“Regrettably, Richard Dawkins has over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups”

Biologist author Richard Dawkins has been stripped of an honour awarded to him by The American Humanist Association in 1996, following tweets that he says merely called for a discussion on transgender issues.
The AHA issued a statement that claims “Regrettably, Richard Dawkins has over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups, an approach antithetical to humanist values.”
“Consequently, the AHA Board has concluded that Richard Dawkins is no longer deserving of being honored by the AHA, and has voted to withdraw, effective immediately, the 1996 Humanist of the Year award,” the organisation added.
Today the American Humanist Association Board voted to withdraw, effective immediately, the 1996 Humanist of the Year award it bestowed on Richard Dawkins.

Leaving aside the fact that the honour was awarded TWENTY FIVE years ago, the AHA has not actually provided any specific instances where Dawkins made statements that could be viewed as intentionally demeaning to trans people.
He has previously tweeted regarding transgenderism from a biological science standpoint, which he argues is necessarily in direct opposition to the modern phenomenon of ‘wokeism’:
Is trans woman a woman? Purely semantic. If you define by chromosomes, no. If by self-identification, yes. I call her "she" out of courtesy.
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) October 26, 2015
Yes, I know it’s behind a paywall but it’s worth it. Superb article by Trevor Phillips on the oppressive nonsense that can flow from aggressive “wokeism”, e.g. demanding that employees should sign a statement that “trans women are women”.https://t.co/EYp3EPElBg

Most recently, Dawkins compared people identifying as a different gender to their biological gender to Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who identifies as black, and complained that if you ‘deny’ their identity you will be vilified:
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.
The way Dawkins whacked ‘discuss’ on the end of the tweet in an effort to suggest it is not his opinion, but rather just a topic of debate, riled those who disagree:
I've had low expectations for you, for quite some time. As I believe I've made clear. Even so this is disappointing. You've worked hard to be the spokesperson for causes I hold dear; if you can't perceive an accompanying obligation to be more decent than this—step back. Way back.

Why not read absolutely anything that's been written about this and understand it. Absolutely pathetic that you're going down the Gender Critical conspiracy theory hole after reading one stupid book. This is like a teenager level argument about trans people

Cool. Can we stop pretending that Richard is "just asking questions" now?
— Eli Bosnick (@elibosnick) April 11, 2021
Or does he need to just start tweeting slurs before we acknowledge that he was always an overly hyped up science communicator writing readable books about other people's work? https://t.co/EHkxGHTUcK
For later, when people ask why I'm more than completely done with Dawkins' repeated obtuse transphobic crap.
— Matt Dillahunty (@Matt_Dillahunty) April 10, 2021
It's long past time he could have been educated out of this crap. https://t.co/BkcrIdD1LI
So it's not even fucking subtle anymore. Cool. Cool cool cool. https://t.co/Cav56kflTP

Dawkins issued a follow up tweet, claiming that it was not his intent to “ally in any way with Republican bigots” in America:
I do not intend to disparage trans people. I see that my academic “Discuss” question has been misconstrued as such and I deplore this. It was also not my intent to ally in any way with Republican bigots in US now exploiting this issue .
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) April 12, 2021
It appears that these latest tweets were the straw that broke the camel’s back for the American Humanist Association, prompting it to sever all ties with Dawkins.
Remarkable really, given that Dawkins has sent out far more controversial tweets in the past, such as that time he suggested eugenics, the practice of selective breeding supported by the Nazis, would work perfectly well if applied to humans, because it works on animals.
It’s one thing to deplore eugenics on ideological, political, moral grounds. It’s quite another to conclude that it wouldn’t work in practice. Of course it would. It works for cows, horses, pigs, dogs & roses. Why on earth wouldn’t it work for humans? Facts ignore ideology.
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) February 16, 2020
Or the time that he tweeted about Winchester Cathedral’s bells being “nicer” than the “aggressive” Muslim call to prayer:
Listening to the lovely bells of Winchester, one of our great mediaeval cathedrals. So much nicer than the aggressive-sounding “Allahu Akhbar.” Or is that just my cultural upbringing? pic.twitter.com/TpCkq9EGpw
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) July 16, 2018
Some supported Dawkins’ cancellation, while others labelled it another successful attack on science by the woke mob:
The American Humanist Association is using the guise of secularism to enact religious zealotry; offering Dawkins up as a sacrifice to appease their woke gods.
— Many Bad Opinions (@OneBadOpinion) April 20, 2021
They have quite explicitly placed their political orthodoxy above science, above rational discussion, above reason. The feelings of approved minority groups trump that.
— Mar Vickers (@mar_vickers) April 20, 2021
Fair enough, AHA, take that position. It's your party. But it's not humanist in any way. It's pseudoreligious
I’m a humanist, and not a fan of, Dawkins, but if I were a member of @americnhumanist association, this action would lead me to terminate my membership and withdraw financial support. Enough of this nonsense.
— M Stone (@M_Stone969) April 20, 2021
Jesus. Disavowed over a tweet. I read the tweet. It was reasonable. These people are not. They have lost their minds.#richarddawkins #humanismhttps://t.co/ehcYW94zdG
— O.T. Ford (@ot_ford) April 20, 2021
This is a very bad call. Many well-intentioned people believe transracialism should be more accepted. That he broached the issue doesn't mean he thinks trans people are fraudulent.

