Your sex is a very important medical data point, which is determined by your genetics before you’re even born and can’t be changed.
Your gender can be different than that though.
Like, this shit isn’t even controversial at all, even among trans communities until you get a bit too terminally online or you’re within a few hundreds of meters from a university campus.

“Post removed due to not being related to biology”
Fuck brilliant tbh
“Deleted for being unrelated to biology”
Amazing
Lmao the fact that someone from a national health service had to come out and flat out say it its incredibly funny and a mirror of our times
(btw the original post got taken down and locked)
No surprise here. We’ve always been a sciency nation.
I was thinking about different segs when I read the title and I was hoping they will go to the censors with that proclamation
Congratulations, they rediscovered long forgotten facts.
In 10 years we will deny this was ever a controversy.
Peak Reddit moment over on the biology sub. Ideology over reality. Yeah baby.
HOW THE FUCK THIS IS SO HARD FOR ALL OF YOU?!?!?!
WOMEN ARE THE ONES WITH MOUSTACHES!!!

thing with sex in medicine is, it’s extremely relevant to a huge amount of things. males and females are different animals in that arena. shit, sometimes i even think where a woman is in her cycle should somehow be reported to healthcare workers as standard so they know what’s going on hormonally (cos them hormones just fucking go). point is, introducing any amount of confusion or ambiguity into a health care *system* that treats millions of people means that people **will** get hurt because of it. sex differences is almost always at the top of risk factors and considerations for any disease, medication or treatment. it’s just an unnecessary risk, and if you’re offended at the word “unnecessary” i want to again underline how freaking different males and females are. it’s a bigger risk than any emotional gain it could bring would justify.
I fucking love the NHS
Noone is contesting this?
Not the Telegraph casually equating sex and gender to try and get a rise.
Wtf are those replies on r/biology ahahaha
ITT: people not knowing the difference between sex and gender…
Sex is always been regarded that way, it’s gender that the modern discussion has been about lol. This changed nothing
Sex is a biological fact, sure, but broadcasting this decision is a political bullshit move to rile up the masses and distract them from actual issues. The entire “culture war” is, and I’m personally kind of tired of it. Why is screaming about some 0.1% of the population more important than addressing actual issues in the country?
So I can see why the biology sub would get rid of the post, the post is about politics more than biology

Did Barry volunteer for the research?
It’s almost as if sex is different from gender
I mean, I’m non binary and even I agree.
