    i agree that poll is insufficiently specific, however, even if 100% of that 58% agreed with you, that would still not meet the criteria for scientific consensus, which is typically in the 90’s. Show me a poll that indicates those beliefs are agreed upon in the 90’s without an intersex objection and you will prove me wrong!

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10563654/ this might interest you, if you bother to read it, I disagree that it has anything to do with a lack of evolutionary knowledge, in fact I find the people most ignorant of evolution strongly hold this belief regularly, but that is a mere anecdote. None of the roundtable had anything to do with that, those claims seem baseless and dataless.

      That link is a great example of why gender studies degrees aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, goddamn. They’re not doing science, they’re zealots pushing for a new religion to infect science just like creationists of old 🤦

        …Your quote is about changing the culture of a workplace to increase the number of scientists, and their happiness with their job.

        What’s the problem with that? Why is that not worthwhile to have more scientists?
