There&#8217;s no question about it. You&#8217;re either male or female,\u200c and it&#8217;s \u200babsolutely clear.&#8221; He supported his statement by highlighting biological factors such \u200das gamete \u200csize and chromosomes.<\/p>\n<p>Curious about the \u2062underlying \u200dreasons for this\u2064 phenomenon, Dawkins turned to guest journalist Helen Joyce\u200d for \u2062her insights. Joyce shared her experience of \u200bwriting about the issue and quickly \u2063realizing that\u200b it was treated differently from other topics.<\/p>\n<p>She \u2062explained, &#8220;When\u2063 I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/he-cant-be-put-in-a-box-and-he-cant-be-controlled-tulsi-gabbard-knows-why-everyone-wants-to-silence-joe-rogan\/\" title=\"\u2018He Can\u2019t Be Put In A Box And He Can\u2019t Be Controlled\u2019: Tulsi Gabbard Knows Why Everyone Wants To Silence Joe Rogan\">asked obvious questions<\/a> like, &#8216;Won&#8217;t allowing people to self-identify their sex lead to the destruction of women&#8217;s sports or the placement\u2063 of rapists in women&#8217;s\u2063 jails?&#8217; I was met with accusations of bigotry and \u2062transphobia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joyce emphasized that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/richard-dawkins-slams-transgender-ideology-as-distinctly-weird-and-an-odd-distortion-of-reality\/\" title=\"Richard Dawkins criticizes transgender ideology as 'strange' and a 'distorted view of reality'.\">transgender\u200c movement primarily revolves<\/a> around language rather than\u200b a physical transformation. She \u2064acknowledged that while some\u2063 individuals undergo surgeries or take medication, these actions do\u2062 not alter \u2063their \u200dbiological \u2063sex.<\/p>\n<h3>Richard Dawkins Stands Against Bullying and Nonsense<\/h3>\n<p>Dawkins\u2064 has been a \u200cvocal critic\u200b of attempts\u200b by \u200dLGBT activists\u200b to coerce acceptance\u200c of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-interviews-group-of-influential-lifelong-democrat-moms-who-love-daddy-desantis\/\" title=\"CNN interviews a group of influential lifelong Democrat moms who support Governor DeSantis.\">radical transgender ideologies<\/a>. His stance \u200chas even cost him an award due to his remarks.<\/p>\n<p>He condemned the bullying tactics \u2062employed by \u2064these activists, citing the cases of JK \u200dRowling and Kathleen Stock as examples. Dawkins expressed his dismay\u200c that a small minority \u2062has managed to dominate the discourse and spread what he considers baseless claims.<\/p>\n<p>It is evident \u2063that Dawkins remains\u200d steadfast in his belief \u200bthat\u200b there are only two sexes, firmly rooted in his\u200d background as a biologist.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sex is clearly binary, declaring oneself to be otherwise\u2063 is a distortion of\u200b reality. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gender?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gender<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Science?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Science<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PoetryOfReality?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PoetryOfReality<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PHap1TQlaA\">pic.twitter.com\/PHap1TQlaA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichardDawkins\/status\/1686119970034339840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July \u200b31, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Richard \u200cDawkins says JK Rowling and\u2064 Kathleen Stock have\u200b been &#8220;bullied&#8221; while standing up for themselves over trans issues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As\u200c a biologist, there are two sexes and that&#8217;s \u2064all there \u2062is to it.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichardDawkins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RichardDawkins<\/a> |\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/piersmorgan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@piersmorgan<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jk_rowling?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jk_rowling<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Docstockk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Docstockk<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jAV1WoGoPj\">pic.twitter.com\/jAV1WoGoPj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PiersUncensored\/status\/1637914407106650115?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 20, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned atheist Richard Dawkins criticized transgender ideology, deeming it &#8220;distinctly weird&#8221; and a &#8220;distortion of reality.&#8221; Speaking on his podcast with journalist Helen Joyce, Dawkins asserted that sex is binary without any doubt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":134,"featured_media":1987412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1987411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1987411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/134"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1987411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1987411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1987412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1987411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1987411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1987411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
