[The exhibit] goes on to say: 'Your gender identity is your sense of yourself as male or female, or, for some people neither or both. It may not match your biological sex.'

Your 'sense'? Your sex isn't a 'sense' it's a motherfucking biological reality; it's an immutable characteristic. How did this crap get into a science museum? I'm glad it's being dismantled but the fact that it existed for even a little while is a big L.

How did this crap get into a science museum?

The push to expand the appeal of and inclusion in science has let a lot of people that have no business anywhere near a museum, let alone an internationally renown national museum of science (it is a truly great museum and well worth a visit, been there many times on my own and with my classes).

The Wellcome Trust has decided to close its museum of medicine because of various woke nonsense, and the Royal College of Surgeons has done the same too. Progressives are prosecuting a Maoist purge of our collective history and culture, and largely getting away with it.
