On the principle of using this blog to store stuff of interest, and since I've written on gender in the past (and so have a label for it!), I'm sharing this article:
Judith Butler on the culture wars, JK Rowling and living in “anti-intellectual times”
Alona Ferber, New Statesman 22 September 2020
which I found to be a particularly clear presentation on the current arguments between trans-exclusionary feminists and trans rights activists.
A possible framing might posit gender as an informational concept and (biological) sex as a physical concept. Or biology as data and gender as information. That might serve some purposes but won't really survive interrogation: biological sex is informational too.
