Which paper are you referring to?

Because your sex is a result of natural development, and modification after the fact is merely cosmetic. You cannot change your sex.
Sex is not defined by an aggregate of sex characteristics. My essay below should be clarifying for you.

The US Very Online Left are a curious sociological phenomenon. The Colin Wright cartoon RTd by musk is an oversimplification. But is onto something discourse wise. There's a better analysis by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social in the FT which I think could be applied to 'median voter': on.ft.com/3YjroNJ

I'm not MAGA. I am not a fan of Trump at all.

My recommendation for referencing sex recorded at birth is for trans women, not people with DSDs. For people with DSDs, like Khelif, objective tests like a barr body test should be performed as a first filter.

In short, scientific language evolves to meet the demands of describing the unknown; postmodern jargon exists to mystify the obvious.
comment in response to
post
Instead of distilling complexity into clarity, their jargon makes the mundane sound profound. This undermines meaningful communication and intellectual engagement, turning scholarship into a performative exercise rather than a pursuit of understanding.
comment in response to

By contrast, the jargon of postmodern scholars is often unnecessary. Their ideas could frequently be conveyed more clearly using simpler, more accessible language. But this would expose the lack of depth behind many of their claims.

Scientists create new terms out of necessity—to describe phenomena that are genuinely novel or to clarify concepts that cannot be expressed with existing words. Scientific jargon is a tool for achieving precision and clarity, not obfuscation.
comment in response to
post
Critics frequently levy similar accusations against scientists, claiming that they too hide behind inaccessible jargon. But this criticism misunderstands the purpose and nature of scientific language.

But, in reality, this specialized language primarily serves to signal allegiance to a specific ideological framework rather than to illuminate truths about the world.
