I’m not really here to change your mind, but I saw the person you were interacting with struggling a bit with you. Seeing that, I wouldn’t really engage beyond what I will just say now. These are active areas of research that are being performed by biologists and in dialogue with biologists.

What would help change my mind is for someone to give a coherent meaning of the central terms like sex and female that is consistent with their claims.

I suspect they do not as it is not possible. Gender ideology is a total muddle.

Biologists know what a sex is and know what “female” means.

Queer Theory in Gender Studies explicitly sets out to “queer” these concepts so that students no longer understand them. False ideas can then be planted in their heads.

In what way was I struggling with this person’s incredibly? And you seemed to believe I was making the exact argument I was not. I only linked that paper because this person disbelieved my point that some published papers who adopted the “gametes only” claim said sex is only a transient life stage?
