Lawrence Krauss, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker and other anti-trans influencers personally benefited from a right-wing academic social group backed by infamous human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, sometimes meeting at his island.

      Dawkins has been openly racist and islamophobic (not simply “outspoken atheist”, but explicitly islamophobic) for a very long time now. Being transphobic is part of that package :\

        Funny how bigots are rarely just bigoted about one thing, isn’t it?

      Dawkins has been more of a liability than anything lately anyway. I’m not surprised. He’s a self professed “cultural Christian” which is to me the worst of all worlds.

      It is essentially the position that “I’m a bigot even though no sky daddy is telling me to be.

      Now if Hitch were there…I would be bereft.
