Scientific American: It is “Misinformation” That There Are Just Two Sexes
Ideologically Captured
By
Scientific American has published a piece claiming that “misinformation,” such as the notion that there are only two sexes, is “being used against transgender people” and in order to target “gender-affirming medical care.”
The article states that there are three types of “misinformation,” and they are “oversimplifying scientific knowledge, fabricating and misinterpreting research, and promoting false equivalences.”

The piece asserts that “Many of the arguments against trans rights center on the idea that transness itself is not legitimate—that there are just two sexes, period.”
There are only two sexes though.
It then turns to ‘scientist’ Simón(e) Sun, a self described trans(sexual) ándrógýne \ (neuro)biologist, pronouns in bio person and notes “You describe this idea as ‘sex essentialism.’ Can you explain that term, and talk about how it shapes the debate.”
They/she then states “Essentialism is the idea that you can take any phenomenon that is complex and distill it down to a particular set of traits. In the case of sex essentialism, the idea is that you can sufficiently describe sex by a few particular characteristics. In this debate, it used to be chromosomes, now it’s gametes (egg and sperm cells).”
Yeah, that is biology 101 and no matter how many times they/she says it’s changed and that anyone who doesn’t agree is a ‘transphobe’, it hasn’t.
Few things better demonstrate how reliant anti-trans advocates are on pseudoscientific disinformation than the desperate replies to this post. https://t.co/o1mSsWNgy5

They/she continues, “The target is always moving, because if you want to make something binary, then you need to find the most binary characteristic. Today, sex essentialism boils all of sex down to the gametes that a person produces.”
Again, biology 101.
“But biology is just not that simple,” Sun continues, adding “The sex essentialist perspective is completely wrong about the biology of how sex characteristics arise.”
It is that simple though.
The piece goes on in this vein, throws in ‘hate’ and ‘prejudice’ and climate change and Donald Trump, all to push the ideological agenda that life-altering drugs and surgeries shouldn’t be challenged.
Men can’t be lesbians and gay kids don’t need to be chemically castrated.

How are you not bankrupt yet?
I mean financially, we can all see how ethically bankrupt you are.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

Don’t forget the hemaphrodites in the circus. Seriously, what they are doing now is perversion. Only perverts can come up with the stuff that’s happening now.
I see; so “Unscientific American” said it’s “unscientific” (misinformation) to believe that there are only two sexes; but it’s “scientific” or “provable” (using the “scientific method”, of course) that there are more than two sexes; how many, I wonder — an infinite number of sexes?
