1/ The scientific literature is now larded with dozens or hundreds of articles on sex/gender that don't even attempt to make sense or follow agreed-upon rules of evidence and reasoning. The "no scientific evidence supports" sentence is both wrong and a complete logical jumble
2/ "Some of the male-female athletic differences stem from reproductive biology."
"Nuh-uh. If that were true, how could Serena Williams win a Grand Slam while about two months pregnant?"
"?????????????????????????? I gotta go"
3/ Maybe academics will have insights on this, but when I come upon sentences like this -- it one has four academics' names on it -- I'm surious is the authors themselves believe what they are saying and/or believe that the sentence is logically coherent.
4/ I found this one because that The Atlantic article about sex-segregated sports links to it, as well as quoting one of its coauthors
5/ Draft paragraph from my Spectactor column
