Topics
Gender-Affirming Care
- The Department of Health and Human Services said it has only two pages of literature supporting Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine’s assessment that “gender-affirming care” is “necessary” for transgender youth, prompting allegations that the transgender-identifying Biden administration official has violated the Department’s scientific integrity policies by baselessly claiming it’s settled science. link
- It supports the statement with a footnote to a single study that showed that transgender-identifying young people were slightly less suicidal when receiving treatment — 51% who were receiving such care were suicidal, slightly lower than the 62% who weren’t receiving hormones but wanted them. The HHS document also states that puberty blockers are reversible and hormone therapy is partially reversible.

- Gender-confused people who aren’t affirmed in their gender identity are at a high risk for suicide. But the inverse is also true. Gender-confused people who are affirmed in their gender identity are also at a high risk for suicide. That’s because people with gender dysphoria trend towards suicide no matter what. 8

Sex vs Gender
- When biologists claim that “sex is binary,” they mean something straightforward: there are only two sexes. This statement is true because an individual’s sex is defined by the type of gamete (sperm or ova) their primary reproductive organs (i.e., gonads) are organized, through development, to produce. Males have primary reproductive organs organized around the production of sperm; females, ova. Because there is no third gamete type, there are only two sexes that a person can be. Sex is therefore binary.
- A person with Klinefelter syndrome (XXY), for example, isn’t a new sex in the same way that a person with Down syndrome (who has three instead of two copies of chromosome 21) isn’t a new species.
- A effeminate boy or a masculine girl doesn’t mean their the member of the opposite sex.
- If a girl likes truck that doesn’t make her a boy.
- Strong correlation between gendered behavior and sex.
- “Trans women are women” conflates gender and sex
- Sex is binary. Gender is just temperament.

- The use of “I’m offended by that” as a synonym for “Shut up”
- transgender men in women’s prisons
- Why allow body modification is gender is fluid and it may change in a year?
Quotes
I’m worried we tell little lies and we tell bigger ones. I think its a law to think biology doesn’t matter. Unwise to pass those through always simply because of curtesy. -Douglas Murray
