Biological Science Trumps Transgender 'Truth'

"In recent years I have received concerning reports from countless women and girls and their allies in which they detail how they have been vilified, ostracized, threatened and attacked for arguing that sex and sex-related data matter in the analysis of discrimination and inequality."

"They have lost their jobs, positions and support for defending language for or about women. Scientists and biologists have been attacked for asserting what science tells us that sex is as binary as it gets and that it is real."

"Medical doctors politicians, whistleblowers and women, human rights defenders have received death threats for pointing out the harms of socially and medically transitioning vulnerable children, including girls who have a right to the highest standards of physical and mental health and whose care must always be guided by their best interest and the best available evidence."

The socially cataclysmic emergence of 'transgender rights' has reached astonishing proportions of acceptance from society at every level, from political support, to support from within the medical community, the sports community, social services community, academic community to the point where to disagree places anyone, whether celebrity, figure of social influence, or ordinary individual who expresses incredulity at the very assertion that sex is fluid, readily disposable, interchangeable or immaterial becomes a social outcast.

 

Even among members of the LGBTQ-2 community, lesbians, gays and bisexuals have taken to giving transgenderism a  wide berth of avoidance. The transgender community is no friendly support to those of the gay, lesbian and bisexual community on the other hand, so the distance is mutual. Gays know they are male; their sexual attraction is to other males; while lesbians make no pretense of not being female, and for the same reason.

The bullying of those insisting that sex identified at birth does a disservice to their 'science' of biological dissonance with the binary reality of male and female, cows those who disagree. No one likes to be labelled a Nazi, an enemy of the militant transgender community now in favour in academia, medicine, politics and social media. Militant transgender groups' spite at having their verities questioned has become legendary in its reach. To the point where even a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada is uncertain of describing what it is to be female.

 

It is not unheard of to hear or read of individuals being described as 'people with a womb'. Of men posing as women to declare that they menstruate and are capable of bearing children. Women in the nursing profession expressing their opinions on the verity of two sexes risk having their careers thrown off the rails. This is an era where trained pediatricians lend themselves to the fiction of child decision-making over rejecting their acknowledged gender to prefer another leading to hormonal drug therapy and often irreversible surgeries.

"Let me be frank. I never imagined the day would come where my mandate would deem it necessary to prepare a report affirming that the words women and girls refer to distinct biological and legal categories."

"The consequences of this blatant disregard of the material reality of sex have been devastating. The erosion of women and sex specific language, the conflation of sex, gender and gender identity have produced flawed data, overall weakened protection for motherhood women and girls, including lesbians, as well as women who do not identify as women, and girls who may be experiencing gender dysphoria."

"Recently, there has been a concerted international push to delink the definition of men and women from their biological sex and erase the legal category of 'women'."

"Such efforts have undermined the practical achievement of equality between men and women. Women are therefore being denied their rightful recognition as a distinct category in law and society."

"It is a form of 'coercive inclusion' that relies on the expectation that women will be kind enough to sacrifice their own recognition and protection for the sake of others."

In school libraries children are exposed to books promoting transgenderism by leading children to wonder whether they really are the sex they've been known as since birth. The transference by implication to vulnerable children that they have the right to shed their sex in favour of another that holds appeal to them is encouraged by those within the school community who have adopted the mantra of the transgender community who assert that anyone can decide for themselves their sex preferences. Drag shows, promoted as suitable entertainment for children bolster the idea that changing sex is fun, so why not try it?

Women and girls who have worked for years to perfect their athletic prowess skills in various fields of sport accomplishments now are forced to compete in their chosen field against men purporting to be women. Sports associations have generally consigned women to accepting the presence of physically dominant males insisting they're now female, competing against women and winning tournaments because their male size, musculature, strength and capacity overwhelms those of women. 

 

Women's and girls' privacy in intimate settings such as bathrooms change rooms and other similar areas have been invaded by men calling themselves women. Men attesting to be female, where their word is often sufficient without any type of medical, surgical-hormonal-intervention to support their claims, are now placed in women's penal institutions where shared locker rooms, showers, and cells can expose female inmates to the predatory presence of males, some of whom have been incarcerated for crimes of violence against women, including rape.
