For sure... But what I'm specifically raising is this bizarre science-denying ideological insistence that biological sex is irrelevant, that gender is solely in one's head, and that those who even remotely question any aspect of this is some sort of trans hating fascist...

That's what we wrote about. The science-denial on both sides of the debate. Those who claim reproductive systems are not indications of biological sex and those who claim they are the only indication of biological sex and ignore brains and hormones.

Who's claiming "reproductive systems" are the only indiction of sex? Women are discriminated against because they are women, whether or not they have working reproductive systems. Denying that - the core of contemporary trans activism - seems very strange to me.

Trans exclusionary feminists who deny that gender differences exist in the brain and claim gender to be entirely a cultural construct. Conservatives who claim that reproductive systems alone are what decide gender and ignore massive evidence of brain differences in trans people.

So let's discuss the real issues... The trans lobby & their legion of unquestioning supporters labelling everyone who asks questions a "TERF" to shut down debate are a disaster. BTW, please show me the "massive evidence of brain differences in trans people", especially in kids.

I disagree that they are the one real issue. I have already said that trans activist loons exist and are loons. They are just one of a number of gender ideologue loons. The essay explains my position on this much better than I can on Twitter & includes the neuroscience.

I wrote it so I didn't have to keep having the same conversation over and over again on Twitter. Pls read if you want to know my stance on this.

Helen, I am not questioning your stance, this is not an attack on you - I am questioning the stance of trans activists & the governments who support them unquestioningly.

Well, I've already said that I agree with you on the problem of extreme trans activists so I don't know what more you want me to say.

I'm raising this as a discussion: you don't have to answer every point - i"m interested what other people think. It's not true that that women don't face discrimination on the basis of biology in the West. They still do. Again, I think the issue is not just fringe loons.

I have addressed my stance on this here in great detail. It will be much easier to read it than ask me lots of questions I'd have to answer in 280 characters.https://areomagazine.com/2017/09/27/an-argument-for-a-liberal-and-rational-approach-to-transgender-rights-and-inclusion/ …

Could you point us in the direction of the evidence supporting the claim that 'the science of gender differences in the brain is well-established'? I had the impression it had almost all been thoroughly debunked, but am keen to read more on the subject.
