Reality backs the position there is only male and female

Clive Palmer has spent big to proclaim the truth there are only two genders.

We prefer the word “sexes” but we all understand the message. The pandering to a lie and a deception that a person can be other than a male or female is coming to an end.

His advertisement appeared on the front page of the Age and has inflamed those who want to continue to try and deceive or gaslight the public into accepting a human can change sex.

They can’t.

No human has ever changed their sex. It is cruel and deceptive to affirm the lie that men can be women if they wish or vice versa.

I will admit I was pleasantly surprised the ad was even accepted.

The Newcastle Herald published the ad but quickly removed it from its online publication and issued a grovelling apology to readers.

In a nutshell they affirm what most of us suspect - they are in the narrative business, not the news business. They prefer to pander to feelings than print reality.

No one should ever apologise for speaking evidence-based, scientific fact.

Biological reality is not a left or right wing political issue.

It is not an ethnic or socio-economic issue.

It is not a religious issue.

It is simply reality and if news outlets are too afraid to publish the truth for fear of backlash it tells you everything you need to know about such publications.

Take heart though, the comments on social media have been brilliant and very positive when it comes to the reality that it's only male and female - that’s all folks.
