"Biological sex is important to consider in biology but that doesn't mean it's important elsewhere."
- throw_m239339 6y ago> "Biological sex is important to consider in biology but that doesn't mean it's important elsewhere." AKA "you might ignore biology when it comes to make political decisions so that me and other biologists are not labelled bigots"? The conclusion of that article is a cop-out.
- Spivak 6y agoI'm not sure how you took that from the paragraph. What they're saying is that biological sex is a real, valid concept to biologists. No biologist is going to be called a bigot for saying that biological sex is a thing. (However, in non-academic contexts this statement is used by bigots as a dog-whistle. It's pretty darn obvious when this happens though.)
