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?
The root belief of bigotry is “there are groups of people that are inherently evil/lesser/worthless because of how they’re born”. Once you apply that to one group it’s very easy to apply it to others.
That’s why you gotta attack the root belief. It’s not enough to say “bigotry against this group is wrong!” We have to reject bigotry at it’s very core, if we don’t we leave fertile ground for it to regrow.
