SNP in secret attempt to challenge Supreme Court ruling on sex

Not a Scientist, but Ive heard this is sometimes an issue with sciences in general. As more and more knowledge accrues, people necessarily become ever more specialised, and can sometimes lack broad overviews or awareness of overarching principles.

I mean, talking online to an apparent expert talking about little girls sprouting penises at puberty, and the idyll of that society whereas the West, especially TERF Island, would only find rancour and conflict.
To add the cherry on the cake, his wife and teenage daughter agree with his take.
I should have asked if they have Zoology degrees as well, lol.

Not just degrees. This is the SQA Higher syllabus:

DNA and the genome
The key areas covered are:
 structure of DNA
 replication of DNA
 gene expression
 cellular differentiation
 the structure of the genome
 mutations
 evolution
 genomic sequencing
Metabolism and survival
The key areas covered are:
 metabolic pathways
 cellular respiration
 metabolic rate
 metabolism in conformers and regulators
 metabolism and adverse conditions
 environmental control of metabolism
 genetic control of metabolism
Sustainability and interdependence
The key areas covered are:
 food supply, plant growth and productivity
 plant and animal breeding
 crop protection
 animal welfare
 symbiosis
 social behaviour
 components of biodiversity
 threats to biodiversity

Actually, I'm getting flashbacks to my either my first or second year of teaching.

One of our 3rd Yr boys had bet the rest of the year group that he'd wear a skirt to school. (He'd borrowed a gym skirt from one of the girls.) I believe he made a great deal of money out of the caper. (And yes, I'm aware of the more recent case where a load of boys wore skirts as a protest against not being allowed shorts. This was strictly for monetary gain.)

I've no doubt that all concerned would be in huge trouble now, but this was a Fife high school at the time of the miners' strike.

The depute dealt with it by leaving the boy to sit outside the heidie's office all morning. (The heidie was out at a meeting.)

The boy's Guidance Teacher was a mature entrant to teaching. (This was a 'tough school' which made a point of hiring mature male teachers when possible.)

Some of the staff were former mineworkers. The GT had formerly been employed at Rosyth Dockyard.

As I walked past the hapless seated boy, I heard the GT remarking to another mature entrant "Well, what d'ye think of this, Mr X? We're going tae have tae get the Educational Psychologist tae this lad. He doesn't know whether he pees standing up or sitting down!"

ETA The GT is no longer in the land of the living and I'm now retired.

My late husband did a Scottish Higher in Zoology* prior to going to uni. According to him, it was one of the easiest Highers you could do then - DH had left school at 15 and was working full-time whilst studying for entry to Aberdeen Uni.

I can just hear him saying "Does the loon no ken the difference atween a tup and a yowe?"

*I don't think it's currently available. Maybe they should bring it back.

Bloody hell.

I recall many years ago my late mum talking about that a documentary on Guevedoces and my mum - with only her Scottish Leavers' Certificate awarded at the age of 14 - was able to understand the situation.

Agreed. It is utterly repellent.

No idea how recent, but yes, Zoology.

Wrong film, Medusa had a head full of snakes and turned anyone looking at her into stone. It was Hercules that battled the Hydra. That's why defeating this post modernism monster will be a herculean task.

@1984Now TB strictly F, in this instance you weren't arguing with a scientist - you were arguing with an undergraduate & an alarming number of those are thick as mince.

If the science can be captured, what hope politicians could ever be relied on?

The more you try to have a logical conversation about the harms of their religion, the more they double down 1984 style to insane degrees.

I'm currently on/off arguing with a Zoology major on his claim biological sex is a spectrum, more and more info coming to light that binary sex is out of date science.
He's mentioned Guevedoces in the Dominican Republic, where as he says it, so many girls develop penises at puberty, and how their society has lovingly integrated these "trans" into their society, the women there absolutely happy, and why can't we do this in the West.
Of course I've dissented, and I'm told I'm sadly ill informed, and a purveyor of poisonous culture wars, attacking a minority.
Now I've mentioned DSDs, Imane Khelif and Caster Semanya, and I won't hear from this chump again.
Here we have an absolutely captured scientist.
If the science can be captured, what hope politicians could ever be relied on?

Yes this. They don’t give a shit do they. No regard to the convention rights of women

I will be returning any leaflets etc to sender with a 'Hahahahah! No.' printed over the party's name.

My MSP is Jenny Gilruth. Definitely captured.

The outcome of our council by-election is going to be interesting. I've been getting more communications from the SNP than anyone else. (In 2nd place is Reform.)

I've not had any canvassers at my door, unfortunately.

What do the SNP female MSPs think about this? Are they so captured? Are they willing converts? Or, are many/most/all so compromised they have nothing to say.
We're entering without doubt the most dangerous time ever since I was born at the tail end of the Boomer generation, and the vast majority of our politicians are not fit for purpose.
To do any reasonable task, I'd take ANY 12 year old school kid over an SNP or Scottish Green MSP.

I have no idea. It baffles me. Even aside from this issue, they're shite.

I was just about to post similar. There is nothing about the impact on women at all - not to head off questions, not even a small nod in the direction of women's concerns to try and show balance, even if tokenistic. It's completely ignored.

They don't even bother to pretend they give a shit about 51% of the population. They're so cock-sure of being voted in again.

Multiple hydra-headed Medusa. I've seen Jason And The Argonauts.

It may not have many divisions, but it is legion.
