I have three World experts in Micro-biology & Genetics in my immediate circle of family and friends. They too are still learning as Professors & Doctors of their science and have within their world-wide teams no evidence of your views.

Culture can counter biology and create altered development but not the fundamental sexual identity.

Your eco views in your bio. though have much merit.

You have contributed next to zilch other than confused science, no evidence for your ideas, plenty of angst: all perhaps fuelled by deeper issues in yourself. Hiding behind a pseudonym says much about you.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - excellent introduction to this morning’s broadcast (β€˜show’ seems to undervalue your comments)

However, the essence of her original comments are accurate & not β€˜transphobic’.

Tony Benn, had 5 questions he believed should be asked of those in power, designed to challenge authority and promote accountability:
1. What power have you got? 2. Where did you get it from? 3. In whose interests do you exercise it?
4. To whom are you accountable?
5. How can we get get rid of you?
