“Doyle writes exceptionally well and he backs up his j’accuse with copious illustrations of ideological excess… University no-platformers like to say that ‘words are violence’. If so, Doyle’s are rapiers” – The Herald

THREAD 🧵

Why are so many still trying to defend Mermaids?

This is a group that promotes a dangerous form of gender identity ideology to children, claims puberty blockers are harmless and reversible, & encourages breast binding for young girls without parental consent.

[1/9]

This is what is known as “belief perseverance”.

[2/9]
“Belief perseverance” is when people are presented with evidence that disproves their views but, instead of revising their views accordingly, they hold fast.

It explains a good deal of what is happening here.
