aka. sperm?
If you answer yes to these questions then you’re *biologically* a male. That covers about 99% of males.
Were you born with womb, mammary glands and a vagina?
Do you have xx chromosomes?
Do you produce large gametes, aka. eggs?
If you answer yes to these questions then you’re *biologically* a female. That covers about 99% of females.
Sex biology is not terribly complicated. Those making it complicated are trying to delude either themselves or others.
Gender is more debateable.
One can go all I, Napoleon but one is still the sex one is born with. Renovating the body doesn’t change the genome.
I’m reminded of the story told of Galileo Galilei’s forced denial that it is the earth that moves around the sun and not the other way around. According to popular accounts, after he officially recanted, he apparently said quietly: “Eppur si muove” (And yet it moves).
But, but, but … it’s a woman’s “choice” to allow her femaleness create a baby or destroy it. Right? The woman has a “right” to override her biology. The woman is her own God. If a woman “chooses” … she can erase her ova, and sequester her mammary glands. So why can’t a woman “choose” to become a man? It’s the logical next-step in human evolution (oops … can’t say evolution).
This is all about “choice”. Who would be against “choice”? Only the mean, old, religious, prudes are against “choice”. Our Capitalist, consumerist, instant gratification culture WORSHIPS “choice”. WE get to choose! It’s OUR choice! How dare some “sky daddy” patriarchal construct of a superstitious religion tell me what to do? There’s NO way some dead old white, rich, privileged, British, patriarch can tell me what biological organism I’ve “evolved” into. Anymore than some dead, old, white, patriarchal “sky daddy” can. Because I “choose” ME! I am my own God! I “choose” to be God!
“The woman is her own God”
…and there it is in a nutshell. The (perverted) secular humanist left has replaced God with themselves. We’re experiencing the disastrous results of that hubris.
There you go. The ideology of the snake in the garden of Eden—which Eve went for without hesitation.
At what point will all doubt be removed that woman is the root of all evil?
ass Canadian, you and Edward make same mistake as transgenderers do, you mistaken mental illness as reality. There is no god, or damn talking snake, and there are NO transgenders, just mental illness, in both cases

“…Gender is more debateable.”
Yes, because gender is matter of grammar. Sex is biology. “Transgender” is a delusion, “transexual” is self-mutilation. Everyone is free to imagine themselves and deny reality, but the proof of a personality defect or mental disease is the need to have everyone else pretend they agree with you.
The…but intersex…is a weird argument. Some people are born with more or less than two legs of lose one due death or disease but that doesn’t mean humans are not bipedal.
That Nature has finally bought into the argument doesn’t entirely surprise me. I’m a long-time member of the AAAS and its main publication, Science, has gone whole-hog for algoreism and green theology.
I’m reminded of Romans 1:22: “Claiming to be wise, they became fools”.
Romans 1:22 sums up our society in a nutshell.
Ken….Romans 1:21 to 25 makes the nutshell more comprehensively complete.
The theory of evolution was useful to our masters to the extent it allowed them to claim.that the God of Israel did not exist and that everything was permitted, including sexual depravity limited only by their twisted imagination, which biblical law insisted was worthy of death.
God is the Way and the Truth. The perverts never had time for the truth.
So “Nature” has effectively declared itself “anti-Nature”?
Hubris, much?
In the Nature article, the motive is stated clearly enough: acknowledging the reality of biological sex will “undermine efforts to reduce discrimination against transgender people and those who do not fall into the binary categories of male or female.”
That is the Prime objective…. So how does that agenda achieve it’s Goal… Convince enough morons that Procreation ( which transgender people lack) is the basis of constructive bigotry //// The Social Justice Warriors believe that self mutilation will solve TWO problems//// Discrimination by differences & reduce the Population of biological Binary constructs….LINE up for your Operation
The Self Mutilation solution is the insane (mental disease) that fits “Cutting off ones ear” to benefit the deaf, or destroying all ART to benefit those without Talent…Mutilating beautiful People to benefit the ugly…
A Sick group of Society may cloak motives into scientific nonsense.. but it is just babble…
JMHO
Although they fell for the global warming fraud, I still had some lingering respect for Nature. My father even has a publication in Nature.
But upon reading this, I am done with them.
Those scientists who still value true science better get their asses in gear and do something. The once fine profession has been taken over by charlatans and hucksters and left-wing politically correct fanatics, and if it continues you can forget the public putting up any taxpayer dollars to support it.
What an absolute disaster. In a way it is like we are entering a new dark ages.
