In the same way your stance on climate change is a scientific position regardless if your stance is correct or not.

It's still an evil to unjustly attack someone even if to different degrees.



And who decides what is just or not? Somehow the privileged ones always think they use their privilege in a just way.

Can you please just give the definition of "scientific position" that you are using?

Do you mean an assertion regarding reality? Because I think everyone agrees on the reality. The question of what the words "sex" and "gender" constitute is not a question of reality: it is a question of social and legal constructs.

Yep.
