I’ve been thinking, and we should have a slogan, a motto for everyone who refuses to be guilt tripped into saying things we know aren’t true, or into denying things that are.
In 1633, the Catholic Church, via the Inquisition, forced Galileo to recant his claim that the Earth moved around the sun. He is said afterwards to have defiantly stated, “Eppur si muove” — “And yet it moves.” He knew that whatever the Church dictated, whatever lies they forced him to repeat, the Earth, nevertheless, continued to move.
The binary and immutable nature of human sex is as scientifically certain as the motion of the Earth. Even if the entire world - every single one of us - believes that some women are born with penises, and that some people are neither male nor female, neither of these things will ever become true, just as no amount of human belief ever made the sun go around the Earth.
Eppur sono uomini — and yet they are men.
