“Transvestigators” tend to be on the far right and draw on debunked phrenological tropes to make their case.
“Debunked phrenology” is redundant. Phrenology is pseudoscience and people didn’t even believe it in the 19th century when it gained some popularity.
From Wikipedia:
The methodological rigor of phrenology was doubtful even for the standards of its time, since many authors already regarded phrenology as pseudoscience in the 19th century.
This is how you know these people are legitimately stupid but they don’t know. They use downright embarrassing 1830s bullshit that scientists didn’t even believe during Herman Melville’s time.
