Summary

Canadian neuroscientist and former academic sex researcher whose The End of Gender argues that biological sex differences in brain and behavior are real and that the current gender ideology denies scientific evidence — making her a prominent heterodox voice on sex, gender, and neuroscience.

Core Contribution

Provides academic credibility to the biological sex difference position in the gender debate — speaking from neuroscience research experience rather than political philosophy — and is the primary scientist-level voice in the MW ecosystem making the case against strong social constructionism about gender.