Rand Paul: Elon Musk Will Go Down As A Historic Champion For Free Speech
“Somewhere along the way something happened and people began to think that only certain forms of speech were acceptable.”
Published

Senator Rand Paul praised Elon Musk Wednesday for standing up for free speech, predicting that the Twitter owner will be recorded as a key figure in history in the fight against censorship.
Referring to Musk’s compelling take down of a CNBC hack earlier this week, Paul noted “Thank God for someone who can still speak their mind and won’t take some guff off a journalist who tells him he can’t speak his mind.”
“Somewhere along the way something happened and people began to think that only certain forms of speech were acceptable,” The Senator urged.
“Then along came Elon Musk,” Paul continued, adding “The country, the Bill of Rights frankly, all of us, are going to be very thankful that a guy with a lot of money bought a social media entity and allowed us to see the government colluding to limit speech.”
“People need to get this right. Private companies can decide what they want to air, newspapers can, television shows can. But what we cannot allow to happen is the government to collude with private business and use them basically as their extension and their arm of censor,” Paul emphasised.
He added that “Elon Musk exposed this only because he had 44 billion dollars to buy a company and expose their inner workings off collusion with government.”

Crowder Declares “WAR” On YouTube For Removing Alex Jones Segments
“We will not pacify, we will not kowtow, and we will not stop. Not now. Not ever.”

Conservative host Stephen Crowder has vowed “This means WAR,” after YouTube removed several of his videos, including clips of Infowars founder Alex Jones guest hosting his show.
Crowder tweeted out screenshots of his inbox and notifications from YouTube that his content has been purged for “violating community guidelines.”
Crowder came out punching, declaring that “I don’t give a shit that we’re ONE STRIKE AWAY from being banned permanently,” and saying he will never stop whether YouTube likes it or not.
Fuck you @YouTube.
— Steven Crowder (@scrowder) May 17, 2023
I don’t give a shit that we’re ONE STRIKE AWAY from being BANNED PERMANENTLY from the platform. We will not pacify, we will not kowtow, and we will not stop. Not now. Not ever. We say when it's over. #MugClub says when it's over. Not some patsy in Silicon… pic.twitter.com/BzNJr3uzgS
Despite having close to SIX MILLION subscribers on YouTube, Crowder made the cardinal sin of providing a platform to Alex Jones, whom YouTube censored, banned and completely erased from the platform several years ago, paving the way for hundreds more after him to be silenced.
Crowder has also recently partnered up with Rumble, a direct competitor to YouTube, and one which refuses to censor legitimate content.
This is what excites me about my partnership with Rumble… pic.twitter.com/fqIlLm4Ls8
— Steven Crowder (@scrowder) May 16, 2023
YouTube long ago cemented its place as the establishment owned and run platform where only content approved and authorised by the ‘powers that be’ is allowed to be seen by the masses, and that continues to intensify.
Watch the clips that YouTube banned below, and share the entire show via Rumble, a video hosting platform that still believes in free speech.
