A Bunch of Law Professors Talk Sex and Gender

Sowing confusion in the process and getting much of it wrong

April 10, 2025

If you need a little pick-me-up, please check out this entire thread by the group Women Are Real (@WomeAreReals on X). The thread comes complete with multiple highly-entertaining videos set to music. I could watch the first one (set to Dolly Parton singing “9 to 5”) all day long.

But this post is about a webinar I attended last night about sex and gender in the law.

Earlier this year, the Big Ten Law Schools (the law schools at the universities in the Big Ten Conference) announced a new webinar series titled “Rule of Law in 2025.” This is the program’s description:

The Big Ten law schools have coordinated a series of virtual panel discussions that examine the Rule of Law in 2025 after an unprecedented series of executive orders, legal interpretations, and administrative actions by the Trump administration over the last several months. Distinguished panelists will present a broad range of perspectives and nuanced views on the rule of law during a period of constitutional, legal, and governmental recalibration.

It’s fun for law nerds, but anyone can attend for free.

There was a panel discussion last night titled “Rearticulation of Sex and Gender.” A thoughtful subscriber alerted me to it, and I attended.

When I logged on, I expected to be entertained by listening to a bunch of law professors spout nonsense about gender woo, but I also naively thought that at least one of the panelists might have cautiously offered the perspective that sex is real and needs to be protected in the law. It is April of 2025, after all, and common sense appears to be creeping back into the federal judiciary after about a decade of utter nonsense coming from the federal courts.

But no. Read on to learn more.
