The Strongest Case Against Our View — And Our Answer
We put the best opposing argument in its own words first. Then we reply.

Good arguments start by stating the other side fairly. In this long read we quote the strongest version of the case that sex is better understood as a spectrum, as its leading proponents make it.[1]
We then explain, point by point, why we think the evidence points the other way — and where both sides agree more than the headlines suggest.[2]
“We disagree with the policy — not with the people it affects.”
Where we agree
Both sides agree that people deserve dignity, safety and respect. The disagreement is about definitions and policy, not about whether anyone matters.
Where we differ
Our position rests on how biology defines sex. We set out the reasoning — judge it for yourself, and write to us if you disagree.
