Judging from the comments from @lecarnardnoir on yesterday's @ScienceBasedMed post, it looks as though it's time to remind people of how transphobes are misrepresenting my words about Lupron from 15 years ago.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1412139916260253702 …

The answer is that transphobia (or indeed any unacknowledged prejudice) poisons thinking

It's not just transphobia, though. It's misogyny. It's even racism.

i think the trans stuff with kids is new and poorly understood, so it’s not surprising that people are getting overheated. It’s one of those things solved by time.

I think you are experiencing rationalization over rationality in both directions. William Bernstein said it better, "human "rationality" consists a fragile lid perilously balanced on the bubbling cauldron of artifice and self-delusions..."

Could be mild Nobel's Disease. Learned confidence from expertise in one area, plus expansion into areas they don't understand. But also don't forget how easy a lot of skeptical topics are if one merely takes time to read and isn't pre-tainted by specific bias.

The hatred for trans people and their allies in the British skeptic community is really appalling AND hard to comprehend.

Transphobia is like the canary in the skeptical coal mine, I think. It reveals an array of bigotries and biases that may be undetectable in other circumstances, where the targets are better protected and visible

I think all people have blind spots. Even among the very best skeptics. Who are not immune to psychological biases we all have. Basically they are human. Probably started anti trans and then went to confirm it.
