The war against biology is far from over. A new peer-reviewed paper claims that teaching students "accurate" biology about sex is more inclusive and makes students enjoy class more. But what they call "accurate" biology is actually pseudoscience. Read my latest below.

The War on Biology Is Far From Over
Activists are flooding the zone with pseudoscience on sex because too much of their politics now depends on it.

On Day 1, Trump signed an executive order affirming the reality that sex is binary, immutable, and based on gametes—not “gender identity.” This was needed. However, protecting women’s rights requires not just acknowledging biological reality but also PREVENTING EFFORTS TO HIDE IT.

My recommendation for referencing sex recorded at birth is for trans women, not people with DSDs. For people with DSDs, like Khelif, objective tests like a barr body test should be performed as a first filter.
