that gender is little more than a social construct
During a recent podcast appearance, deGrasse Tyson altered between moments of rage and maniacal laughter. In short, he failed to cover himself in glory. For example, when asked by the hosts, Konstanin Kisin and Francis Foster, for his thoughts on trans women competing in women’s sports, and whether or not their inclusion created an “unfair playing field, both literally and metaphorically,” the astrophysicist provided a truly nonsensical answer. Instead of barring trans women from competing in sports, deGrasse Tyson, who enjoys harping on about the importance of rationality, said that we should “fix the playing field, damn it.
“You know something? The day you fix the playing field,” he added, “this conversation will look completely ridiculous.” When asked how, exactly, one would go about fixing the playing field, deGrasse Tyson started cackling like a lunatic before admitting that he couldn’t answer the question.
This wasn’t his first time at the trans-friendly rodeo, and chances are it won’t be his last. That’s because, over the past year or so, the sixty-four-year-old has made it his life’s mission to advance the idea that gender is little more than a social construct, something that was perhaps dreamt up by a few men in a basement many moons ago. “Apparently the XX/XY chromosomes are insufficient, because when we wake up in the morning we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our choice,” he recently blabbered. Gender exists on a spectrum, he insists — but so do things like sanity and patience, Dr. deGrasse Tyson.

I have always thought he was a fraud.
For the love of money...
Affirmative Action FRAUD!!!
And Pluto is a planet, jackass.
Hi podcast is pretty good but listening to his Global Warming, Horse Dewormer, and his apologies for Communism.
He’s a God hater.
He is a total fraud in my opinion.
Even the star hustler was far better.
Bill Nye is another sellout fraud, I have met him and he is angry and bitter about what he has become.
don’t forget about this luminary

Atheism is a hell of a drug.
Neil deGrace Tyson beclowning himself
Yes, Tyson is surrealistically nonsensical. If one were to take him seriously, the only way to "level the playing field" would be to put every athlete all by himself in a class of cone, and then award everyone first place.
Which is actually just about what the libs are doing anyhow with their participation trophy approach in youth sports.
But of course, not even Tyson would pursue his "logic" to its conclusion. He is drunk on trans and wants to rewrite the rules for every sporting competition to make sure that trans folk can compete wherever they want to ... which means then further rewriting the rules so that every woman can have a level playing field as well ... which takes us straight to everyone in a class of one and participation trophies all around.
I feel he has not really found his true identity. He tries to channel Feynman with eccentricities, then he tries to mimic Sagan with his Cosmos remake, etc. Never quite found his footing until Hollywood called and it just seems ingenious. I mean the whole "contrarian" thing seems like an act, just overly dramatic.
He's not even in the big leagues with Kaku, Penrose, etc.
“I always thought he was a fraud.”

Ditto. He is nothing more than a glorified Affirmative Action hire. I think he’s an idiot and the dribble he spews is non-sensicle in my opinion. But hey, he’s black so he gets a free pass, I guess.
He is just way to smart to come down to we mere peons level. He is to be worshipped and adored. After all, he is smart and he knows it, because he tells us.
What the hell is this moron’s claim to fame? I watched him on TV once for about 10 minutes. This guy is a POS in a cheap suit. IMHO.
I’m sure he’s swallowed all the 1619 nonsense hook line and sinker too.
Follow the science, not the scientist.
he’s starting to believe he’s relevant.
He is just way to smart
/\
Once a person swallows..
....Nothing exploded and
became everything..
Its ALL mentally downhill from there.
..and the lies they tell themselves just get bigger and bigger and bigger...
next thing they know,
they “know” men can give birth...
...cuz they are so “smart”.

Watch “ Harrison Bergeron” By Kurt Vonnegut.
way ahead of it’s time.
