Why should we all conform to a the "Gender Spectrum" ideology when less than 2% of the U.S are Trans/Non-binary?

You know what they say about the most rabid homophobes, don't you? That they're hiding something? What are you hiding?

My disdain for someone who labels themselves a Scientist that attempts to poorly mix objective Science with a political left-leaning agenda

Also. Your insecurities about your own masculinity are shining like a beacon here on Twitter tonight...strange way to deal with it honestly.

I'm impressed with how passive aggressive and rude your comment is, especially when you know very little about me

When you refuse to conform to something that science says doesn't exist and the people in the comments say it has to do with masculinity...

Hello. As you clearly don't understand 'Science' I'm going to help you-go to http://www.pubmed.com  (it's a medical science search engine)

Howdy. There are only 2 genders: Male or Female. Gender may be what you feel like you are but it is not claim something non-existent.

Absolutist statement inaccurate, as gender is a social construct. As for biological sex, it is rather complex and eludes simple categories.

No, this is emphatically false

If you choose to think so. However my statement is based on decades of being a practicing scientist. Your seems to be more of a wish.

I have also spent decades in science and medicine. You seem to be conflating sociological assertions with empirical data.

If you had really "spent decades in science and medicine," you'd know the difference between gender and biological sex.

Ah yes the intersectional definition of gender which conflates gender identity and sexuality How very scientific

Given that it conforms with existing medical and scientific literature, yes. Burden on you to prove otherwise. What database do you use?

Thanks for responding and highlighting some of Twitter's awesome science folk! #BillMeetScienceTwitter

I agree! I hope he continues to do so. This was meant to bring scientists together, not bully Bill as some articles have suggested.
