Summary

Today we're joined by evolutionary biologist Dr. Colin Wright to discuss the biological realities of sex. We start off with a basic definition of what sex is and why you can't teach biology without teaching the fundamental truth of X and Y chromosomes. We explain how using "intersex" as evidence of transgenderism doesn't make sense when one has nothing to do with the other and "intersex" is an extreme biological outlier rather than a supposed "identity." We also touch on sex when it comes to sports and how we define and accept "fairness" when it comes to athletic competitions. At the end of the episode, Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, joins for a quick news update. --- Timecodes: (01:05) Academic biology (09:43) Can you teach biology without teaching X and Y chromosomes?
