" 'Biologically male and female' are terms unnecessarily rooted in sexual characteristics'.

WTF. 'Male' and 'female' define biological sex. They are definitions. Words mean things. Understanding biology is pretty necessary for a lot of things, like y'know, medicine and stuff.

What do these organizations believe those terms mean?

If defining sex is unnecessary why are there both YMCAs and YWCAs? /s

I actually would legitimately like to know how they'd answer that question.

I just got a flyer from the local (US) YMCA and I was debating calling them and asking them if they were onboard with the Canadian Ys statement. I think I will call, and if my local Y is on board with TWA BIOLOGICAL W I will ask them that question and get back to you.
