Richard Dawkins lied about the Algerian boxer, then lied about Facebook censoring him
The Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on Aug 11, 2024

Richard Dawkins, known for his influential writings on atheism and evolution, recently sparked controversy with comments on Twitter regarding transgender athletes in the Olympics. Dawkins claimed that two women competing in boxing at the Olympics were "men masquerading as women," implying they were not eligible to compete against "real women." This assertion was swiftly debunked as false, as one of the athletes, Iman Khif from Algeria, is not transgender but a cisgender woman who has identified as such throughout her career.
Dawkins further exacerbated the situation by incorrectly alleging that Facebook had deleted his page in response to his comments on Twitter, which he later retracted after clarifying that his page had been temporarily suspended due to security concerns unrelated to his posts. This series of events has been criticized for reflecting a pattern of Dawkins making inflammatory statements without factual basis, drawing comparisons to "old man yells at clouds" behavior.
The story underscores broader issues of accountability and the spread of misinformation by high-profile figures. Media coverage of Dawkins' remarks has amplified their impact, contributing to public confusion and reinforcing biases against transgender individuals in sports. Critics argue that such incidents highlight the media's role in responsibly reporting news versus sensationalizing controversy for clicks, advocating for a return to factual reporting over sensationalism.
The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.34.1 featuring Cynthia, Phil the Skeptic Atheist, Rob (Robert Croy) and Phoebe Rose
