    From what I understand, she’s a typical “right wing” Atheist.

    She used to be with a youtuber called “Armored Skeptic”. (If you know, you know.)

    Atheists ended up being seen as right wing after sensitivity became a core requirement to be welcome in left wing discourse.

    Completely denying God is Islamophobic, and therefore alt-right.

    And while they are usually accepting of the right to transition, Atheists also tend to not see the mind-over-matter style “I think I am female, therefore I am.” as meaningful, but instead view the biological influence of hormones and the social effects of behavior and clothing to be what makes a transition go from a desire to a materialized reality.

    This is a transphobic way to view transitions, and therefore right wing.

    These days, men like Richard Dawkins have very little influence. Atheism (and anti-theism) peaked around 2010, but after gaining a very bad image there are now few who will self-label as an atheist, even fewer will call themselves anti-theists. They’ll rather say “I’m not religious”, “I’m agnostic”, if not declining to answer completely.
