Dr. Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s most renowned evolutionary biologists, has debunked the Left’s “weird” beliefs about gender ideology and declared that transgender people are mentally unwell.
During a recent episode of his podcast, “The Poetry of Reality,” Dawkins slammed the “distinctly weird” claims that “transgender” people can change their gender.
Dawkins argues that it’s an “odd distortion of reality” to believe there are more than two sexes.

During his discussion with journalist Helen Joyce, Dawkins stated that “Sex really is binary.”
“There’s no question about it.”
“You’re either male or female,” Dawkins added.
“And it’s absolutely clear.”
“You can do it on gamete size; you can do it on chromosomes.”
“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 responded by noting how politicized the topic has become.
She pointed to the fact that even asking basic questions is often labelled as “hate speech” by the mainstream media and fact checkers.
“[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,’” she said.
Joyce agreed with Dawkins’ assessment, arguing men identifying as women — and vice-versa — is in-name-only and not rooted in science or 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.”

Slaynews.com reports: “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling has made similar comments in the past.
In the summer of 2020, Rowling wrote that it “Isn’t hate speech to speak the truth.”
She was responding after being attacked for stating scientific facts about biology and the reality that there are only two sexes: male and female.
“[E]rasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives,” she wrote.
The famed author has also acknowledged the intellectual contradictions that undergird transgender thought.
She specifically wonders how the following concepts can both be true according to leftist ideology:
- There is no sex and gender binary.
- Someone can be born into the wrong one of two sexes.
“The contradictions drive me crazy,” Rowling said in December.
“We’re simultaneously told gender is innate and inborn, and that it’s a choice, a performance.
“All of these things cannot be true.
“If it’s a choice, then, clearly, it’s not innate.”
In the spring of this year, Dawkins spoke out in support of Rowling.
“[W]e’ve seen the way J.K. Rowling has been bullied,” Dawkins told Piers Morgan.
“[She] stood up to it, but it’s very upsetting that this tiny minority of people has managed to capture the discourse and to really talk errant nonsense.”
WATCH:
True but not true. Nothing is what it seems. Male or female feelings are not the same as genitals. Genitals are not what make someone feel male or female which by OBSERVATION is clear to anyone with an open mind. There are only good or evil isn’t a site either. There’s shades of grey. Emotions aren’t really understood but DENIAL isn’t the answer.
Isn’t absolute either I typed.
Till puberty set’s in there is zero neurological difference between a boy or a girl. That’s just neurological fact, therefore a boy or girl should not even think they are in the wrong bodies. With puberty there should come the first hormonoal difference in neurological thinking. Till puberty starts it’s all cultural, they are capable of the same things till then no matter boy or girl. But, we have hormones interfere much earlier from phthalates and residue of hormones of dairy productions and pharmaceuticals in drinking water plastics, growth hormones from meat industry all those things interfering with the natural development of children, artificially before they should hormones and it gives them a mix they shouldn’t even have. The infertility rates going up is no accident those things are actually their plan to depopulate. Honestly the gender swap is just a farce. Suicide rates afterwards will explode. It’s not worth it.
The only cases justified is very rare cases of hermaphrodite or micro penis there it’s reasonable not to let the person live as a freak, and tell everyone they had a horse riding accident and are infertile then the truth. But the rest of them should stay illegal till after puberty. For sure such life altering decision should not be rushed pushed on.
We aren’t talking neurology – sex is determined by your chromosomes and determined while still in the womb. Period. Also, of course girls and boys think differently – that’s why little boys love to go outside and look for toads, lizards, spiders, etc. and little girls play with dolls. It is known that atrazine in the water is messing with hormones and is probably confusing the sexual identity of these people but their chromosomes remain the same and don’t change; therefore, one cannot change their sex. They can get sexual features of the opposite sex through surgery but that’s all.
