My recommended alternative language: “biological distinctions between male and female are a matter of scientific fact and biological sex is an objectively defined category which has obvious, immutable, and distinguishable characteristics†Or something similar. Although it doesn’t appear here, I would also say for future reference that we shouldn’t use the phrase “sex-segregated†when referring to spaces dedicated to one sex or the other. “Sex specific†usually works. I don’t think I need to outline the reasons that we should avoid the above phrases. Thanks for all your work on this crucial issues! --Greg
