Biophobia

An irrational fear of or aversion to recognizing biological sex as a key factor in discussions of gender, including gender spaces, sexual attraction, and sporting ability. It involves a denial of the importance of biological sex in certain contexts, where it may be seen as overriding gender identity. This term is often used to describe those who resist acknowledging biological differences in these areas, and it is sometimes invoked in debates where concerns grounded in biological sex are met with accusations of bigotry or transphobia, suggesting that such resistance is an irrational avoidance rather than a legitimate concern.

Critics accused of biophobia often reject any discussion about the impact of biological sex on competitive fairness in women’s sports, insisting that all athletes should be categorized exclusively by gender identity.
