The problem is the type of ppl who don't support Trans rights won't change their mind because MR SCIENTIST said they are wrong

Mr scientist also said the earth is warming but I’m still seeing snow on my lawn.

You show me where in the bible it says hormone treatments are allowed by Jesus! Give me the hyperlink on your electronic device!

Jesus explicitly took food and copied it until everybody had enough fish and bread.

And now the forces of Satan say you wouldn’t download fish and bread?

Torrenting is literally holy work.

Hyperlinks are a liberal psy-op. I'll only click regular links.

Are you mad? Anti-woke champion Musk is building the hyper loop so clearly hyper links are anti woke as well!

Hyperlinks? Sounds like yer computin' device has some of that ay-dee-eych-dee, better git it some of that ridalin and focalin

And this is why the promotion of pseudoscience or magical thinking is incredibly dangerous. Astrology (for example) may seem like harmless fun, but the lack of critical thinking involved in believing it seeps into other aspects of your beliefs and worldview.

Now we have a population of people full-on addicted to technology created by the same scientists who have been ringing alarm bells for decades. They'll unironically tell you that they believe the Earth is flat using a device directly connected to a satellite that only works because the scientists who designed it took the (very real) shape of the planet into account.

We're fucked.

They are also the ones who will point to their sixth grade biology class as proof that there are two genders.

As a trans woman, the look on someone's face when I said there were at least 9 variations on the 23rd pair is always priceless. It doesn't matter if having one of those variations is irrelevant to being trans, it shuts down their sixth grade understanding of biology and sex determination.

Yes I had the discussion with someone who I thought was better than this today.

And their imaginary friends are unlikely to challenge their biases or present new evidence.
