Listen now | Kit Kowalski and Edie Wyatt talk about the world of sex and gender from a gender-critical perspective, not just the culture war, but law, policy, activism, feminism and all the nonsense.
Rather "amusing", if a bit depressing, that both both Tony Blair and Keir Starmer more or less subscribe to the Kindergarten Cop definitions for the sexes: "boys (males) have penises and girls (females) have vaginas".
" 'What is a woman? Well, it's not a very hard thing for me to answer really,' [Tony Blair] said. 'I'm definitely of the school that says, biologically, a woman is with a vagina and a man is with a penis. I think we can say that quite clearly.' ..."
Given those definitions it is not surprising that so many -- including Blair and Starmer -- apparently "think" that changing sex is simply a matter of changing one's genitalia: "Change your genitalia, change your sex! Act now! Offer ends soon!!" 🙄
Both clearly haven't a flaming clue about the standard biological definitions for the sexes which are joined at the hip with reproductive abilities, although too many others are in the same boat. A "nice" summary from University of Manchester biologist Emma Hilton (AKA FondOfBeetles):
Hilton: "The definition of female is: of or denoting the sex that can produce large gametes. This not a matter of *observation*, this is a matter of *definition*."
