Admittedly, I misremembered, Brian. Apologies for that. I was thinking of, or trying to paraphrase, what Dawkins told Piers Morgan, whom I also quoted in the OP.
Let me quote it first and then paraphrase it this time:
"Wokery"
Piers: They want to de-gender and neutralise language, but they're doing it from a completely false pretext that you can somehow pretend biology doesn't exist, particularly when it comes to someone's sex. A small group of people have been successful in reshaping swathes of the way society talks and is allowed to talk.
Richard: It's bullying. We've seen the way JK Rowling has been bullied, Kathleen stock has been bullied. They've stood up to it, but it's very upsetting the way this tiny minority of people has managed to capture the discourse to talk errant nonsense.
Piers: What's the answer?
Richard: Science. There are two sexes. You could talk about gender, if you wish and that's a subjective.
Piers: But when people say there are 100 genders?
Richard: I'm not interested in that. As as a biologist, there are two sexes and that's all there is to it."
So Dawkins said (1) JK Rowling and others have been bullied, by the Radical Left on this issue; (2) They've stood up to it (3) At least parts of the Trans Agenda are "errant nonsense", and (4) there are two sexes, (5) gender is subjective; as a biologist, he holds that there are 2 sexes, and that's all there is to it.
Even before we delve into this issue, why have those like Rowling received death threats just for speaking their mind: "Death threat against J. K. Rowling: Transgender author threatens to cut her throat". That was Gretcher Felker Martin. Gee, Cutting Throats, Death Threats. "tolerant", "loving" Left. Sorry, that's NOT tolerant nor loving, nor even truly liberal if by liberal we mean "Live and Let Live"; why, by that definition, we Conservatives are more Liberal than some professed Liberals themselves! especially those who support or are indifferent to death threats being issued to Conservatives, or I would even say more or less Liberal Feminists like Rowling professes to be, in the name of "love".
And then, you have other Loving Leftists putting women in jail, for allegedly "praying", in "her mind" (how do you even know that; mind-readers, are you?) near abortion clinics. Gee, more demonstrations, of that matchless love, kindness, and tolerance, from the lawless, liberal left. Christians love all our friends, whether they are abortionists, homosexuals, transsexuals or whatever; we just disagree with some of their decisions as being harmful for their own body and soul; leave the soul aside, since you don't believe in it. Some of these life-changing decisions, at least, should not be taken before the child comes to full maturity as an 18+year adult, that's all we're saying, got it? Is that allegedly so unreasonable now? Nope.
