You’re being weird. I thought you hadn’t read the article when you asked “Why did you invoke gender?”. They’re just talking about the same thing the article is.



Oh I am? Ok, sure. Did not realize there was an obligation to avoid “being weird” to your sensibilities.


That’s what the entire article is about. Trans people: “Please don’t be rude to me. This is how you can be nice” Dawkins: “My being rude to you isn’t the same as violence.” Trans people: “Ok… why would you feel the need to say that unless you wanted to be violent to us?” Dawkins: “You’re calling me violent! That’s policing my speech which is oppression!”
