"While we face catastrophic climate change and other pending disasters, how can we restore the public’s understandings about scientific realities? We explore disinformation and ways to communicate with non-scientists to loosen the grip the disinformants have on so many people."

Transphobes frequently make divine appeals to science in a quasi-religious way, almost presenting science as if it were some kind of unchanging religious doctrine rather than a method to examine whether our observations are correct.

My 12yo is waging a protest against gravity being hard, I mean I totally understand how PBOT and our entire city govt is institutionally wishing cars would pay full price but be cheap and the streets would be empty like a car commercial but bustling with economic activity, and all of it electric & powered by cinnamon-scented #UnicornFarts. #climateWishing #CarsRuinCities #InducedDemand #ScienceDenial #TrafficEngineering

Teens are adults. It's obvious biological fact.
Why are people so desperate to infantilize young adults aged 14-18?
They'll even dive deep into #ScienceDenial before they admit that puberty is real. It's really embarrassing nonsense.
16-year-olds are NOT children.
To say so is unscientific garbage. Our young adults have internalized their own infantilization to such an extent that they openly deny the existence of #BasicBiology

It's unscientific garbage. It's #ScienceDenial used to support vile bigotry against young men.
It is demeaning and degrading to call pubescents and young adults boys and girls.
Infantilizing them causes tremendous harm. Look at their mental health stats.
This country bumpkin is truly impressive with her wilful ignorance. She's got a litter of #FeralCats and I'd suggested helping balance the ecology by finding a #TrapNeuterVaccinateRelease program and she literally insisted that science doesn't know what they're talking about and what she's seen is more accurate. 🙄 I can't. #sciencedenial

This is a case of a bad law causing harm by criminalizing harmless behavior.

By the way, "hormones settling" is ridiculous nonsense. Post-pubescent people aged 14+ have adult hormones. And teenagers are fully grown by age 15.
@ToboeOkami is deep in #ScienceDenial
