For people who have been in online atheist spaces as long as I have, it's still wild to see the Amazing Atheist rip Dawkins apart for his anti-trans bigotry. youtu.be/ZVdTVygFp7c?si…
@hemantmehta No real atheist believes in gender ideology. You can't scoff at the idea of deities existing but then think "seems legit" about irrational, scientifically impossible hokum like gendered souls, being born in the wrong body and identifying as something makes you the thing. Come on!
@BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta No real thinker calls it “gender ideology”. It’s not an ideology to recognize that society uses gender.
@NotTeak @hemantmehta Believing that people can be born in the wrong body and change sex and that gender is real and demanding that society and culture change to pretend we all believe this shite, not caring about the ramifications for women and kids, etc etc, is very much an ideology.
@BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta You have no idea what you’re talking about lol I don’t think people are “born in the wrong body”. I don’t think people can change genotype, although you can change phenotype. Gender objectively exists in the world, this is a basic premise of the patriarchy.
@NotTeak @hemantmehta No, gender is the social construct tool of patriarchy used to naturalise and legitimise its misogynist oppression of women. All belief in gender as truth is misogyny. I have written extensively about this stuff, it's my post grad specialism. Don't embarrass yourself here, kid.
@BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta “No, gender is the social construct tool of patriarchy used to naturalise and legitimise its misogynist oppression of women.” So you agree it exists in society, thanks.
@NotTeak @BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta Knowing that religion exists doesn't oblige one to become obedient to it.
@sunilwilliams @BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta Didn’t say otherwise. Why all these stupid assumptions?
@NotTeak @BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta Let us know when you've worked that one out.
@sunilwilliams @NotTeak @BradfemlyWalsh @hemantmehta He’s not going to.
