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

It's driving me up the wall that legal definitions are increasingly based on (at best) primary school-level takes on complex concepts (like 'biological sex') which, I don't know, you should probably consult actual experts on.
Also: trans rights are human rights; no LGB without the T(QIA+), ever!

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-...
