Looking at the comments on this post shows atheists can be every bit as transphobic as religious conservatives.... Dawkins has contributed much, but this crap had to be called out.

I have repeatedly argued for trans rights, for use of preferred pronouns, and greater acceptance and assistance in transition. And I consider this organization:s move to still be terrifying and abhorrent.
I'm curious what the board members at the time he was granted the award think of this move. Is it Dawkins that has changed... or is it the AHA?
