But it is important to unpack his statement and understand that some of what it says is not just a matter of moral conviction but is also scientifically correct. Sex is a biological reality. Gender expression is personal and fluid. But whether you approve of people surgically altering their bodies (especially in case of children) or not, doing so does not magically transform you into a female and gives you automatic access to females-only spaces. I am not even talking of pronouns which are about as significant in determining sex as wearing makeup, which men used to do all the time in centuries past. It is significant that the opposing voices quoted in this article do not argue from science but from the supposed “harm” done to trans people by openly discussing biology and psychology of sex. In the past it was religion that empathized the supposed “harm” to the feelings of the faithful done by science. Now the roles are reversed, and trans activists sound like the religious zealots of the past.
