Biology, Sex, and Transgender People: A Resource Page

The second narrative is that “biological sex” is strictly dichotomous and immutable, and therefore supersedes transgender people’s self-understood “gender.” This narrative implies that trans people must be “delusional” (or perhaps even “brainwashed by gender ideology”) for not identifying and behaving in accordance with the sex that they were assigned at birth. Such appeals to “biological sex” also attempt to circumvent existing nondiscrimination and inclusion policies and laws, virtually all of which hinge on terms such as “gender identity” and “gender expression.” The thing is, these “biological sex” arguments typically rely on either an elementary-school-level understanding of biology, or adhere to a rigid “sex/gender distinction” that was popular in the second half of the twentieth century but has since been largely discarded by scholars in biology, psychology, sociology, and gender studies. <a href="https://juliaserano.medium.com/biology-sex-and-transgender-people-a-resource-page-4f11b1058103">Click Here</a>
