Then there is “he, she, or it” to produce h’orsh’it. (credit Cecil Adams)

Narrow the definition of gender? you mean narrow it down to “male” and “female”? Any four year old kid playing “doctor” can do that!

These people are supposed to pass as “scientists” nowadays??

Of course!

They showed the 'scientists' a number of photos & video clips of 'Seven of Nine'. 67.8% said, "I'll take #7!" 23.44% said, "I wonder what 1 through 6 and 8 or 9 look like?" The remainder said, "I want Lt. Riker!"

He’s not narrowing the definition. He’s reminding people of what the definition IS, by nature, and something that cannot be changed.

These are the same bastards who stayed up all night searching for the “gay gene.” Their plan was to claim that gay is 100% natural.

Faced with the reality that there is a man gene, and a woman gene, they trash the idea of genes.

...”These people are supposed to pass as “scientists” nowadays??”...

I guess people can make claims to whatever suits their purpose these days. Elizabeth Warren, you know, claimed to be Native American. Some investigation cleared that up. I am guessing a little investigation might clear up these claims to science expertise, as well.

“The sexes are male or female. This is determined by one’s plumbing”

I agree except that I don’t know if the plumbing can be abnormal at birth.

In my post all I’m suggesting is a way to eliminate haggling by our personal questionerss such as government and businesses. If these institutions need to know the sex of someone they’re considering, they can ask or just take a look.

No disrespect intended toward you or anyone else who is actually a real behavioral scientist - I should have phrased my view better. I simply see too many unqualified people calling themselves scientists and using that label to give their views the weight of authority to a gullible news media.

“The letter was written in response to a memo reportedly drafted by the Department of Health and Human Services”

This is politics and should be prosecuted.
