The key recurring confusion with these types of articles is they say "biological sex refers to binary reproductive strategies in anisogamous species" but a *person* is not *a reproductive strategy* whereas the social debates concern "how should we characterize persons" - so there is a missing step in the argument; when attempts are made to fill it in, it's usually stipulative ("persons should be classified as male or female according to what evolutionary reproductive strategy template their unmodified body plan most closely approximates in terms of capacity to produce sperm or eggs at some point in their lifecourse") but that is a different question and the argument for it is not straightforward. Anyway, here's my take: "On Whether Sex is Binary" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41484543/


1/ A new article in @Ecology_Letters by a group of evolutionary biologists—pioneers and leading experts on the evolution of sex. (The article is open access, short, and clear.) "Biological sex is best defined as a binary classification of male and female reproductive strategies rooted in anisogamy, characterised by the production of two discrete gamete types of different sizes." "We call for a more differentiated discourse on sex, one that separates the scientific conception of biological sex from societal discussions regarding the diversity of gender expressions and identities in humans." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

Stop saying "same sex attraction'". No one is attracted to a sex. They are attracted to people, who may be of a particular sex..Not genitals and chromosomes.











feministly: women are baby factories



Ppl who think girls with bottom surgery needing to dilate because it’s an open wound are stupid. In reality them needing to dilate is closer to how you need to keep wearing earrings or the healed piercing hole will close up.
