    If acknowledging XX/XY genetic distinction is offensive then holy crap are we science writers screwed.https://twitter.com/a_man_in_black/status/697076437887557633 …

    @jessesingal @srhbutts that "narrow, provocative point" comes with a lot of baggage attached

        @jessesingal if we science writers can't figure out why context matters, then yes we are!

        @jessesingal there's a significant number of activists who feel very strongly that the only sexual distinction is genetic

        @jessesingal I agree,but I think people might bristle at it because it is often used as an ungainly rhetorical device for mean ends

        @jessesingal I daresay at least some science writers have managed to acknowledge that distinction is a bit reductive http://www.nature.com/news/sex-redefined-1.16943 …

        @itsSupercar @a_man_in_black potentially dumb question: is genetic sex inherently bad as concept, or is it the conflating btw sex and gendr?

        @itsSupercar @a_man_in_black yeah, like almost everything in life sciences, sex categories are abstractions that beak down around the edges.

        @itsSupercar @a_man_in_black @jessesingal Anything is too complex for activism. The pb is activism, oversimplifies all and radicalizes.

        @Roran_Stehl @itsSupercar @jessesingal this is a profoundly stupid statement but yes it is the bias on which Singal's framing relies
