transphobes are on a different plane of existence than the rest of us how do you manage to come to these conclusions

???????????? genuinely how do these people think science works like do they still believe in bloodletting

This is a huge problem actually. Sometimes “scientific illiteracy” is not a creationist flat earther or whatever easy target, but an avid follower of the I Fucking Love Science Facebook page who says “Believe Scientists!”. Either way they don’t know what science is and treat it like a religious cosmology of ultimate truth to believe or disbelieve for which “scientists” are the divine vessels, instead of a process or communal enterprise.

The latter kind of people actually do sometimes “burn out” and by that i mean come into contact with a very typical uncertainty or debate among scientists for the first time & come to the conclusion that science is fake now.
