what happened to richard dawkins

According to search results, Richard Dawkins, a biologist, humanist, and author, has been criticized for his comments on transgender people. The American Humanist Association (AHA) withdrew its humanist of the year award from Dawkins, which he received in 1996, for his "demeaning" comments about marginalized groups, including trans people, using "the guise of scientific discourse". The AHA referred to a tweet sent by Dawkins in which he compared trans people to Rachel Dolezal, a civil rights activist who posed as a black woman for years. The AHA criticized Dawkins for reinforcing harmful narratives and downplaying or denying trans identities. Despite his contributions to science communication, Dawkins has been accused of using his platform to spread anti-transgender rhetoric.
