  i see posts that evans does not seem to like being removed.

  i guess he is not a lot different than the control cult he left.

  his rebuttal to the zoom assembly he said that dawkins made some silly comments about gender.

  LoveUniHateExams:

  Dawkins has commented that chromosomal gender remains fixed, which is true - it's also the most important part.

  No, it’s not the most important part. It’s not remotely relevant to the evolution of eyes or flight.
  

  Dawkins is free to do that, and other people are free to say that they believe trans women aren't women, and to use whatever pronouns they wish.

  Now you’re getting it. And some guy with a YouTube channel can manage his content and comments feed however he likes. Unless you’re suggesting that he violated YouTube terms of service, there’s really no valid objection.

  Omg you people are still yabbering on about trans issues. Evans referred to Dawkins in reference to his expertise as an evolutionary biologist in relation to evolution of flight and eyes, with a minor tangent about Dawkins comments about trans people. The horse is dead.

  No, try to pay attention. The context of the main point in Evans’ rebuttal is about Dawkins as an evolutionary biologist specifically addressing evolution of eyes and flight, for which his views expressed on Twitter about transsexuals and associated ‘controversy’ are indeed an irrelevant tangent. But nice try attempting to make it look like I meant that ‘gender is irrelevant to biology’. 🙄🤦‍♂️

  I wonder how long before The Watchtower and Awake! are only available at the ‘museum’. 🤣

  Dawkins has commented that chromosomal gender remains fixed, which is true, and is the cherry-picked part that conservatives latch onto in their opposition to “trannys” (as described earlier in this thread), but those people tend to ignore that Dawkins also said he would still refer to a person as their preferred gender ‘identity’ out of courtesy, which many of the right-wingers would refuse to do on ‘principle’. Very few of the people who express strong opinions about transsexuals are actually affected by them in any way, and as is usually the case, the positions of the ultra left and ultra right groups on the whole issue are emotive, noisy, and a bit dim.

  Evans briefly alluded to Dawkins’ comments to address the fact that it would be erroneous to dismiss Dawkins as an evolutionary biologists on the basis that he said something on Twitter that was poorly received.

  It’s really strange that people who already don’t like Evans are ‘shocked’ when Evans says something they disagree with, and stranger still that they’re still listening to him.

  You can call a position you disagree with ‘virtue signaling’ and call that thing ‘cowardice’ if you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that it really is just an opinion. Back in reality, Dawkins’ opinions about transsexuals (expressed on Twitter 🤦‍♂️), and Evans’ views thereof, are irrelevant tangents from Dawkins expertise as a biologist. But by all means keep yelling into the wind about how you don’t like Evans’ opinions about stuff.

  He follows what ever way the popular winds are blowing.

  Maybe, but if so, why do you care? You can have an opinion but he can’t?

  Likely anticipating irrelevant tangents in the comments, and probably therefore as a precursor for deleting any such comments. I would have simply not mentioned it myself. And also deleted any irrelevant comments.

  mickbobcat:

  It seems Evans wants to virtue signal to the masses and be in the clique instead of really talking about an issue.

  From the context of his actual statement, it seems as though he didn't want to go off on some ad hominem tangent about issues that are not related to Dawkin's expertise as a biologist.

  We are pleased to inform you that the Governing Body decided that one new issue of the public edition of The Watchtower and one new issue of Awake! will be produced for 2022. Additionally, it has been decided to reprint two issues of The Watchtower and two issues of Awake! from previous years.

  Already recycling previous issues and down to just one new issue of each magazine per year. And it's worded as if the rank-and-file should be grateful. 🤣
