This is so funny. All the arguments anti-feminists have about why there is a scarcity of women in STEM are based on assumed innate differences and biology. They are not arguing against trans women in STEM on that basis, because many were already in STEM when they transitioned and are biologically male. The easiest way forward for WITS is just to focus counting on trans women as women in their statistics. Problem solved!

I am giving up. The harm from this trans takeover will fall on exactly the demographic group they were supposed to fight for. But I guess they are okay with that.

Actually, the trans dogma would argue that being interested in STEM means that you are probably a man (if playing with dolls as a child means that you are girl, then surely adult occupational choices are equally informative). So WIST is a totally unnecessary organization in the first place.

Ahahahaha, this reminds me of one my top three favorite comments received during my career in STEM:

"You don't look like a computer scientist."

Interesting how almost all the tweet replies I could see to that - probably 99% of them - were on our side.

This absolutely infuriates me!! This book of all things! Urgh, the pandering to the TRA is ridiculous.

The tweet says they're still reading and discussing it so that's good at least.

At least people in the comments are rational.

Clown world. Glad to see most replies are rational. And one woman is -thisclose- to peak trans because of this.
