Excerpt:

This once objective magazine now regularly panders to trans-activist pseudoscience.

When its articles touch on questions of gender and biological sex, Scientific American seems to have abandoned objective facts entirely, in favour of trans-activist pseudoscience.

In 2019, an article by Simón(e) D Sun, who identifies as a ‘transgender nonbinary woman’, tells us to ‘Stop using phoney science to justify transphobia’. The piece is, as you might expect, filled with ideologically driven language and easily disprovable claims. For instance, it asserts that sex is 'assigned' at birth when it is not -- it is observed and recorded. It also suggests that 'scientific endeavour is quantifiably better when it is more inclusive'. But what if 'being inclusive' requires us to deny the reality of biological sex? That would surely put inclusivity at odds with science.
