      It’s amazing how quickly they’ll pivot from “I have science on my side” to “The science is wrong.”

      They don’t form opinions based on evidence, they judge evidence based on their opinions.

    Terf mindset is fascinating. It’s like they need their conceptual models to literally be objective reality. Accepting even a glimmer of uncertainty into the perfect essential binary law of nature would just implode their whole world, and they know it. So nothing is off the table. The entire basis of reality is at stake and they’ll sacrifice you, me and themselves to protect it.

      Dunno actually. Flat earthers tend to be end is nigh religious types, and I don’t see them needing to dress up transphobia with feminist terminology

        It’s more that no matter how much science you throw at them, both TERFS and flat earthers will do their hardest to ignore it, screaming “la la la” with their fingers in their ears til the world ends. And both groups are great examples of feelings being more important than facts

        The number of terfs and gender criticals that dip their toes in the washing pool of the alliance defending freedom is astonishingly high
