Almost Half Of UK University Scientists Refuse To Say Sex Is Binary<\/span><\/p>\n

A survey highlighted by\u00a0The Telegraph<\/a>\u00a0has found that only 58 percent of scientists at British universities believe that sex is binary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The poll also found that most of the 200 scientists surveyed believe that gender is fluid.<\/p>\n

Twenty-nine percent of respondents to the survey agreed with the statement that \u201csex is not binary,\u201d while 13 percent of respondents did not share a view on the question or preferred not to give an opinion.<\/p>\n

That means that 42 percent of the scientists would not classify sex as binary.<\/p>\n

Wrong headline.<\/p>\n

Sex is binary. That is a fact, not an opinion to be polled. The article gives us the alarming information that 29% of scientists (which sciences, I wonder?) deny something that is obviously, demonstrably, true. https:\/\/t.co\/88aR7XdzdT<\/a><\/p>\n

The poll, conducted by Censuswide, a market research consultancy, also found that 64 percent of scientists said gender is fluid, with only 22 percent saying the believe gender is binary, and a further 14 percent not providing an answer.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the findings, Dr. Wolfgang Goymann, a professor of behavioral biology at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, said \u201cTo me this just means that at least 29% of the academics that filled out this questionnaire do not understand the biological concept of sex, and at least 22% of them do not know what gender means.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goymann has noted that some scientists are now positing that sex is a graded spectrum rather than a\u00a0binary\u00a0trait.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeading science journals have been adopting this relativist view, thereby opposing fundamental biological facts,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we fully endorse efforts to create a more inclusive environment for gender-diverse people, this does not require denying biological sex,\u201d Goymann continued.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cOn the contrary, the rejection of biological sex seems to be based on a lack of knowledge about evolution and it champions species chauvinism, inasmuch as it imposes human identity notions on millions of other species.\u201d<\/p>\n

Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, told The Telegraph \u201cThis survey has two remarkable findings. The first is that 29 per cent of academics are apparently unaware of the obvious fact that sex is\u00a0binary. The second is that nearly two-thirds of academics say that \u2018gender is fluid\u2019. That is a strikingly confident statement about a nebulous concept.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis muddle feeds through into academic research and public policy. It\u2019s concerning that people supposedly among our best and brightest are seemingly blind to this confusion,\u201d Joyce further noted.<\/p>\n
