Gender identity politics are no different than Religion in terms of how they interface with scientific fact. Science was first founded by the church as a way to validate beliefs held, but soon Science began to contradict the church to a varying degree and so many of the early scientists were held over the fires of belief.
Today, up until recently, science was an unchallenged belief even by Religion, however now with Gender Identity Politics, a very scary thing is happening, we are beginning to embrace belief over scientific fact.
Gender Dysphoria is a real thing, but that's as far as the sciences are willing to go, yet people in these communities claim science is so complex that it does account for all Genders associated with identity politics, but the thing is, anybody who questions that belief is not interfaced with reasonably, but rather simply censored, because when the science behind all this stuff is questioned, none of these questions are easily answered.
It is an extremely dangerous precedence; these same people also believe Marxism is the answer to everything and that Mao is the greatest leader the world has ever saw... Ironically, if we did embrace Marxism this small group of people would quite literally be eaten alive by the majority and it is the system they are a part of today, democracy which allows this belief to be held.
This belief has truly started with women though, as the modern woman has this belief that their privilege is associated with being a woman and not being a mother, which couldn't be farther from the truth, but the narrative is widely supported.
None of these people think critically and without censorship, their beliefs would fall flat.
The most terrifying manifestation of the denial of scientific fact is no longer Gender Identity Politics however, now it is the Anti-Vax crowd, who are emboldened by the embracing of Gender Identity Politics in government and official bodies under the guise of inclusion.
It's all connected, the tyranny of belief is very real today and scientific fact is beginning to bend to belief once more, it is a terrifying prospect, one I did not think I would ever see in my life time and yet here we are, it's here and I'm not even close to 40 yet, this is the biggest threat to modern civilization today, because now of course the climate change deniers are being emboldened by all these groups as well, employing censorship and otherwise.
I hate to be a doomer, but the roots of belief are deep, far deeper than the roots of science, Covid is probably the best and worse thing that could of possibly happened because it's highlighted the fact that the tyranny of belief is still very real, science has not dispelled it and is actively bending to societal narratives.
