Richard Dawkins loses ‘Humanist of the Year’ award after comparing trans people to Rachel Dolezal

British evolutionary biologist and famed atheist Richard Dawkins has been stripped of his “Humanist of the Year” award following tweets comparing transgender people to Rachel Dolezal, a White activist who self-identifies as Black.

The American Humanist Association announced in a statement Monday it was withdrawing the award given to Mr. Dawkins in 1996 after it determined he was “no longer deserving of being honored” by the organization.
