Oh, "science" always seems to agree to condemn the madness ... two or three decades after the fact. I'm sure if our civilization survives this bad idea, they will do exactly the same.
If anything, the history of science is notable for the formation of cosy little cliques that do their best to exclude everybody else until the bleeding edge of research has progressed so far that the dominant clique is simply unable to maintain control.
Seriously, from astronomy to atomic theory, it's one large group grimly clinging on to control until the entire community is forced to concede that the academic emperor has no clothes.
You'd think that, but look at the eugenics stuff from the last century like Novanleon referenced. There seems to be no atrocity a group mind cannot endorse.
I'd wager there are many scientists -- maybe even the majority -- that think what is going on in the scientific community is insane but are just too scared to say or do anything about it.
The Left operates like the mafia -- or more accurately, an authoritarian government -- using fear, intimidation and lies to control people. By trying to personally destroy anyone who disagrees with them, they create a culture of coerced obedience, and it only takes a few radicals to create this culture. In reality the number of insane radicals on the Left is minuscule but their behavior so viscous and their voice so loud, they've successfully fooled people into believing they're far more powerful than they are, which ends up being a self-fulfilling prophesy in a way.
I can agree with that. I guess I expected science to shut down the morons saying that men can be women

I get that. I guess due to the idea that a man claiming to be a woman is obviously delusional. That should be a slam dunk like 2 plus 2 is 4.

That’s true. That has been proven over and over
