I was sympathetic to the idea that binary sexes don't necessitate binary roles for respective individuals. The dogmatism against yin and yang regarding to how people view themselves and others.

That sympathy has completely waned by bad science and this is part of it.

> Psychology

has a replication crisis and those in power probably aren't the best. Anyone that knows how competitive science is, especially in soft sciences can attest to that. Is that scientifically proven? No.

I disagree that there are only 2 genders if it describes cultural roles. But banning him only underlines the fragility of psychology as a field.

This isn't psychology. This is physiology. Nor is the existence of gender dysphoria at all a controversial question.

I don't think that its existence was disputed. But banning people for their views doesn't convince me of there being no controversy. I think this is typical behavior if someone challenges dogmata.
