Who are these "stakeholders"?
“I also wanted to challenge the use of ‘biological’ arguments in the increasing hostility to trans and non-binary people driven by the government.”
“Discredited reductive and over-simplified ‘biological’ models have been actively used to justify discrimination and human rights abuses, and this pseudoscience has no place in modern scientific inquiry or society.
Translation: it's not real science™ if it goes against the narrative.
The letter adds that research in “many contexts does not need to, nor should, restrict itself to a binary definition of sex or gender,
So their "definition" can change on the basis of "context"? This is an admission that they deliberately avoid clear definitions for the words they use, making debate impossible.
and can be inclusive of intersex, non-binary and/or trans participants without losing scientific rigour”.
Why? Why should biology be inclusive of non-binary? It's like the denial stage of grief: "I feel bad the doctor called me male, so biology is pseudoscience", "I feel bad for my cancer diagnosis, so I'm going to pretend cancer is pseudoscience." This is an admission they bend the "science" around their subjective feelings.
Some people say doing heroine makes them happy. Should we legalize hard drugs? Should we tell children how happy hard drugs make some people? Should we fund hard drugs with taxes? Should we praise drug dealers for bringing happiness? Should we shame people who point out negative effects of doing drugs?
There are plenty of non-religious arguments against surgically removing healthy organs and changing healthy hormone balances. Them putting a Cristian at that table was deliberate as both to pretend going against the narrative is irrational, and a attack on Christianity. They didn't even let the guy finish his point. There was no debate.

It's easier to fool someone than convince him he has been fooled.
He made linux and git, he thinks he has everything figured out. He will never admit that his acceptance applies to people who want to do bad things with children. Because that would be admitting bad things happening because of a gap in his knowledge.
I like how VRChat did it. Giving the community tools to create, and have lax moderation (which might be because unlike text-based media, VRChat doesn't have a log of everything said). They literally have a unity SDK wicht users can use to create (game) worlds and avatars, something facebook will never allow.
Even if facebook somehow made something as free and good as VRChat, users won't migrate to the big evil company.
Just the bi males that say things like "i like both and since you're something in between that's fine by me"🤢
They admit being able to find love, but they want you to call their dicks feminine more than they don't want to be alone.
If only they were able to find psychological help. And I mean actual help, not someone telling them that everyone that calls a dick male is evil.
Reminds me of that time a leftist complained that casting an actual Egyptian being cast as an Egyptian is white washing: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/061/438/53f.jpg They seem to forget that Africans North of the Sahara aren't that dark skinned either. But who needs facts when you can just call people incel for pointing that out.
Under the policy, women must work in at least three per cent of trade roles on a project, seven per cent of non-trade positions and 35 per cent of management, supervisor and specialist labour roles.
So 3-7% for the hard work, but 35% for cosy management jobs. This isn't about equality, this is about getting women into higher positions.
Officials in Europe were saying that after this winter, everyone will have been vaccinated or infected
I live in an European country that just announced extra doses of the vaccines for everyone. Just after the newspaper was telling us how effective the vaccines are no less. They don't even need the extra variant.
When blacks have ghettos it's because "socioeconomic conditions", when Asians succeed despite oppression it's because the Asian's own culture. I wonder what their training data was.
