Biology and Bigotry with Ed Buckner

My guest this week is Ed Buckner, a secular organizer, former president of American Atheists. Ed is the author of the book In Freedom We Trust: An Atheist Guide to Religious Liberty, as well as the Substack blog Letters to a Free Country, where he recently posted a piece responding to my article “Biology is not Ethics” about the conflict around FFRF and Jerry Coyne's piece "Biology is not Bigotry". We discuss Ed's objections to my accusing Coyne of arguing for bigotry and discrimination, his refusal to use "they" as a singlar pronoun, and a variety of other topics related to trans-activism in secular spaces.What is a Woman?: https://freethoughtnow.org/what-is-a-woman/Biology is not Bigotry reposted unedited at CFI's Free Inquiry magazine: https://secularhumanism.org/exclusive/biology-is-not-bigotry/Biology is not Ethics: https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/biology-is-not-ethics-a-responseFirst Person In-Trans-itive Tense?
