Sunk cost fallacy. Some people have made such a total arse of themselves supporting woobabble anti reality transology that they daren't step back from the cult now. They worry they'll have given up their professional reputation, common sense, decency and all hope of ever being taken seriously again for nothing if they admit that transology woobabble is at best a harmful idealogy with no basis in reality, and at worst a harmful cult.

What they haven't realised is, the second they rubber stamped the woobabble of transology, their reputations started heading down the gurgler, and the longer they hold on to the sinking ship of wokemongering misogyny, the less credibility they can hope to retain.

And of course, some have given up their actual physical health, and functional human bodies, or the healths and bodies of their children. How can they ever admit how they've fucked up people's physical and mental health so badly, for absolutely nothing? Doubling down is the only way they can bear the anguish underneath.
