1981, John Norman, Guardsman of Gor, unnumbered page:
The culture has not suppressed the biotruths of human nature but found a place for them.
2010, David Kiefaber, "Johnnie Walker keeping dudes all bottled up", Adweek, 8 December 2010:
Not only do they reinforce the dumb sitcom biotruth that men should never be open about anything,
2015, Felix O'Connor, "How to reconcile male privilege as a female to male feminist", Trinity News (Trinity College Dublin), 15 December 2015, page 15:
It's often explained by thinly veiled transmisogyny or something about the inherent aggressiveness of the penis – despite the fact that some trans women and transfeminine people don't have penises, or that so much of feminism is about rebuking biotruths.
2018, Aaron Moses Dishy, "Swallowing Misandry: A Survey of the Discursive Strategies of r/TheRedPill on Reddit", thesis submitted to the University of Toronto, page 28:
RedPill masculinity is unique and incorporates ingroup narratives and ideological elements in its self-conception. RedPills understand ideal masculinity to be innately tied to biology, or biotruths. These biotruths determine all aspects of masculinity and male worth.
2018, Edwin G. Hodge, "Grievance and Responsibility: Emotional motivators and knowledge production networks in men’s rights and pro-feminist men’s groups in North America", thesis submitted to the University of Victoria, pages 18-19:
The neo-traditional masculinity espoused by the men’s rights movement argues that men ought to aspire to a kind of performative masculinity, organized around strength, reliance, stoicism, rationality and logic, and a reliance on “biological truisms” (sometimes referred to by movement critiques by the mocking term “biotruths”) which MRAs feel justify acting in certain ways.
2020, Peter McLaren, "The Defenestration of Democracy", in Tracks to Infinity, The Long Road to Justice: The Peter McLaren Reader, Volume II (eds. Marc Pruyn, Curry Malott, Luis Huerta-Charles), page 62:
Bannon brought to the White House a ghoulishly cultic and gangrenous Gemeinschaft, and, given his white nationalism, it would be difficult to fault anyone for harbouring lurking suspicions that he set up a Lebensborn clinic somewhere in the bowels of the White House, a place where Trump's new master race can begin their breeding rituals on behalf of the biotruth of the new white ethnostate: whiteness is the closest you can get to godliness.

2018, Hannah Robert, "Truth or ‘collateral damage’?: Legal parentage, bio-genetic parentage and children’s perspectives", thesis submitted to The University of Melbourne, page 41:
Biotruth rhetoric relies on simplistic and outdated notions of genetic parentage and identity, which, on examination, owe more to narratives about human reproduction as a gendered exchange of (women’s) reproductive services in return for (men’s) material support than they do to science. Despite the language of biology and naturalness, Biotruth rhetoric combines Naturalist norms about family structure and gender roles with a Rationalist emphasis on upholding men’s intentions and choices regarding their role as fathers.
2019, Laura Griffin & Linda Roland Danil, "Law’s Changing Bodies: Contemporary and Historical Perspectives on Law and Embodiment", Australian Feminist Law Journal, Volume 45, Issue 1 (2019):
Courts therefore employ a rhetoric of what Robert calls ‘biotruth’ – that a child’s ‘true’ legal parentage is revealed by their genetic heredity.

2021, Rachel R. Chapman, "Therapeutic Borderlands: Austerity, Maternal HIV Treatment, and the Elusive End of AIDS in Mozambique", Medical Anthropology Quarterly: International Journal for the Analysis of Health, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2021:
Anecdotes that false positives can, or have occurred, or evidence from their own previous experience, held out hope for many women that their positive result was an error. Someone else’s false positive could be borrowed, allowing women to dismiss, deny, and/or never return at all to face their seropositivity as a biotruth.
