uni of aberdeen sbs biologists (and bonus morrigan the geoscientist) say biologists for trans rights! despite what transphobes like to claim, the proven science DOES NOT AGREE with them. trans women are women, trans men are men, and biology is much more complex than year 9 science lessons

literally paragraph 2.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today.

There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath.

Hopeless 😞 We just keep falling back in the dark ages with the glee of a large part of society.
TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!

I wrote this 5 years ago describing Eric Kaufmann/Policy Exchange's agenda on academic freedom as "McCarthyite."

Today Kaufmann says that Trump's impact on academic freedom is "likely to be net positive".
