"too sophisticated to categorize people by their physiology"

"Proclaiming that transwomen are women is a way of showing that you are a member of an elite intellectual tribe—university-educated, left-leaning and too sophisticated to categorize people by their physiology."

     Helen Joyce, Trans:  when ideology meets reality (London:  Oneworld, 2021), 289.  Next sentence:  "Adherence is signalled with pronouns in email signatures and social-media bios."  p. 290:

     The final indication of a crony belief is that nothing important is allowed to ride on it.  To show that this is true of gender-identity ideology, I offer the following thought experiment.  Picture a person who insists that that transwomen are women in every circumstance.  If transwomen commit crimes, they belong in women's prisons; if they play sport, they belong on women's teams.  If they are attracted to women, lesbians must regard them as potential sexual partners.  Such a person will accept no distinction between sex and gender.  Transwomen differ from 'cis women' only in having been mistakenly 'assigned male at birth'.  Now, what will our true believer do if they need a gestational surrogate?"

p. 295:

In everyday life, sex matters less than it used to—but when it does matter, it is sex that matters, not gender identity.
