Scientific American once again beclowns itself by publishing pseudoscientific nonsense denying sex differences in sports, and appropriates intersex people to argue that non-intersex male athletes should be allowed to compete as females.
scientificamerican.com/article/trans-…
The article claims that "there is no scientific case for excluding them." I would just like to point you to a 2021 review paper in Sports Medicine that makes the scientific case in intimate detail. Surely the authors must know of its existence.

TL;DR ⬇️ Image
As I've said before, I view defending not just sex diffs but the reality of biological sex itself as reality's last stand. If/when the levee completely breaks on this issue, then we've lost our collective tether to reality and all the dominoes fall.

This is the hill to die on.
If you are interested in articles and commentary debunking the pseudoscience of sex denialism, consider adding your email to my newsletter "Reality's Last Stand" or becoming a subscriber for exclusive content.

1/ 🚨 ALERT: Plaintiffs Gabriella & William Clark reply to Democracy Prep Public School (DPAC) on abusive Critical Race Theory program.

"A school cannot, under the guise of 'curriculum,' invade its students’ consciences and require them to affirm beliefs they find repugnant."
2/ DPAC denies that W. Clark was compelled to say anything or profess any particular belief.

Plaintiffs reply that the required, graded assignments were a form of compelled speech.

"Speech is compelled if a speaker will 'suffer a penalty' for declining to speak."
3/ DPAC insisted speech was not compelled because W. Clark was not required to "publicly" affirm his identities.

Plaintiffs: Not true, because W. Clark was required to enter the statements on Google documents accessible by his teacher, principal, and other employees.

1/ I think a lot of this could simply be due to a re-definition of what "gender" means to some Millennials and GenZ. If your sexuality is now defined according to what "gender identity" (as opposed to sex) you're attracted to, then this would augment the number of LGB people.
2/ And since "gender identity" is being largely defined according to identification with sex-based stereotypes, and being trans is to simply not "identify" with the stereotypes associated with your birth sex, then this will drive up the number of people identifying as trans.
3/ I'm a straight male, but I've been told by gender activists that I'm bisexual because I said I'd find Scarlett Johansson attractive no matter how she happened to simply identify. And because I don't identify entirely with all masculine stereotypes, I am considered non-binary.

Jodi Shaw's (@Smith_Surge) bravery in speaking out and against Critical Race Theory is inspirational. She is an incredibly thoughtful and good person.

She recently resigned from her position, and could use your support for both legal and living expenses. gofundme.com/f/help-jodi-st…
Amazing! Keep it up!

1/ Sometimes the question shouldn't be "how do we eliminate X?" (where X is some societal ill), but rather "how much X are we willing to tolerate in a free society?"

For some bad things, we need to consider the costs associated with reducing them to zero.
2/ Take murder for instance. Murder is bad. We should all *want* murder rates to be zero. But what would that require? In short, the complete elimination of individual freedoms.

Most of us would (rightfully, IMO) likely deem this too costly.
3/ What this means is that we need to view low background rates of some bad things as not *necessarily* evidence that a system is faulty and needs to be revamped.

Now it's important not to go overboard and assume that current rates of bad things is the best we can do.

1/ Gender ideology is rooted in regressive sex-based stereotypes. According to gender ideology, to be a boy/man or girl/woman means you embrace gender expectations associated with your sex.

Here is how UC San Francisco defines "nonbinary."
lgbt.ucsf.edu/glossary-terms
2/ And "nonbinary" is a subset of trans. So if you don't fully embrace the rigid expectations associated with your sex, you have dysphoria and are transgender.

This describes nearly everyone, and bears no resemblance to actual medical definitions of dysphoria and transgenderism.
3/ Kids are indoctrinated into this new broadened definition of dysphoria. They show up to gender clinics claiming to be trans because they don't embrace the stereotypical roles associated with their sex.

The "affirmation" model ensures this self-diagnosis cannot be questioned.

1/ We commonly see how queer theory attempts to blur—or outright obliterate—the lines between biological categories like male and female, but it's important to realize queer theory also attempts to "queer" boundaries between core concepts like objectivity and subjectivity.
2/ The moment they accomplish that to a sufficient degree, all their chess pieces turn into queens while we hopelessly try to combat them playing by the old rules.

That's why it's so important to take a firm stand against this nonsense. There's a lot on the line.
3/ Some are asking "all right, what is the line between subjectivity and objectivity?"

This is the "nugget of truth" issue. Queer theorists take categories that may have somewhat blurry edges and insist that this means that ANY distinction is arbitrary and pure preference.
