Why is scientific denialism of biological sex so rampant in society currently?
Unfortunately, communists and Marxists have infiltrated and captured our universities, pushing communist and postmodern theory at every opportunity to create a new generation who sees the world through a Marxist, postmodern lens. (See @christopherrufo's book America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything)
This results in a cohort of people who exclusively understand the world through an ideological framework of economic determinism and social constructivism born of power relationships. This ideological framework is essentially "blank slatism" that denies the reality of human biology and human nature in social and political dynamics, positing that human beings are entirely a product of their material economic conditions. Furthermore, they have been taught that having this ideological interpretation of the world is not enough – there is a moral imperative act on their ideology wherever it perceives injustice and be activists for change in society. As Marx said in 1845, “philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.”
Therefore, the pro-regressive left (as I like to call them) believes scientific biological concepts like sex are merely social constructs, produced by those holding economic power for their own self-sustaining ends. They fallaciously believe scientific facts supported by endless evidence can be completely "deconstructed" and undermined in a manner that other non-scientific cultural concepts are within academia. And finally (and most importantly to understand the zealotry) the pro-regressive left denies the reality of scientific biology because in their Marxist ideology it is a morally virtuous thing to do. Scientific knowledge is interpreted as an evil tool of capitalist oppression instead of objective fact that should form the basis of our social and economic theories (like capitalism).
Then there was a Blitzkrieg of gender ideology pushed through society under the heading of DEI during the “great awokening” as these Marxist activists left university and pursued careers giving them real institutional power to wield over society. They have even managed to codify biological denialism in law through the West by making "gender identity" a legally protected characteristic. DEI policies enable scientific biology to be denied by gender ideology and this denial rigorously enforced in workplaces, education settings, and government bodies. Anyone who stands up for scientific realism can be fired or bullied from their positions and face social ostracization, so we are now in a position where there is a chilling effect around those who would defend biological reality.
Lastly, there are many well meaning people in the world that have busy lives and just want a peaceful and happy society. They may have an instinct that gender ideology claims don't add up, but they don't have time to get into the weeds of these issues and debunk all the anti-scientific misinformation. So when gender ideology propaganda tells them to "be kind' and play along otherwise trans kids will commit suicide, they just acquiesce and play along, partly because they have other priorities, party because they do want to be kind, perhaps party even to virtue signal among the wealthy elites with luxury beliefs, and partly to avoid negative social consequences in the gender ideology paradigm that has infiltrated society.
This is where we are.
Now its time to deconstruct the social construct of gender ideology with science and reason.

"A pregnant person is a person who is pregnant."
That's the answer the Liberal-appointed head of the PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF CANADA gave when asked to define a term used in her own agency's taxpayer-funded guidance on pregnancy.
When pressed to explain how that differs medically from a pregnant woman, she couldn't give a clear answer.
Our own Public Health Agency can't even clearly define the language it publishes in its public health guidance...or tell Canadians whether a man can get pregnant.
This is what happens when Liberal identity politics take priority over clear communication about biological reality.

A new law that risks criminalising parents who question whether their children are trans must be scrapped, MPs, peers and experts have demanded.
‘Gender’, as opposed to sex, is an anti-scientific myth. If a child with a penis announces that he is really a girl, parents and teachers have a positive duty to educate him in the scientific truth that he is a boy.
Of course no parent should use physical or psychological abuse for any reason. But if anyone should be prosecuted it is those who abuse their duty of care by encouraging children in the anti-scientific delusion that they can choose their own sex.

Academics denied promotion if they oppose the idea of ‘unconscious bias’
“It is extraordinary that a university should force its academics to affirm scientifically contested claims as though they were articles of faith,” the academic said. “This is the sort of ideological conformity we ought to associate with authoritarian regimes, not British universities.”
The academic added: “Academics at Queen Mary cannot apply for promotion unless they have passed all mandatory training modules, including this one. I know multiple people who have either refused to carry out the ‘compelled speech’ struggle session, and thus cannot get promoted, or have given the officially approved answers in violation of their own convictions.
“This training amounts to an ideological loyalty oath. A university that makes academic promotion conditional on ideological conformity does not understand the difference between scholarship and indoctrination.
“The whole affair represents a grotesque inversion of what universities are supposed to stand for. The defining mission of a university is the pursuit of truth. Yet here we have a university demanding that academics swear fealty to some particular ideological positions, with career consequences for those who refuse.”

22 years ago today, Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh (pictured) was cycling to work in Amsterdam. He never made it because he was assassinated by Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch-Moroccan Muslim man, who was offended by Van Gogh having dared to make a short film that criticised the treatment of women in Islam.
Bouyeri shot him multiple times, slit his throat, then pinned a 5 page jihadist manifesto to his chest. The manifesto was primarily a direct death threat against Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the scriptwriter of the short film (‘Submission’). It called her a heretic and an ‘unbelieving fundamentalist’ who would be ‘smashed against the hard diamond of Islam.’ It also threatened Dutch politicians, labelling them under the control of a ‘Jewish cabal’, and called for the death of ‘unbelievers.’
To this day, Ayaan Hirsi Ali still faces persistent death threats and requires ongoing security protection.
Throughout this period, rather than standing resolutely with her (and others like her) against the ideology that threatened her life and claimed Theo’s, swathes of the liberal establishment, and almost all so called ‘anti-racist’ and ‘feminist’ progressives, labelled her an ‘Islamophobe’ and, in essence, echoed the censorious dogma espoused by the jihadists.
This crime, though not the first, was a harbinger of what was to come. It is not receiving much attention today, but it should.
(P.s. Apologies, I accidentally deleted the first version of this post).

