Jerry Coyne, Steven Pinker, and Richard Dawkins are big mad that FFRF removed an anti-trans article from their website

    Yours is the argument for never ending argument, leaving trans people’s existence and rights “up for debate” throughout their entire lives and until the end of time.

    Allowing open, eternal debate over people’s lives and rights is morally the same as continuing the ‘debate’ over whether blacks are more or less than 3/5 human.

      What is the alternative? Say a matter once proclaimed settled by someone can never be addressed again by anyone?

        Wingnuts and haters should not be invited to write for the FFRF website. Does that seem unreasonable to you?

          Sure, but they were invited. Once the article was published, removing it was the wrong move IMO.
