      This is when I stopped watching. What does an astrophysicist know about gender? Why did she feel the need to insert it into an astrophysics video? Scientists: stay in your lane and recognize you might not be the authority you think you are on every subject. Also, irrelevant to the content at hand.

        There’s a huge phenomenon of people who are experts in random fields pretending that it gives the competence to speak about trans issues.

        Eg, Helen Joyce is a mathematician but has made her entire career into being aggrieved about trans people.

          NdGT will talk about ANY subject as though he was an expert. I’m kind of shocked he hasn’t said anything stupid about trans people yet, but he sure has said a lot of stupid stuff.

          i suspect alot of these are paid to be right wing mouthpieces by someone funding them. they need new ones currently(the likes of tim poole, shapiro isnt enough), and “intellectuals” aka, pseudointellectuals with degrees have more validity to would be potential “far right supporters” in the audience, and drawing men into the manosphere.

            Yeah, I think the Heritage Foundation and a few other groups are deliberately recruiting and paying people for anti trans propaganda. Consider how Riley Gaines has made an entire career out of tying with someone for fifth place at a swim competition.

            There’s a phenomenon of fake detransitioners as well. Maia Poet and Chloe Cole.

              Fulnecky is a new one made a fake paper, she knows that the trans TA would get in trouble. Faux news is lining upnew bimbos, incase ingraham gets the axe from being an anchor.

              jordan peterson was very effective in getting people into the manosphere with pseudo-intellectual bs. im guessing they need more for each STEM background. and he was mostly paid by putin, his ties to russia is pretty obvious.

              transphobia, lgbtq+ phobia seems to be the thing "uniting hate amonst even POCs (that are bigoted)too, transphobia issue seems to be unresolved in POC groups, like asians, blacks, hispanics, because its almost never discussed…

      After knowing it, I agree with the university of Munich kicking her out like trash.

        im guessing there was truth about some of the commenters saying she was the one that was “hard to work with” after seeing the first 30seconds of the video(about giving up as a physicist", at first i thought it was anti-feminist comment, but it make sense now.