Trans women in women's sports is a top tier issue for humanity because it's a proxy for the following questions:
-- Are we liberal society? (Or are we a progressive authoritarian society?)
-- Are we a pluralistic society? (Or are we social justice theocracy?)
-- Are we a democratic society? (Or are we governed by the unrepresentative consensus of a tiny, delusional elite?)
-- Are we a reason-based society? (Or are we a cargo cult that worships idols?)
-- Are we a reality-based society? (Or do we treat falsehoods as truths when told by people in power that it is virtuous to do so?)
-- Can we put a stop to obvious insanity? (Or are we in the thrall of ridiculous dogmas that no one can dispute because a powerful lobby calls it virtuous to clap along to absurdities and cruelties that destroy fairness?)

NEW: California attorney Julie Hamill corrects CNN's Brianna Keilar after she tried calling biological male track athlete AB Hernandez a girl.
Keilar was very confused during the interview & struggled to keep up.
Keilar: What would make this fair for her to compete?
Hamill: Who is her?
Keilar: AB.
Hamill: Okay. AB Hernandez is a male who identifies as a female. What would be fair is to have Hernandez competing in the male category.
@hamill_law sounds like she's talking to someone in middle school.

Meh.
Communists ideology prescribes violent revolution. They want to overthrow our liberal democracy and we can either submit and cower to their authoritarian system that crushes human freedom and prosperity, or they will kill you. It is that simple.
Historically, they have achieved violent revolutions time and time again, resulting in nothing but death in despair, but they will keep trying, everywhere and always, until communism rules the world.
So you can either use the power of state sanctioned violence to destroy the people who are planning to destroy you, literally not figuratively, or you can accept their Overton window and wait for them to acquire enough power to shoot you in the back of the head and roll you into a ditch.
Peaceful debate and peaceful elections are how decisions are made within a liberal democracy, but that peaceful process and respect DOES NOT extend to the communists who do not believe in liberal democracy and want to overthrow it so their gestapo mob can reign supreme.
Destroying communists - including killing ones currently engaged in physical political violence that puts the lives of law enforcement at risk - is self defense and not some kind of violation of the spirit and ethos of a liberal democracy, it is the bare minimum you must do if we want to keep our liberal democracy.

I’ve never told any trans person what they ‘should be.’ As far as I’m concerned, trans people can call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. What trans people aren’t entitled to is universal agreement that they’ve changed sex, acclaim for their embodiment of sex stereotypes, the reconfiguration of laws around an objective untruth or women’s surrender of their sex-based rights.

Amy Hamm, a nurse and single mother, was dragged through a modern-day witch trial for saying that men are not women.
Her profession was a nurse, yet she was called "unprofessional" by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives for understanding biology.
She lost her career overnight and has been ordered to pay $94,000 in costs.
She will be appealing the decision in a little over a week.
I stand with Amy Hamm. ✊🏻

November 10, 12 & 13: The dates of my appeal trial at the BC Supreme Court.
I am appealing a ruling that found me guilty of "unprofessional conduct" for advocating for the rights of women and children in my off-duty time.
My regulator, the BC College of Nurses, investigated me at the behest of a cancellation mob after receiving complaints from members of the public I've never met. I have never had a patient complaint. I was dragged through years of disciplinary hearings, lasting longer than a murder trial. (My fight was made possible by @JCCFCanada and @LDBildy.)
After my guilty verdict, I was told I would face a 1 month suspension and had to pay $94,000 to the BCCNM. My employer of 13 years, Vancouver Coastal Health, fired me with no severance, and no way to even collect EI. I was a single mom with 2 young boys. The suspension and $94k was put on hold for the appeal. My name is blacklisted and I essentially was pushed out of the profession entirely.
I first noticed the rise of gender ideology a decade ago, and I was fascinated and repulsed that women were being told to shut up about their experiences to make way for people who identify as us. Then I came to understand that paediatric "gender affirming care" is a terrible medical scandal, probably worse than the lobotomy. I began to write about the topic and, with another BC woman, began to organize events to discuss gender ideology. We faced vicious threats, protests, and attempts to shut us down. Later, of course, I was involved in a billboard project that drew a lot of ire from trans activists.
Never could I have imagined that life would go in this direction: being smeared as a bigot across the country; losing my career and long-term financial stability; and spending 6+ years in a protracted legal battle.
I'm still fighting because I care about the truth, free speech (for all of us, but especially for regulated professionals, who don't deserve to be policed in their private lives and forced to go along with state orthodoxy), and women's rights. Please follow along for updates.

Since riots are now spreading across Europe, there are some simple things any country that wants to avoid them can announce.
Anyone found guilty of rioting/looting:
- who is a foreign national will be immediately deported
- who is a dual national will be immediately stripped of their citizenship, then deported
- who is an asylum seeker or has been granted asylum, will be denied asylum/deported
- permanently banned from receiving any benefits/welfare of any kind
- given harsh custodial sentences
Announce this now and avoid riots or watch your country go down the route of France and Germany.

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.
