I hate when we make this argument. It plays right into their hands. It’s overly simplistic and illogical.

For example, I trust the science that a biological male is a biological male and a biological female is a biological female. That science is settled and questioning it is actually pretty stupid and even immoral when used to try to chop boys’ penises off and pretend they are girls.

I don’t question the composition of H2O. I think that science is pretty settled.

I am fairly certain that the sun is a star. I think that science is settled. Questioning that is moronic. It’s a waste of time and gay.

The pushback should be that their science is junk. It’s wrong. It’s flat out wrong. They change everything we knew about virology and epidemiology to pretend that COVID-19 was worse than it was, was killing more people than it was, and that we should fight it in some unique way that we’ve never used when battling viruses in the past. Strategies that extended the duration and death toll. That’s just bad science.

This idea that “questioning science is science” and other similar tropes and clichés that we use are cringey.

I’ve noticed a lot of people that promote them are anti-intellectuals. We have enough of those people on the right. We don’t need more of them.
