A glaring example of this is the current debate about sexual identity and gender.
One of the main (far) right talking points. Something that in the end doesn't affect them at all, something that they neiter do understand nor try to understand nor want to understand.
What does it say about a society if it forces its people to live unhappy lives or hide their true selves?

Without going into it you can say that these beliefs are not based on science or reality.
