This denial of gender springs from the same well as scientists (weirdly) claiming that, “Because there is some overlap, this proves these two things are EXACTLY THE SAME! And here’s the math to prove it!”

Of course that’s just politics intruding into science and emerges from a shoddy and ill-suited attempt to battle racism/eugenics that does far more harm to science than it does to prevent racism. But there you have it. Now scientists are fecklessly repeating the same mistakes with gender and the denial of biology itself.
