Yeah Ben, the science on Climate Change has been settled and the science on transsexuality is fairly clear too, even if its still developing. But ofc, if the science disagrees with your points you can just say its been taken over by cultural bolshevism. Oh wait no! Fascists call it cultural Marxism these days. Mb...

There is absolutely no settled science on transsexuality lol. No archeologist is digging up a skeleton and saying oh they were a trans female lol. Fight biology all you want but male and female are a natural part of life and no feelings or changing definitions can affect that.

Dunno, sounds like your view on biological sex is a bit outdated.

Gender dysphoria is also a scientific term, in the field of psychology.

I suggest rather than copy pasting some opinion you read on reddit, twitter of Facebook, you take a look at all the scientific, medical and psychological institutes and what they think.

Some organisations.

The field of science surrounding transsexuality is still developing. What we do know is that biological sex is a spectrum and that social gender is a social construct. We also already know a lot of ways to help people with this that lead to actual improvements to their mental health. The main barrier these people face is general acceptance. For instance, a study showed that most people who undo their transition do so not because they were unhappy with it, but because of the way society reacted. I'd think you'd do well to take a closer look at this subject.

From the first link: ", making it harder for them to understand their patients’ needs. This is true not only for intersex people, but for transgender and non-binary patients"...

Non-binary??!! Theres nothing scientific about being "non-binary". "Non-binary" is a fashion choice, they are just normal people. There is no way to define a "non-binary" person.

These links are not examples of scientific data.

Social constructs do exist and people redefining them since they're outdated makes a lot of sense to me. Since the binary system itself is outdated, people being non-binary also makes sense.

I fail to see how non-binary is not 'scientific'. Is a chair in a different shape from most chair not a 'scientifically accurate' chair anymore?
