Caitlyn Jenner and Language

We'll cover the matter in greater depth a bit later, but for now I think this is spot on:

On most days of the week, liberals are fond of claiming that Republicans are "anti-science" on everything from global warming to evolution. Well, last I checked, biology hadn’t been declared a branch of the humanities.
Bruce Jenner was 65 years old when he decided to be a she, but that’s not why Caitlyn can’t have a baby. Figuratively speaking, removing the spigot won’t change the rest of the plumbing. That’s not patriarchal oppression talking. That’s science. And no matter how fluid gender may or may not be, the biological category of "female" isn’t going away anytime soon.

Read the whole thing.
