@BriannaWu @nickifranek If you were right, there would be strong evidence that puberty blockers & cross sex hormones benefit kids psychologically. But every systematic evidence review has found none. Until someone works out how to diagnose those kids accurately, meds should wait to adulthood.

@zoecabina @JohnKiriakou He's the CIA officer who whistleblowed the "enhanced interrogation" in the GWOT, went to jail, went broke, and now seems to desperately need money so goes on podcasts saying whatever will get him on the next one.

@datadriven_tdoc Why? Can you explain please? Do you mean because transitioning changes skill level so transwomen can't compete with cismen? Or bigotry from male teams? Or it would trigger dysphoria? Or something else?

@RayAlexWilliams @runthinkwrite @helenstaniland Mate, this is one of those sliding doors moments. Option 1: read the book. Think about it with an open mind. Criticise your own ideas. Realise you might be wrong. Get better at thinking. Maybe, find an argument that proves you right. Option 2: remain a self satisfied dullard

@RayAlexWilliams Or would you argue male seahorses don't get pregnant? The gametic definition is the only one that describes observable biological reality. And laws and norms need to reflect biological reality. Because when they don't you get "scientific racism", Lysenkoism, and antivax etc.

@RayAlexWilliams But all the other forms of sex fundamentally depend on the gametic definition. Psychological sex is some attempt to measure the difference in psychology between people who are male (small gametes) Vs female (large gametes). Same with chromosomes, hormone levels, body plan, etc.

@RomeoDoggyDogg @jk_rowling @miroirdufou That's excellent! Can I ask where it came from?

@waslottie @helenstaniland Okay. This study shows trans women in Britain have shown male patterns of murder over the past 25 years: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… This one shows transwomen in Sweden show male patterns of crime, violent crime and sexual crime over 30 years. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21364939/

@daniellismore You are a liar. Both the NHS & ACLU say trans healthcare for kids has no impact on suicide rates. Puberty blockers are not reversible if used to delay normal puberty. There is no weight of evidence they improve the mental health of trans kids. Go read the science & stop lying!

@shadeycat247 @Daisycat32 @tonyphatt @ChrisJoDec1963 @PatriotNorth1 @zaelefty I am afraid you are incorrect. All humans are male or female, as is true for all mammals. Sperm and eggs are binary traits. The gametes define the sexes. Other traits, like height, are just associated with male and female, not defining factors.

@billcat800 @bitcloud @jonnytoshi Isn't the conclusion then that capitalism turns self interest into a public good? Ie a dickhead ends up creating things that help almost everybody... Whereas the history of socialism shows it starts with genuine idealism but typically ends up with tyranny?

@anishmoonka No. Both of those are immature gorillas, and I can't determine their sex. The younger one rolls over to start a play fight with his/her older sibling. Adult males are far bigger than either of the gorillas in this vid. The vid is awesome enough without making up a fantasy...

@srnorty @RichardDawkins There is literally nothing there that challenges Darwinian evolution. Hybridisation is a really interesting part of evolution. No mainstream biologist thinks it is impossible, nor unimportant. Loads of geneticists study it, especially in plants (loads of crops are hybrids).

@srnorty @RichardDawkins Hybridisation is no more a challenge to Darwinian evolution than lichen (combinations of fungi & algae & others) or mitochondria living in animal cells. I don't understand. Can you please explain what the challenge is to Darwinian evolution? Is there a paper I could read?

@srnorty @RichardDawkins He has also debated non-darwinian/intelligent design evolutionists too. He's written extensively on Behe, for example.

@SkegSurf2 @Gerrymc26611910 @CaolanReports To be fair, the two who commented here are pretty clearly bots so they don't even have personality flaws. Why are the Russkies so bad at all this? I was genuinely scared of them as a kid.

@srnorty @RichardDawkins Mate, @RichardDawkins has a long, long history of debating evolution with religious believers. Just Google it and you can find loads of them...
