      @JolyonMaugham Goodness me, we seem to suffer from a similar affliction! Periodic Twitter pile-ons by people who have extremely dogmatic views sparked by - as far as I can tell - comments by Graham Linehan. I really hope they’re just an extremely vocal minority.

      Maya Forstater Retweeted helen staniland

      The majority of people in the UK (and probably around the world) believe that women are female, and that being female is mutually exclusive with being male. Its not an idea dreamt up by an Irish comedy writer.https://twitter.com/helenstaniland/status/1055128955894808577 …

      19% of people consider a person who was born male and has male genitalia but identifies as a woman to be a woman. 52% would consider this person to be a man. 20% don’t know, 7% consider this person to neither be a woman or a man and 3% prefer not to say. pic.twitter.com/WvPEBvpyyP

      That extremely simple question is a poor proxy for something that is clearly far more complex.

      Can you not see how 'unkind' it is to misapropriate dsd's (rendering them as some kind of 'other') in order to argue that unambiguously male people can be women, is insulting?

      Alice. Can you be clear then? You agree that there are two sexes. everyone is male or female (incl. people w DSDs), human beings can't change sex. Right?

          I agree with "be scientific, rational & kind". So we need some basic facts to get started. There are two sexes and human beings can't change sex, do you agree?

          I tried asking something like this and never got an answer. Just diverted into talking about gender and the role of culture in biology. I expected more from a scientist. Surely you give the facts and then you determine your position. You don’t choose to hide facts to suit it.
