      Having unwillingly undergone a five week intensive exposure to "gender critical" arguments, I've concluded that a disturbing number of them boil down to taking "Ew, trans people ick me out" and cranking that feeling up to, "Trans people are an abomination against nature/God/etc."

      Look, there are scientific controversies surrounding the treatment of trans adolescents, but a dispassionate, science-based discussion of how best to medically and surgically treat trans teens is not what the GC movement is about.

      Moreover, science denialism is less about how "settled" a given scientific/medical issue is and more about the types of misleading arguments and conspiracy theories deployed against that issue.

      Finally, I've now concluded that, if anything, GC activists inhibit, rather than foster, a good science-based discussion of the medical and scientific questions surrounding how best to treat trans teens. They produce far more heat than light.

      They continually associate transgender women with sexual predators preying on 'real' women/girls. Interestingly, they never seem to worry about transgender men preying on boys.

      That's another thing I've noticed over the last five weeks.

          IKR? There's a reason I limited who can reply to this thread. I knew the responses and mentions would turn really toxic really fast if I didn't. As for the quote Tweeters, well, if they're nice enough to inform me right away who should needs muting or blocking...
