What do Creationists and Sex Denialists have in common?

1. The framing of human classifications, whether it’s species or sex, as “arbitrary”.

2. The distortion of science and the development of sciencey language to create a veneer of academic rigour.
3. The Gish Gallop: throw any old argument, regardless of its validity, in quick succession at your opponent, force frustrated submission.

‘What about intersex? What about this article? What about an XY person with a uterus? What about the fa’afafine? But clownfish.’
4. The reification of humans as separate from not just monkeys but the rest of the living world, with special pleading for special descriptions.
