Who are the actual "science deniers": people who wait until vaccines are proven effective, or people who believe that there are more than two genders?

However you cut it, sex and gender aren’t simply binary, and the people who think they are are science deniers who are in the nut-bucket with the Flat Earthers.
Or, if you look at it another way you can say yes, there are only two sexes (which isn’t quite the same as gender), sperm-producing and egg-producing - but then you have to accept that a significant number of people are both, or neither. And I’m not just talking about people who are sterile, but people born with no gonads at all, or with combination ovo-testes, or with one ovary and one testicle.
I studied Biological Science in the 1970s at the 18th-ranked university in the world Even then, our professors had a saying “The law recognises two sexes: science recognises seven”. And yes, they were talking about humans.
