Dr. Jennifer McCreight, a Genomics Ph.D. who used to run Blag Hag on this network, recently created a PDF providing a basic overview of the science behind sex and gender. As she tweeted:
My qualifications:

Sex & Evolution (Bio Dept)@jk_rowling what are yours?— Dr. Jennifer McCreight (@jennifurret) June 7, 2020
As someone still learning about these issues, I thought it was a good overview.
I thought it was okay, but then I’ve been immersed in this stuff for quite a while. The gender stuff was, from my perspective, oversimplified, but I guess that’s the level the average cis person can undertand.
I couldn’t help wondering who her intended audience was, though.
1) Thanks for the comment Allison. Jennifer created it as part of a presentation for their coworkers. That’s why its very simplified. I think she’s planning on revising at some point.
