In 2015, Rachel Dolezal, a white chapter president of NAACP, was vilified for identifying as Black. Some men choose to identify as women, and some women choose to identify as men. You will be vilified if you deny that they literally are what they identify as.
Discuss.
What's funny is that he isn't even saying that he is denying that transwomen are women, he's merely pointing out that taking that position will have you vilified, which is obviously true.
I find this whole thing funny because he was such a darling to my lefty professors back in undergrad.
One of my lefty acquaintances loved the guy but then abandoned him due to Elevatorgate. Which I always thought funny because he was one of those "there are no sacred cows" people back in the day.
Hell I liked him back in the day myself, but eventually I moved out of my "angry atheist" phase and moved on from him. Now I see all these "New Atheists" doing the exact same thing they were doing 15 years ago it's just kinda sad.
"Did you know the Bible has contradictions?"
"Yes, you've mentioned that the past 20 years or so. Now do Progressivism"
I wonder if Dawkins is stuck in the "fedora wearing atheist" phase while the rest of his contemporaries moved onto intersectional IdPol, and now his old friends have turned on him for not believing in the current incarnation of the SJW faith.
Dawkins is an old man stuck in his ways. Happens to all of us eventually. Though that doesn't mean it's not funny when someone who made a career of mocking other old men for being stuck in their ways is himself mocked for being stuck in his ways now that he's an old man.
So this is the tweet that got him cancelled:

Ditto. Throughout the late 90s and the mid 00s, I was all aboard the "evangelical atheist" train (which meant being an insufferable, arrogant cock).
Don't use their terms, dude. Just say transvestite.
Tranny or he-she is also acceptable.
I haven't heard that one in ages! Thanks for the reminder.
