"Trans activists routinely assert that “sex is a
social construction,” that the biological
distinctions of male and female are not objectively real but are created
by societies."  This is indeed strange, and reminds me of the conversation
we had with Kathryn yesterday.

"In the vast majority of cases, everyone agrees on the sex of a newborn,
which is observed not assigned. These questions about words are not
trivial; how we talk about the world can change how we understand the
world."  It's still remarkable how unobjective sex determination is.  It
shows how little humans, in general, still know about everything.
