There are people on the left who follow science like a religion and they have their own issues, which would take too long to get into here.

However, these people we are referring to are not them. There is no better way to describe this but they are in a SJW cult/religion, and they follow whatever that cult tells them to follow. It doesn't have to have (and almost never does) any basis in actual science or rational thought. Because science, for better or for worse (it used to be religion but is not anymore) is sort of like a second language of the modern world, they claim that their SJW cult beliefs have basis in science so they can try to convince non-believers to convert to their faith or at least maintain some credibility (don't fall for it, they have no credibility). However, actual scientific evidence for their insane and provably un-true beliefs does not exist. Therefore, the SJW cult/religion is not founded on science and they don't even really believe in it, they just claim it is based in science to give it legitimacy, but provide no credible proof of this so-called science and you don't even see them suggesting any of it. Their argument for converting people is always emotional (unless you believe in our SJW cult beliefs, you are a bad person). And their arguments for their tenants of their cult/fails are 'There are 267 genders because there are obviously 267 genders and that's the science.' which is circular logic and the science part adds nothing to it (an invalid form of reasoning).
