Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Are there any medical doctors or scientists publicly commenting on the sex/gender debate?

Understandably there probably isn’t much to debate for them - sex is as per chromosomes that can’t be changed and gender is of less relevance to sex in any area of scientific interest.

But I’ve been thinking we could do with some of them speaking out to this effect? Can anyone point me in their direction?

Or, equally, are there any scientists/doctors being vocal on the TRA side or arguing that gender is more important than sex? I suppose there’s the Gender GP people...

I work with research and clinical gynaecologists and obstetricians, and they know all the score but up til now have been very circumspect because they didn’t want to be cancelled by their institutions.

This looks great but not much on their website and last Twitter post seems be 2019?

Prof Lord Robert Winston said lots of excellent stuff on sexual reproduction at the HoL debate recently. The one on terminology to be used in the maternity bill for parliamentarians

Colin Wright (biologist) has said he's been asked to do a paper along the lines of "humans are binary sexed animals". Grin

This wasn't previously felt necessary, so there aren't any foundational papers on the topic in the literature...
