Dawkins is a scientist, though, and, supposedly, a skeptic. Yet, here he is with his biases leading him by the nose. Fluid gender identity has always been a thing with plenty of documented evidence across many cultures going back, at least, hundreds of years if not thousands.
Yeah, Dawkins is refusing to accept scientific knowledge because it contradicts his personal opinions.
