Debunking the “gender critical” myth

“Sex is binary and immutable” is the great myth that underpins “gender critical” ideology. At first glance, it might appear to be plausible, but anything beyond a cursory inspection shows it to be shallow and incorrect. Biology is a complex system, and...

By that reckoning, I must be more cocoa than human.

So if I take fish oils everyday will that make me more fish?

So all thirteen comments agreed with the article? I know the LibDems are in pretty deep but I suspect there may be some censorship there.

It seems other comments have been submitted but not approved.

It's very badly written, the grammar is all over the place and the meaning is unclear in parts. Plus, of course, bits if it are just plain wrong.

Well, apart from quoting from the original judgement and saying it was from the appeal...

It's so utterly mad. Person takes large dose of hormones of the opposite sex, therefore person IS the opposite sex. Magical thinking. Women taking testosterone for low libido aren't men but women taking testosterone for gender dysphoria are men. More magical thinking. Intersex is real! Nonbinary is real!

If they keep saying it louder and louder, I guess they think the Lib Dem GC women will shut up? Good luck with that.

”My body is more female than male?”

By what measure?

Comment from legal feminist Audrey Ludwig:

'This article seriously misrepresents the appeal judgment of Forstater. Whilst the words quoted "even though there is significant scientific evidence that it is wrong" is in the judgment, it is quote of the first instance judge, whose determinations were overturned on appeal'
'Similarly the quote "profoundly offensive and distressing " omits the end of the sentence (in para 116) " to many others but they are beliefs that are and must be tolerated in a pluralist society."'
