That link is a great example of why gender studies degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on, goddamn. They're not doing science, they're zealots pushing for a new religion to infect science just like creationists of old 🤦

We provide teaching suggestions derived from student interviews for making biology more queer-inclusive.

...Your quote is about changing the culture of a workplace to increase the number of scientists, and their happiness with their job.

What's the problem with that? Why is that not worthwhile to have more scientists?

Should we also make science more Christian-inclusive? Avoid teaching things that are offensive to them? That would surely increase the number of scientists.

No, because that would be silly. Science doesn't care how you identify. Put up or shut up

Should we also make science more Christian-inclusive?

Yes, being more inclusive is always good.

Avoid teaching things that are offensive to them?

No, but nobody said we should do that, so, what's your point?

That would surely increase the number of scientists.

We aren't increasing it at all costs, we're just finding ways to increase it by being kind to one another.

No, because that would be silly.

Yeah, that would be silly... but nobody is arguing for it and this is entirely a strawman.

Science doesn’t care how you identify.

Humans do science, humans should care.
