zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 16 hours agosorry but you are disagreeing with the scientific and academic consensus.
Hmmm, an interesting assertion, one that would be all the more interesting were it not for the open letter sent to the president, signed by ~3500 scientists, saying sex isn’t binary. Weird.
You wanna know what else is weird? This whole “gametes determine sex” thing is something Donald Trump says, and used as the “scientific basis” for one of his incredibly transphobic executive orders. An order that basically makes it illegal to be trans. The order that that letter I linked, the one signed by 3500 scientists, was a direct response to.
You’re refusing to acknowledge the scientific consensus, and that’s really disappointing.
No, what’s disappointing is that you’ve spent the better part of your day parroting and defending right-wing pseudoscience, then have the gall to tell others that they’re refusing to acknowledge scientific consensus.
The idea you’re so vehemently “just being the messenger” for originated over a hundred years ago dude. The science has changed since then. We’ve learned more. It’s time for you to catch up.

I’m… not sure you actually read your link. It quotes the open letter, and then points out that it’s scientifically inaccurate, and that the people that sent it should know better. It also contains this quote, which is my whole damn point. Real biologists saying this shit:
Why is Lemmy so focused on being wrong here?

by quoting noted transphobe, Richard Dawkins lmao.
Why are you so focused on spreading transphobic rhetoric?
powerstruggle@sh.itjust.works 15 hours ago
Why do you think he’s a transphobe? Because he’s a biologist saying that sex is real?
He’s also simply one of the vast majority saying this. If you think acknowledging scientific truth is transphobic, that’s entirely on you. Why do you think those are at odds?

I think Richard Dawkins is a transphobe because he frequently makes public anti-trans statements and conflates gender and sex in a way that is weaponized against trans people.
Jesus dude this is just boring now. Claiming your outdated view is “scientific truth” hasn’t worked all day, maybe find a new slant.
