Is this an art form? Would it work better if we saw Colin Wright's public writing as a form of art? It is full of fictions, that is certain. Needs work on style.
Sex-based rights aren't a thing (see linked thread).

And about biological sex: that we aren't all riding the biological sex horse so incessantly and unnecessarily as you, Colin, doesn't mean we're jettisoning the concept entirely. Biologists are welcome to have it and take it out for a trot.

It is a fun sentence to analyze:
"*We're* the ones 'using trans people as a wedge issue in a culture war,' not those bending so far over backwards to not offend anyone that they'll willingly jettison the concept of biological sex and, as a consequence, all sex-based rights."
"*We're* the ones 'using trans people as a wedge issue in a culture war,' not those bending so far over backwards to not offend anyone that they'll willingly jettison the concept of biological sex and, as a consequence, all sex-based rights."
It claims that there are: "those bending so far over backwards to not offend anyone."
Those are the baddies in Colin's mind. Whoever they are. With their amazing back bends.

What is so bad about their back bends? According to Colin, that it means they will "willingly jettison the concept of biological sex."
Does this make sense to you? If true, would this be damning evidence, would this demand severe judgement?
Nah.
But wait!

What is baddie bad about the alleged jettisoning of the concept of biological sex is that, laments Colin, it would jettison sex-based rights.
Which don't exist.
So, there's nothing here. But Colin is mighty angry.
What is this man always so upset about? I really wonder.

I can tell you that despite his harping on about the objective purity of biological sex, and despite his constant issuing of cute pronouncements like the one below, Colin's concern is not really with how to uncover universality of scientific knowledge.

For, if that were in fact his interest and concern, he'd talk much more about his own scientific research. He'd more clearly address the kind of fraud that exists in his discipline, fraud that sullies scientific knowledge, and of which he has first-hand experience.
If he was truly so concerned about securing universal pieces of scientific knowledge, particularly as regards his favourite topic "biological sex," he'd have studied it. His dissertation, for instance, has nothing to say about it.
(@nevaudit did a thread on references to sex in Colin's dissertation, but I can't link to it as Twitter has permanently banned his account and deleted all his work.)
