Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Exactly. Don’t do it.

God that’s depressing.

I’m sorry to be banging on about reading in schools again but Estyn’s Chief Inspector was asked about how children in Wales should be taught to read and to say his answer was revealing would be an understatement. 👇🧵

I’ve been having fun today. Brilliant evidence sessions to the “committee”. Fund the Gallium Triangle (sounds like a Star Trek episode) and Make Wales Great Again being particular highlights. Thanks everyone!

Looks interesting, thanks. Hope you’re well.

Thank you! I didn’t realise you feel like an outsider. In current circumstances, hope all is ok.
