Cathexis, it's not the researcher's argument that biological diversity threatens equal identity. That's the argument of many modern progressives (a group that I frequently vote with) who assert that biology must be irrelevant to justice, except when it is exculpating (mental illness, etc.).
Equality of outcome (a dubious goal) starts from an assumption that there is equality of biology and if we follow through with equality of treatment, we can all live in a level of comfort that is both fair and equal. If equality of biology is unattainable and getting farther away, an expectation of equal outcomes can't be sustained. I'm a little alarmed by increasing acknowledgment of biological inequity, as it would be a mistake for inequalities of biology and opportunity to be translated into permanent power disparities, but such a trend may be inevitable.
