Are gender feminists & transgender activists undermining science? [YES Libs manipulate Science!]

In the world of radical identity politics, two groups with very different philosophies have been ignoring science in the name of advancing equality: gender feminists and transgender activists.

Gender feminists — who are distinct from traditional equity feminists — refuse to acknowledge the role of evolution in shaping the human brain, and instead promote the idea that sex differences are caused by a socialization process that begins at birth.

Gender, according to them, is a construct; we are born as blank slates and it is parents and society at large that produce the differences we see between women and men in adulthood.

The idea that our brains are identical sounds lovely, but the scientific evidence suggests otherwise. Many studies, for instance, have documented the masculinizing effects of prenatal testosterone on the developing brain. And a recent study in the journal Nature’s Scientific Reports showed that testosterone exposure alters the programming of neural stem cells responsible for brain growth and sex differences.

In another study, published in 2016, researchers used a larger sample in conjunction with higher-resolution neuroimaging and were able to successfully classify a brain by its sex 93% of the time.

Distortion of science hinders progress. When gender feminists start refuting basic biology, people stop listening, and the larger point about equality is lost.

All for the Dumbing Down of all our children—to warp their desires and “thinking” so the Lucifereans can erase the Christian Worldview which is about Excellence and Truth-—and drag us into their Mind Controlled pits of hell-—degrading, dehumanizing behaviors where emotions erase Reason

We will all be cattle for the elites to use and control and kill.

What caused the socialization process that began at birth in the first place? Maybe it's a natural process that's programmed into the human brain by a Creator? But we know why feminists refuse to acknowledge this. Its the elephant in the room. They want to be able to rationalize their unruly and unnatural behavior and have an excuse for being a beotch...: )

It is modern day Lysenkoism, when the Soviet Era denied Mendel’s genetics and said if it is for the good of society, the dog can give birth to a cat.
Another variation of this is the politicization of psychology. In the Soviet Union, dissident were often classified as having “sluggish schizophrenia”, because they didn’t see the worker’s paradise they lived in. Today, you can be transgender but not transracial, because liberals say gender is a social construct but race is innate biology. You get homosexuality is an innate trait, not a choice, but everything else in one’s personality and IQ are infinitely malleable.

I have seen white kids trying to act, talk and dress black. They are wannabes but from the outside they look ridiculous. I see girls trying to be butch. Some times they grow out of this but others live with the delusion. Fantasy leads to liberal delusion.
