In Med School I was on a panel of students who had dinner with the dean to discuss the curriculum and share our experiences/concerns with our educational experience. I knew one of the other students at that dinner was given special accommodations (extra time to take tests, etc.). When the dean asked if I had concerns, I told him I felt it was concerning that people were being given special treatment/accommodations in order to allow them to keep up with the vigorous academic pace required of med school and of physicians throughout their careers - I felt it was a potential liability to patients that a physician was unlikely to be able to keep up with the long hours of clinical obligations and keep up with the ever evolving field of medicine as predicted by their inability to graduate from medical school without help. The woman who I knew was receiving some of these accommodations immediately told me it was unfair to judge and people should be given the opportunity to pursue their dreams to which I said, "I wanted to be a world champion sprinter - does that mean that I should be given a head start in every race in order to pursue my goal? And, as ludicrous as that sounds, it's just running and lives aren't on the line like they are when physicians can't keep up with the demands of their profession. Or perhaps we allow that but require every physician that required assistance/accommodations to graduate medical school to disclose this fact to any potential patients and give the patients the options to request another physician" She excused herself from dinner in a huff....
The fantasy of equality is all fine and dandy when there's nothing on the line. Equality of opportunity is something else entirely.

MMA has already been bitten by the gender dysphoria bug. Google 'Fallon Fox' and enjoy some of the way people "refuse to accept science"
Taika Brents has her own opinion and on at least one occasion, Rhonda Rousey refused to fight Fox for similar reasons.
The term denier only applies to people on the right that don't worship climate change... Flat earthers, moon hoaxers, and social degenerates are not required to acknowledge"science" unless it deals with climate change.
But hey - "science"
