An early advocate of ‘gender theory’ now says he was wrong, and admits that, for crucial aspects of his work, he ‘basically just made it up’.
Christopher Dummitt said he was ‘so angry and assertive’ about his views because he was trying to hide the fact that he ‘didn’t have proof’ for much of what he was pushing. In an about-turn published on the Quillette academic website, he said he was disappointed his ‘baseless arguments’ were now being adopted by governments as well as activists.
Bizarre gender theories
Dummitt explained that 20 years ago he was pioneering bizarre gender theories, insisting ‘that there was no such thing as sex’.
