The Progressive’ war on ~~science~~ reality continues apace. From healthline.com:

Many individuals don’t see body parts as having a gender — people have a gender. And as a result, the notion that a penis is exclusively a male body part and a vulva is exclusively a female body part is inaccurate.

Sev "There is nothing in human biology that dictates that boys prefer...." I did an experiment with our son when he was few years old by giving him Barbie doll to play. He carefully looked at it, smash it couple of times, tossed it across the room and went back to his trucks. Something in biological make up of males and females is driving us to have different and complementary interests. "a smaller but significant number of people are bisexual or homosexual" Significant? Homosexuals make only 1.6% of population. They are insignificant as consumers, taxpayers and voters. They are only significant and useful to leftist groups as one of the tools by which they promote sexual revolution ideology.Eugen_{August 26, 2018

Earth to Seversky- The problem is when the majority has to bow to a very small minority. We have to change our language-> they can now refer to one person. We have guys now competing with and against women- it seems there is something in biology that dictates men are just bigger, stronger, faster and better athletes.ET_{August 24, 2018

Nobody is denying that the human species is largely comprised of two physically distinct sexes for the purposes of reproduction. However, the roles played by the two sexes in society are cultural conventions. There is nothing in human biology that dictates that boys prefer outdoor sports and the color blue or that girls should wear dresses, play with dolls and prefer the color pink. Human sexuality has both physiological, psychological and social components and is a lot more complex than some would like. There are babies whose sex is indeterminate at birth and may be incorrectly assigned by the doctors. There are people who find themselves much more comfortable playing the role of the opposite sex in society. It's also true that the majority of human beings are heterosexual but that does not change the fact that a smaller but significant number of people are bisexual or homosexual with possibly more heterosexuals having a touch of bisexuality than they would care to admit. There is nothing immoral about these preferences or behaviors as long as they are not being imposed on individuals against there will. There is no suggestion that heterosexuals should be compelled to engage in homosexual practices and any attempt to do so would be immoral. However, there are significant social pressures on LGBTQ individuals to be other than they are which, in some cases involves physical violence and murder. That is quite wrong. I regard one measure of how "civilized" a society is as the the extent to which it is able to tolerate those who are different from the cultural norms. Teaching children to understand and tolerate those who are different is a good thing and it is certainly possible to teach them about homosexuality without encouraging them to engage in gay sex. What is alarming, in this context, is the apparent upsurge in partisanship, bigotry and intolerance which is finding expression through populist demagogues like Trump or Peterson whose skill seems to lie in pandering to the prejudices of their base. We have seen what this can lead to before.Seversky_{August 24, 2018

Regardless of what individuals may think about gender, cells and the brain knows there is a difference in gender
The genetic difference between men and women,,, - 06 Nov 2017 Excerpt: a full third of our genome is behaving very differently in men and women. These new data pose challenges for science, medicine and maybe even gender equity. The human genome Men and women have practically the same set of about 20,000 genes.,,, They found that about one third of these genes (more than 6,500) had very different activities in men and women. Some genes were active in men only or women only. Many genes were far more active in one sex or the other. A few of these genes showed sex biased activity in every tissue of the body. More commonly, the difference was seen in one or a few tissues. Most of these genes were not on sex chromosomes: only a few lay on the Y or the X. How could a third of our genes be differently controlled in men and women? https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/11/throughout-our-bodies-thousands-of-genes-act-differently-in-men-and-women How Men's Brains Are Wired Differently than Women's Male brains have more connections within hemispheres to optimize motor skills, whereas female brains are more connected between hemispheres to combine analytical and intuitive thinking By Tanya Lewis, December 2, 2013 Excerpt: "On average, men connect front to back [parts of the brain] more strongly than women," whereas "women have stronger connections left to right," said study leader Ragini Verma, an associate professor,,, https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-mens-brains-are-wired-differently-than-women/
I like Jordan Peterson's no nonsense take on this issue:
Jordan Peterson: Gender ideology is ‘completely insane’ - March 2018 https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/jordan-peterson-gender-theory-has-become-unquestionable-doctrine-thats-comp WHY this gender unicorn thing is a problem - Jordan Peterson & Duncan Trussell discuss (indoctrination of junior high students into gender neutrality) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93_2a_upMUw Jordan Peterson: Gender is Based on Biology, Here's Evidence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exlZ85VbPbk "a report finds scarce scientific evidence to conclude that gay and transgender people are “born that way. The 143-page paper, published this week in The New Atlantis journal, combs through hundreds of studies in search of a causal, biological explanation for sexual orientation and gender identity, but comes up empty. “The belief that sexual orientation is an innate, biologically fixed human property — that people are ‘born that way’ — is not supported by scientific evidence,” says the report, written by a psychiatrist and a biostatistician at Johns Hopkins University. “Likewise, the belief that gender identity is an innate, fixed human property independent of biological sex — so that a person might be a ‘man trapped in a woman’s body’ or a ‘woman trapped in a man’s body’ — is not supported by scientific evidence,”" (Born gay or transgender: Little evidence to support innate trait, Wednesday, August 24, 2016) http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/24/born-gay-transgender-lacks-science-evidence/
