JK Rowling is right: biological sex is real; biological females are fundamentally different from trans women; certain spaces should be reserved for biological women. I support trans women's right to live as women, but Rowling is right about all of the above.

The first 30 years of Jesus' life. This guy was God incarnate, yet aside from one story, their gospels literally have nothing to say about what he did for the first 30 years of his life? God was walking around on Earth every day for thirty years, but no mention of any of it?

This is a dishonest argument and an attempt to weaponize identity politics against Dr. Leonardi. As he's pointed out, he has criticized Francois Balloux, Vinay Prasad, Michael Levitt, Jeremy Kamil. All men. It's never been about gender, and it's dishonest for you to suggest this.

The fetus doesn't have consciousness or sentience until month 8. So actually, it's your view that is unscientific. That it "looks" like a "baby" in the 2nd trimester is irrelevant. It has no thoughts, no ideas, no desires; it thinks nothing, feels nothing & is not a "person".

The Latin origin of the word is irrelevant to what the word means scientifically today, Joe. Argument by etymology is fallacious. A fetus has neither sentience nor consciousness nor independent existence. It is developing human life—nothing more.
