After reading this new essay in The Conversation (left), I am convinced these people are either stupid or consciously deceptive. There are no other explanations. Ignorance is no longer possible.

Their entire argument is: "The traits of males and females has some overlap."

And? Show me one person who has claimed otherwise.

Nobody ever engages with the actual arguments people like me are making when we claim "sex is binary." I've made my case countless times in excruciating detail in major news outlets, massive podcasts, and leading academic journals. So have others.

My scholarly article "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes" (right) has now been viewed over 73K times. Anyone paying even a little bit of attention knows it exists and what it argues. It directly addresses and debunks the "multidimensional" model forwarded in the new essay.

Yet these activist scientists refuse to engage with any of the actual substance. They just keep arguing against strawmen.

They are of course free to write up a scholarly rebuttal in the same journal I published my paper. I'd even agree to a series of exchanges in a popular outlet. Or a live dialectic via Zoom or in person.

It's 2026 and we're winning the argument and shaping public policy. At some point (i.e., now) these people will need to engage with the substance of my arguments or slowly wither away to irrelevancy.

There are many avenues available to them if they actually want to engage. My DMs are open. Top journals and major news outlets are increasingly willing to publish the exchange. Many large podcasts will gladly host the debate.

Yet they invariably choose to write and speak only to audiences that already agree with them. It's pathetic.

They're completely out of excuses.
