hypotheses include an assumption that there are fundamental differences between male brains and female brains, something that critical theory-influenced radical feminists are unlikely to accept. Many of these hypotheses also point to trans people being essentially intersex, at least on the neurological level, if not on a whole-body level, something that conservative cultural warriors may not want to consider. Nevertheless, we should not let political considerations get in the way of good science. The generation and exploration of scientific hypotheses should never be limited by the preferences of political factions. We should protect the freedom of scientific research from being limited by those with a political agenda, left-wing and rightwing alike.
It All Started with a Historical Accident To start reversing the social problems created by critical theory and postmodernism, we first have to understand that the rise of these ideas was a historical accident, and that their continued spread is therefore contingent on particular conditions. In particular, it should be understood that support for these extremist ideas is very dependent on context, and even generations who were once curious about these ideas could turn away from them when conditions change.
