Defining “woman” through biology is not regressive. It’s scientifically accurate. What’s regressive is thinking women can be reduced to culturally-defined roles, stereotypes, caricatures, and feelings.

Our respective celebrities represent the two sides quite well I think. JK Rowling writes a considered and evidenced argument for the Times and David Tennant tells a woman to shut up and stop existing 🤷

You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes. I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not…

A point has been reached where those of us who value truth, who value reason, who value material reality and who recognise that the very foundation of how we make sense of the world, the scientific method, is being undermined, take a stand. @SeenStem

We are quoted in this Sunday Post article on the Scottish Prison Service transgender prisoner policy, and its report detailing female prisoner and staff views, which the SPS refuses to publish.

#OnThisDay 1974: children's classic Bagpuss first aired on BBC One. Created by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate, it ran for just 13 episodes, but remains a cult programme for millions. In 2005, both men reminisced about how they made the show.
