Comedian Bill Maher and Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson engaged in a tense clash over the issue of transgender athletes in sports.
As part of a wide-ranging discussion about the many reasons why the Democrats lost the 2024 election, Mahher and Tyson delved into the topic of the recent resignation of Laura Helmuth, the former chief editor of Scientific American magazine, who stepped down from her post after the revelation of deleted social media posts in which she referred to Trump voters as the “meanest, dumbest, most bigoted” people.
Helmuth chalked the posts up to “shock and confusion” following the election.
Helmuth’s explanations and the magazine’s coverage of scientific issues didn’t impress Maher, specifically the Scientific American’s coverage of the issue of transgender athletes. Maher took specific exception to an article where the magazine attributed resistance to allowing trans athletes to compete in women’s sports to “gender biases.”
Maher read from the specific article he referenced....

Science says: XY XX
Well, there is also XXY, XXX, X- and a few others.
But that is NOT what these people are! Those with true malformed sex genes, or with a condition that may as well be one (e.g. androgen insensitivity syndrome) have just been quietly living their lives and making the best of their condition. Most of them did not volunteer to be the "i" in LGBTQIA.

Tyson has rapidly become as annoying as Simon Biles, Taylor Swift and Ariana Not Grande.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an enigma.
His aggressive response to truth and science makes one wonder if he is a DEI scientist.
Nothing meritorious about Neil...just his racial identity.
