Anony Mous:

Thus far it has ruined:

That’s an exaggeration. Actually, there’s just been a notable instance in each of those sports.

But even in the case of world records, if the rules are fixed up, then those records would be disqualified. so it’s hardly the case that it’s been permanently ruined.

Again, it takes 1 person to permanently ruin the chances of any female to ever attain prominence in the sport.

Unless you’re suggesting that a person can only be prominent in a sport if they hold the world record, that statement is clearly false.

Diogenesister:

no one mentions the simple test for XX or XY chromosomes in order to determine who may compete. Does anyone know why that is?

Chromosome testing was used for the Olympics between 1968 and 1999 but discontinued due to occasional anomalies (though I am not personally convinced that the anomalies would be so frequent to rule it out as the primary method of determination).

He's famous for removing comments

It’s his channel. If the alternative is pointless tangential arguments dominating discussion of a video, it’s probably for the best.

Yes, that would seem to be the most straightforward method of determination for competitive sports. I’m not sure that there are so many trans athletes that it is quite the catastrophe for women’s sport that has been suggested, but there have been some very obvious examples of unfair advantage.

I’m yet to hear of a case of a trans man desperately trying to complete in men’s sports.

Who are you arguing with? You seem to just be ranting at this point. Has anyone in this thread even suggested that trans women are biological women? No one said it here. Evans didn’t say it in his rebuttal. Are you just venting here because you purportedly can’t comment on Evans’ channel? You’re literally complaining over a couple of seconds out of a 4 hour video.

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’. 🙄🤦‍♂️

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.
