Another uncritical gender identity article in the journal Science

"when puberty brought feelings of dismay and disgust. Every day meant performing femininity while feeling increasingly isolated from it"

OK I get this person may have had issues with puberty, it's not exactly a barrel of laughs what with the periods and the boobs and the raging hormones, but I have to ask

How does one perform femininity?

I don't remember my mother explaining this bit in the now you are becoming a woman talk.

How long before Einstein is transed

No risk of that. He's a man.

freshman physics and its inflexible rules

OMG 🙄🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
How dare the LAWS OF PHYSICS be so triggering. Does this person try to get to work by sitting on a tea tray and deciding it's a bus, or get offended when they drop their drink and it spills?

I do agree that questioning everything is a good idea, in fact it's kind of the point of being a scientist - and amazingly you can even do it without the revelation of being "non-binary". Funny then that questioning the sanctity of gender identity doesn't seem to have occurred to them, or noticing that they're no more non-binary, questioning or capable of open-ended thought than all those boring normies.

It's amazing Bohr and Planck managed to discover quantum physics at all, what with being so cisheteronormative.

Articles in magazines like this have done a ton of harm, they make regular people feel like this is scientifically legitimate.

"Now, I realize the power of my identity. Being nonbinary means challenging the status quo every day. It means everything can and must be questioned. It means exploring things others take to be fundamental in new ways from new angles. In my everyday life, my gender identity compels me to find unconventional solutions to difficult problems."

How long before Einstein is transed 🙄

If as a non binary person, they are challenging the gender stereotypes they grew up with, that's great. Gender stereotypes should be challenged. The only problem is the assumption that everyone else accepts the gender stereotypes and that you have to be non binary to fight them.

This article is just one person's story and doesn't seem anti-science in the way some other TRAs are.

Wowsers... "In high school, I particularly hated freshman physics and its inflexible rules, which seemed to mirror the society I lived in."

Wow. All this deserves is "Ya cannot fight the laws of physics, captain" from Scotty in Star Trek. And it's an interesting statement on paths to reality denial.

They need a biology degree (not that biologists have been much better in the current political climate, but many of them at least feel guilty about sex denialism deep down).
