Sex is clearly binary, declaring oneself to be otherwise is a distortion of reality. #Gender #Science #PoetryOfReality

"The God of the Old Testament is the most unpleasant character in all fiction". The opening words of Chapter 2 of The God Delusion. See also Dan Barker's book with that title, which justifies it fully, giving chapter and verse.

My team sent me the following clips of Dr Jordan B Peterson He says I’m a Christian, although I don’t know it. Well, I certainly don’t know it. He also says I’m “the last standing avatar of the rationalist spirit.” I’ll take that! Also, I'm still waiting for the in-person conversation Peterson keeps talking about…

Here is my conversation with Helen Joyce on 'The Poetry of Reality', tackling the influence of gender ideology on society, the ideological lens, and its implications for scientific facts. #PoetryOfReality #GenderIdeology #Science

I don't deny that trans people exist. I object to the statement that a trans woman is a woman. This is a distortion of language and science.

I’m in America at the start of a five-week tour of America promoting this book, The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie, which is being published on the 17th of September in America. I’m having a good time. I’m in Texas—the first stop was Dallas, and the second stop is here in Austin. I’ve enjoyed both. I’ve especially enjoyed the book signings, where a large number of people have thanked me for changing their lives, which is a wonderful thing to be told. Many have also told me I’ve inspired them to take up a career in biology, to do a doctorate in biology, for example. So I have been very pleased about that, and I’m enjoying myself in America very much. I’m also looking forward to getting back to England, where I am continuing the tour there.

Why do so many of us go along with a distortion of language so perverse that it comes perilously close to '2 + 2 = 5'? We know the answer: cowardice. The full episode is here:

.Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a hero, a staunch fighter against the violent intolerance and bossy control freakery of Islamism. She is also a personal friend of whom I am very fond. When she recently announced her conversion to Christianity, I assumed that she must be no more than a political Christian, regarding Christianity as a bulwark against Islam. I have some sympathy with the view that if you must have a religion at all, Christianity is hugely better than the leading alternative. In Hilaire Belloc’s words, “Always keep a-hold of Nurse for fear of finding something worse.” I agreed to have a public conversation with her in New York, in which I was all prepared to emphasize the distinction between a political Christian and a true believing Christian, who actually thinks Jesus was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. I think the distinction is a really important one. I don’t think a political Christian is a real Christian, any more than the kind of cultural Christian I am myself. When we met on the stage at the Dissident Dialogues meeting in New York, I was wrongfooted when Ayaan began with a personal statement which seemed to suggest that she really is a believing Christian, not just a political Christian. Well, her form of words was “I choose to believe.” I’m not sure what to make of that. Anyways, see what you think; here is the recording of our New York meeting.
