The ongoing debate is tricky. Both sides agree that academics must have the freedom to question and challenge ideas and value systems. Those who penned the letter want to ensure they can challenge their institution’s stance—but they already have the protection of the institution.

Also, you want to silence transgender folk and somehow that's considered "feminist." Apparently, we have completely ignored 40 years of feminist theory especially coming from BIWOC.

The idea that radical feminists are interested in maintaining an essentialist gender regime is laughable.

I'm new to all this, not an academic, and very confused. How does "white supremacy" come into this subject? There's obviously no denying "white colonialist violence" in general, but are you saying white people *invented* "binary gender"?

It doesn't come into thie subject. It's one more of a long list of insults thrown at people for happen to disagree with transgender ideology, i.e that gender is innate, represents the "true self", is "assigned at birth" and that "true gender" can mismatch the assigned one. 1/

They are writing a new Bible for the religion of critical and queer theory and calling it academic research. Attempting to control people and culture by Fiat never ends well.

sex is not only genitalia - it affects the entire body and health. current research has found that, for example, females really do often have heart attacks; doctors often miss them as the male was understood as the default, w/ only reproductive difference

gender critical feminists understand that gender (personal likes, expression, in short personality) needn't be moored to sex. however, this does not change the fact that sex is a real human category, that sex impacts us via our embodied experience

it seems to be to quite condescending to claim humans anywhere had no idea about human reproduction until properly schooled by white colonialists

This kind of muddled thinking couched in verbosity gives academia a bad name.
