'Sex Really Is Binary': Richard Dawkins Calls Out Transgender Ideology as 'Distinctly Weird'

Tré Goins-Phillips : Aug 2, 2023  Faithwire.com

"[J]ust asking very obvious questions like, 'Don't you think that if we allow people to self-identify their sex this will lead to, for example, destroying women's sports or putting rapists in women's jails?' People would turn this back on me and say, 'You think that trans people are predators? You're a bigot.'" -journalist Helen Joyce

BCN Editor's Note: While Richard Dawkins and Helen Joyce do not come at this important discussion from a Christian point of view, this episode of "The Poetry of Reality" is extremely interesting and informative regarding the current wave of transgender ideology. Helen Joyce does not hold back in her warnings of how the trans culture is hurting women, and society at large. I encourage listening to this podcast at the link provided.

[Faithwire.com] When it comes to transgender thought, even famed atheist Richard Dawkins has questions. (Screengrab image: Richard Dawkins)

The evolutionary biologist said on a recent episode of his podcast, "The Poetry of Reality," that it's "distinctly weird" and an "odd distortion of reality" to believe there are more than two sexes.

"Sex really is binary," Dawkins said during his conversation with journalist Helen Joyce. "There's no question about it. You're either male or female. And it's absolutely clear."

"You can do it on gamete size; you can do it on chromosomes," he continued. "To me, as a biologist, [it's] distinctly weird. People can simply declare, 'I am a woman, though I have a penis.' Helen, what do you think lies behind this odd distortion of reality?"

Joyce, for her part, responded by noting how protected the topic of transgenderism has become—pointing to the fact that asking basic questions is often dismissed as hate speech.

Joyce agreed with Dawkins' assessment, arguing men identifying as women—and vice-versa—is in-name-only and not in any way rooted in science or biological reality.

"There isn't a sense in which a man can become a woman, except linguistically," she said. "I guess, OK, he can have operations. Most trans people don't have any operations, don't take any medicine, but that doesn't change your sex"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
