Richard Dawkins recently published an attempt to echo the Gender Critical position on human sexes and lend it credence under biology. In this piece, he used the term "miscegenation" to indicate a mating behaviour, and it's very telling that he used it, because the term is flatly racist.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"Miscegenation" as a term in English was coined in the 19th century United States, to lend "scientific" credence to White Identity Extremist views that claimed that The White Race is superior etc etc etc.

The term is inescapably, inextricably White Identity Extremist.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Moreover, Dawkins - throughout the piece - uses weasel words to try to sell a Specified Definition Fallacy about s*x types in Homo sapiens.

Biology doesn't define s*x types in Homo sapiens. We have neither a Holotype nor Allotype - because …

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The immediate previous paradigm of evolutionary biology to our current paradigm set aside the establishment of Holotypes and Allotypes of Homo sapiens.

In ** 1945 **.

EXPLICITLY

Because "evolutionary biology" had been conscripted to bloody, hateful ends for the decades prior

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

So when Dawkins — who purports to represent the best interests of the fields of medicine, biology, science, etc

Goes OUT OF HIS WAY to avoid addressing WHY biology lacks a Holotype and Allotype of H. sapiens,

And incorporates the word "miscegenation" into his specious (pun intended) argument,

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

We can observe clearly the lineage his ideology descended from.

And the hoods and capes it wore
