  • I would argue that that’s still ‘basic biology’, given that most of the time when people learn about this stuff for the first time the ‘central dogma’ is taught in a package, and that it doesn’t go over things such as ribozymes and regulatory stuff. In any case, DNA essentialism is still stupid, since it’s disproved in numerous ways even without involving sex and gender (the elephant in the room being tissue differentiation)




  • Eh, I would argue that sex is more like an arbitrary classification than a spectrum, but other wise I completely agree with what you’re saying. And even in schools, at least from my experience, they don’t teach you about gender and sex being the same thing, they only teach you about sexual characteristics and what they do. So all their arguments were essentially completely pulled out of their asses. Gender itself actually isn’t discussed very much in any of the biology textbooks I own, probably because it’s more psychology-adjacent. We don’t really touch anything more complex than reflexes lol
