It shouldn't come as a surprise he has nothing of value to say about (identity) politics, because on that topic he doesn't have any expertise. He's just another guy with poorly conceived opinions. On the other hand he has been a clinical psychologist for 20 years and so (surprise!) he has accumulated some valuable insights along the way.
