Instagram censors evolutionary biologist for posting a chart from transgender study by prominent science journal that showed biological men are stronger than biological women in a range of Olympic sports

• • Evolutionary biologist, Colin Wright, had one of his Instagram posts removed for ‘hate speech’ and claims he was unable to appeal his review
  • The chart taken from a scientific study showed that cisgendered males have a performance advantage over cisgendered females across a range of sports
  • Wright posted the chart as part of his defense that children should be assigned to sports teams based on the sex they were assigned at birth
  • This debate has continued past the Tokyo 2020 Olympics which saw the first openly transgender athlete compete; the studies were conducted previously
  • Instagram introduced updated policies for posts and accounts reported for violating the Community Guidelines but did not give clear parameters
  • The social media giant, along with parent company Facebook, has come under fire for its censorship
  • Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter are suing Texas for a newly introduced state law allowing residents to sue platforms for censoring them
