Science booster Neil deGrasse Tyson is showing that his left-wing politics and fealty to the radical transgender agenda are far more important to him than his devotion to actual science.<\/p>\n
Since the pandemic, liberals have become fond of crying, \u201cFollow the science\u201d \u2014 but Tyson can be heard on video making unscientific claims about the differences between men and women, particularly in sports.<\/p>\n
Science writer and podcaster Michael Shermer<\/a> had a discussion with Tyson last year in which the astrophysicist indulged his inner leftist while going quite against actual science. Clips from their talk recently re-emerged on social media.<\/p>\n In one segment, the vaccine zealot<\/a> scoffed at the idea of separating male and female athletes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a little weird that we split people by male and female in this way. I\u2019m imagining a hundred years from now looking back and saying, \u2018Do you know back 100 years ago they split boys and girls and they couldn\u2019t compete?\u2019 And \u2026 that\u2019d just be kind of a little weird,\u201d Tyson said.<\/p>\n Shermer thought it was Tyson who had the weird idea in supporting transgenderism<\/a>, saying, \u201cThe differences are so massive on average. Again I\u2019ve seen the pictures of you as a college wrestler, but \u2026 the average woman wrestler is not going to be able to take down you when you were in your peak. Maybe the best female wrestler.\u201d<\/p>\n Tyson went on the attack, calling Shermer an \u201cold man on the porch in a rocking chair\u201d for his supposedly backward thinking.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m telling you, you are criticizing something that is in need of modification,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m criticizing it in a way to open it to a rejuvenated understanding of how humans will compete with other humans,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cRealize that world-class athletes are already genetically different from us, OK?<\/p>\n \u201cThe basketball players are all taller. \u2026 You\u2019re not saying, \u2018Wait a minute, you can\u2019t be short and play \u2026 that\u2019s not fair to the short people if you have to be genetically tall to play this.\u2019 I don\u2019t hear you saying that.<\/p>\n \u201cBut that\u2019s kind of what you\u2019re saying now, but now the sex is the factor here rather than what height you\u2019re born into.\u201d<\/p>\n Tyson insisted we shouldn\u2019t get \u201cto a point that doesn\u2019t match who and what we are and how we express ourselves as a species.\u201d<\/p>\n\n Other clips of Tyson making up his own \u201cscience\u201d<\/a> to suit his leftism have also re-emerged.<\/p>\n In one, for instance, he decried our brain\u2019s need to make \u201ccategories even if they\u2019re not inherently categorizable\u201d and called it a \u201cfailure of evolution,\u201d then claimed that gender is not categorizable.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a failure of the evolution of our brain wiring\u201d<\/p>\n Neil deGrasse Tyson defends the gender spectrum by comparing it to computer code. pic.twitter.com\/mxYcm741M9<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mythinformed (@MythinformedMKE) August 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n In yet another clip, Tyson claimed that gender is \u201con a spectrum\u201d and humans enhance themselves in accordance to what gender they feel like being.<\/p>\n \u201cSuppose no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80 percent female, 20 percent male. I\u2019m gonna put on makeup. \u2026 Tomorrow, I might feel 80 percent male. I\u2019ll remove the makeup and I\u2019ll wear a muscle shirt. Why do you care?! What businesses is it of yours to require that I fulfill your inability to think of gender on a spectrum?\u201d he exclaimed, confusing mental health issues with gender differences.<\/p>\n \u201cToday I feel 80% female, 20% male. I\u2019m going to put on makeup\u201d<\/p>\n Neil deGrasse Tyson defends the pseudoscience of Woke gender studies. pic.twitter.com\/4G8KxnTaEs<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mythinformed (@MythinformedMKE) July 31, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n Tyson, though, is on the wrong side of history with his running cover for the radical transgender agenda. After all, major sports organizations have recently begun pulling back from blanket acceptance of transgenderism.<\/p>\n For example, this year, the Union Cycliste Internationale officially banned<\/a> male athletes from competing as women. In 2022, International Rugby<\/a>, the Pro Disc Golf Association<\/a> and the International Swimming Federation<\/a> all moved to place limits on trans athletes.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, nearly half of American states have limited or banned male athletes seeking to compete against women or girls.<\/p>\n It seems likely that Tyson\u2019s pretzel logic about gender is the idea that in 100 years will be thought of as weird.<\/p>\n Detransitioners such as Chloe Cole<\/a> are victims of that kind of thinking. Their lives have been destroyed by radical transgenderism. Cole underwent dangerous medical procedures that will cause her pain and discomfort for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n This is the kind of harm and chaos that Neil deGrasse Tyson is promoting.<\/p>\n This article appeared originally on The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson Says It\u2019s \u2018Weird\u2019 to Differentiate Between Males and Females in Sports<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Science booster Neil deGrasse Tyson is showing that his left-wing politics and fealty to the radical transgender agenda<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
