Ah shit. I'm out of the loop. What did Dawkins do?

In a podcast with Helen Joyce, author of the book Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, Dawkins said that "sex really is binary" and argued that children are becoming transgender under pressure from their teachers and peers.[55]

This is the culmination of a long, slow cooking that's been going on for years in his mind.

Wow. What an incredible let down. He really has abandoned science. Any biologist worth their salt understands that biology is never binary. He fucking knows better and chooses to present it as black and white while wilfully ignoring the massive spectrum in between.

I really expected more humanity from him.
