I struggle with this in so many areas. There are many, many commentators (including some of the guests that appear on my favorite podcasts, Substack and YT channels) who in my view espouse abhorrent beliefs on other issues, but have a spot-on analysis when it comes to gender. It’s helping me move away from throwing out the baby with the bathwater - but it does make me wonder whether the fractures make it harder to get work done on this issue. I’m certainly a “left-ugee” so to speak, but I still share and support lots of left and liberal perspectives and causes.
In my opinion, Heying and Weinstein's unfounded and loony claims that the COVID-19 vaccine is terribly dangerous to humans and their baseless and dangerous promotion of Ivermectin as a therapy for COVID-19 are the moral and scientific equivalent of when a gender affirming doctor tells the parents of a boy who says he's a girl that they have a choice: they can have a live daughter or a son who died by suicide.
How could Genspect, an organization that prides itself on embracing science, possibly provide a platform for someone who has made and continues to make such false and irresponsible claims about COVID-19, the greatest global health emergency in generations? It is not a matter of having reasonable differences in scientific opinion. Among other things, neither Heying nor Weinstein possess the academic credentials and experience to give informed opinions on these matters. They're just plain reckless.
