This Data Flips the Transgender Bullying Narrative on Its Head A massive study finds that trans-identifying teens, especially those who identify as ‘nonbinary,’ are more likely to bully others than be bullied.

This Data Flips the Transgender Bullying Narrative on Its Head

A new Finnish study found that trans-identified adolescents—especially those who identify as “nonbinary”—were more likely to bully others than they were to be bullied.

‘Froggy Girl’—One Therapist’s Answer to the Gender Book Industry Too many books teach kids they were born wrong; mine teaches them to love the body they’re in.

The gender book industry is a powerful tool of indoctrination. We need reality-based alternatives.

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger's new book—Froggy Girl—is her answer.

"We can’t control every message children hear, but we can make sure they hear the truth at least once."

Trump Was Right to Defund the Trevor Project The organization has peddled pseudoscience to vulnerable kids.

Today, the U.S. government officially ended its partnership with the Trevor Project.

While the left melts down, Brad Polumbo and I highlight a major reason for the decision: the Trevor Project's promotion of harmful gender ideology and sex pseudoscience targeted at vulnerable youth in crisis.

...or binary compounds. Sex is binary in the sense that it is composed of two and only two parts. "Sex is binary" is a synonym for "there are only two sexes." It is totally compatible with organisms not having a sex or organisms like garden snails that are both sexes.

Gametes define the sexes. That is absolutely fundamental. And there is more than one definition of "binary." It's not like computer code where there is only 0s and 1s. Another definition is "composed of two parts." We use this definition when we refer to things like binary star systems...

Pretty typical response.

But sex ambiguity is not a third sex or evidence against the binary nature of sex. And most people, as I said, are clearly either male or female. The existence of ambiguous cases does not mean everyone is ambiguous or that sex is a social construct.

But being sexless is not a new sex. And true hermaphrodites in other species are also not a new sex. They're both sexes.

Sex is binary because there are only two sexes. I never said bodies are binary. Most people are unambiguously male or female. A vanishingly rare minority may be ambiguous.

There are only two sexes, because the differences between gametes—sperm and ova—is not continuous. It is discrete. My claim is not and has never been that "everyone is either male or female." Sex is a developmental outcome. It's totally conceivable that an individual fails to develop a sex.

And no, humans cannot change their sex. They can change their physiology and secondary sexual characteristics, but these are just cosmetic changes that don't actually alter a person's sex. If you believe that it does, you have a very superficial understanding of what it means to be male or female.

Well, when I say "sex is binary because there are only two sexes," and you object to that statement by saying "but some animals can change sex," I have to assume you some believe that means changing sex is somehow a third sex. Otherwise your response makes no sense.

Some animals can change sex, but humans cannot. Still, in the animals that can change sex, there are only 2 sexes.

None of those things are a 3rd sex. Try again.

I am all for "all gender" restrooms as long as there are also male- and female-only restrooms as well.

But is there also a women-only restroom?

The Bulwark’s Firehose of Lies on Sex and Gender Jill Lawrence’s latest piece shows how political slogans about “trans rights” collapse under basic facts of biology, law, and evidence-based medicine.

Writing for @thebulwark.com, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social argued that the “transgender issue” isn't a distraction for Democrats but a chance to uphold human rights, morality, and science.

It's shocking a piece so detached from reality could be published to a wide audience without a single fact-check.

Hello @safety.bsky.app. My account has been wrongfully slapped with an "Impersonation" label, and nobody is responding to my appeals. Please remove this label. I can verify my identity any way you would like.

Harvard, Trump, and the Battle Over Bias Demanding viewpoint affirmative action is not the correct response to Harvard’s longstanding political bias.

The Trump administration is right to withhold funding over Harvard's racist and ideological hiring and admissions policies that violate the CRA.

However, demanding ideological “affirmative action” to achieve viewpoint “equity” is the wrong approach.

Opinion | Trump Can Ban Transgender Birth Certificates Most states allow natives to alter their recorded sex, an affront against science and a danger to women.

On Day 1, Trump signed an executive order affirming the reality that sex is binary, immutable, and based on gametes—not “gender identity.”

This was needed. However, protecting women’s rights requires not just acknowledging biological reality but also PREVENTING EFFORTS TO HIDE IT.

Understanding the Sex Binary Accurate, nonpoliticized descriptions of biology are essential to crafting policy to preserve the integrity of female-only spaces.

Because your sex is a result of natural development, and modification after the fact is merely cosmetic. You cannot change your sex.

Sex is not defined by an aggregate of sex characteristics. My essay below should be clarifying for you.

Sex Differences in Sexuality: A Key to Understanding Autogynephilia Understanding sexual arousal, sexuality, and the male propensity for paraphilias set the stage for understanding autogynephilia.

This essay by Michael Bailey on sex differences in sexuality is utterly fascinating and sets the groundwork for his upcoming essays in Reality’s Last Stand that will dive deep into our current scientific understanding autogynephilia.

Great piece from Rogé Karma on how Dems misread Latino opinion on immigration, and ended up shifting far to the left of where most voters were www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
