Uncertainty is a feature of science, not a flaw.
Admitting uncertainty isn't the same as pretending both sides are equal.
Populists exploit this nuance to sow doubt on issues like medicine, climate and vaccines.

Science thrives on openness to new evidence.
But that openness isn’t a license to ignore consensus or amplify fringe claims.
The burden of proof lies with challengers, not the scientific mainstream.

“Settled” doesn’t mean 100% certainty - it means overwhelming evidence.
The earth is round.
Vaccines save lives.
These aren’t 50-50 debates.
Uncertainty shouldn't be an excuse for false balance.

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
