"Denial of science", or similar, should be noted in the first paragraph

Latest comment: 2 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

In a similar fashion the Wikipedia page for Flat Earth, it would be beneficial and noteworthy for this article to begin by stating that transphobia is a form of science denial. Thank you. MoonTheCraft (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

“Transphobia is a form of science denial” ugh… I’m sorry but it’s kind of a very hard claim to support ~2026-28834-89 (talk) 11:04, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

As with most of Wikipedia, if we are to mention this, it would be very good to have a reliable secondary source that indicates it. Do you have something that discusses the "denial of science" perspective? —
