Stephen Ireland, who targeted me with endless abuse on here because I oppose the chemical castration of children and the removal of protected spaces for women and girls, has just been sentenced to 30 years in jail for child rape.

One could be forgiven for thinking there is a connection between men who are anti-safeguarding and men who are predators...

Are you suggesting sexual predators would stampede to embrace a movement intent on removing protections for women and children? Can't see it, myself.

They'll make one of two gamete sizes, which is how sex is defined.

That link is a great example of why gender studies degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on, goddamn. They're not doing science, they're zealots pushing for a new religion to infect science just like creationists of old 🤦

We provide teaching suggestions derived from student interviews for making biology more queer-inclusive.

As discussed, the intersex debate has pushed forward talks about biological precision in terminology, and ways to properly define such things.

No. You're once again confusing sex with phenotype an/d genotype. The only thing that unites a large swathe of the animal kingdom in regards to sex is gamete size. If we toss that out, we lose precision

It is in fact not. You’re confusing “determining” and “defining”

No, that is precisely my point. Sex is determined by many different factors especially across species. Sex is defined as gamete size because there's no other coherent definition.

You really pick bad citations. Citing someone who says "oh i was just being ironic!" is laughable.

She also confuses sex and phenotypes as you have been and those other citations do.

What size gametes do they make?
