      But someone can be XY and develop as a female. So it is complicated. There are layers of biochemical interpretation between DNA and all aspects of phenotype, so there’s likely to be so much variation even within what we consider ‘normal’.

      Rare individuals with DSDs do not in any way disprove the sex binary. "Layers of biochemical interpretation ...." Your word salad answer is pseudoscience. Phenotypic differences in size, shape, etc. do not equate to a sex spectrum.

      It’s another example of using DSD as a fig leaf to justify post-modern Gender Identity politics.

      There's nothing "post-modern" about this. It's just science.

      Do you mean it's difficult to determine the sex of many skeletons or are you really suggesting that there is evidence many are of indeterminate biological sex? the latter answer wouldn't just be post-modern it would actually be untrue.

      Well, I only have the skeleton to look at, and no idea of the lived experience of sex and gender of those individuals. But sex is not strictly binary, after all.http://www.annefaustosterling.com/fields-of-inquiry/gender/ …

      Unintended result of your promotion of trans ideology (I speak as a gay man) is that discovery of a female skeleton which sheds new light on achievements of women in past is now being used to argue that skeleton is actually trans. Women written out of history. Again.

      I don't seek to promote any ideology, just to make sure science isn't misrepresented and misused to justify certain political ends. And biological essentialism is especially dangerous - having been used variously to excuse racist, homophobic and anti-trans ideology in the past.

      I am trying to engage with people interested in debate here. But less interested in responding to ad hominem responses, which seem to predominate. This is an issue where biology, human rights, politics collide - and we do need to debate it.

      You have accused gender critical feminist of being in "an unholy alliance with the far right". Do you see how that could be seen as an ad hominem attack, rather than engagement?

          Interesting that someone who believes ”transwomen are women” describes women who don’t think the same as “unholy”

          If the truth hurts, the good news in this case is that you can change it. No one's obligating bigots to continue to preach bigotry.
