      And this is why the promotion of pseudoscience or magical thinking is incredibly dangerous. Astrology (for example) may seem like harmless fun, but the lack of critical thinking involved in believing it seeps into other aspects of your beliefs and worldview.

      Now we have a population of people full-on addicted to technology created by the same scientists who have been ringing alarm bells for decades. They’ll unironically tell you that they believe the Earth is flat using a device directly connected to a satellite that only works because the scientists who designed it took the (very real) shape of the planet into account.

      We’re fucked.

    There’s such a small risk of regret after taking hrt medication or undergoing surgery that it must be medically advisable to support trans care.

    You’re not going to believe this, but apparently people understand their own gender better than random, self-centered bigots.
