The essay seems to have somehow penetrated the woke Twitter bubble today. I can't tell you how many hundreds of comments and quote-tweets I've gotten asserting the essay was "unscientific" without ANY effort whatsoever to clearly state why.

They frequently share the link below, suggesting it demonstrates that "thousands of scientists" disagree that sex is binary. But that statement refers to "gender" not "sex." Nobody has yet countered with an argument not already clearly addressed in the essay.

Read the thread; I took the bait and started listing the inaccuracies. Also the fact that you are endorsing this op ed speaks volumes to your organization’s mission to attack trans people under the guise of caring about children. https://twitter.com/jack_turban/status/1237148679787687937?s=21 …https://twitter.com/jack_turban/status/1237148679787687937 …

Substantiate that inflammatory accusation, Jack. Tell us exactly how we "attack trans people" under the "guise" of caring about children. You certainly do truck in ad hominem attacks, don't you?

Maybe someone could introduce him to the appeal to authority fallacy? https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-authority … The article was well researched and evidence based. Turban needs a better critique than “take my word for it because I say so”.
