Science Has Finally Come For Transgenderism

 American Spectator 

"While the recent opposition of atheist scientists to transgenderism is welcome, their championing a Godless world enabled the insanity."

British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has declared that “trans women are men,” and that transgender ideology is part of a movement to undermine biological truth.

"At the launch of his new book, The War on Science, leading atheist and emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, Dawkins decried the infiltration of postmodernism and transgenderism into the halls of academia.

" 'Both politics and personal feelings don’t impinge scientific truths and that needs to be clearly understood. I feel very strongly about the subversion of scientific truth,” he told The Telegraph.

" 'I think part of what’s happened is the move of academia towards postmodernism, which is pernicious, and probably does account for the current vogue for the nonsense lie that sex is a spectrum.”

"And Dawkins is not alone in his “Eureka” moment. Late last year, three of the world’s most prominent atheists abruptly resigned their honorary board positions with the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an American non-profit organization founded in 1978 to advocate for atheists and agnostics, championing “separation of church and state.” Dawkins was among those stepping down along with evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne and Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker — all citing the ideological capture of the organization by the transgender movement.

"Jerry Coyne, a professor emeritus with the University of Chicago, was first. On December 26th, Coyne responded to a column by Kat Grant titled “What is a Woman?” in which Grant concluded, with no small degree of circular reasoning: “A woman is whoever she says she is.” In a response titled “Biology is not bigotry” on FRF’s Freethought Now!, Coyne asserted that contrary to Grant’s claims, “the biological definition of ‘woman’ [is] based on gamete type.”

"Trans activists “came” for FFRF with a vengeance, and Coyne’s column was pulled the following day, accompanied by what could only be called a craven an apology titled “Freedom From Religion Foundation supports LGBTQIA-plus rights.” . . . 

Coyne, Pinker, and Dawkins are to be commended (that may be too affirming) for their defense of biology against the transgender assault on scientific truth. But let’s be clear, this trio have long championed a post-Christian society that has made the transgender movement not just possible, but perhaps even inevitable. Before we become too sanguine over the “conscience” of these “defenders of truth,” we should recognize that this atheist set and their “ethics” are every bit as unpalatable as those they now assail.
