Pseudoscience

I think it needs to be made clearer that Ray Blanchard's "transsexual typography" is as pseudoscientific as phrenology. 15:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)46.69.182.35 46.69.182.35 15:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

While it has certainly been discredited, Blanchard's typology doesn't seem to have been widely declared "pseudoscience" in the same sense as homeopathy, ear candling, etc. Wiktionary also kind of interprets NPOV differently than Wikipedia. The entries for vaccine, evolution, etc. don't incorporate controversy regarding the subject into its definition. So I'm unsure what the ideal approach might be here. I'd hoped "proposed" would make it clear that Blanchard's typology doesn't have wide acceptance or a strong evidence base. But perhaps clearer language is necessary. Any suggestions?

Spitballing some ideas: add that word ("discredited"), and/or tweak "proposed" to "supposed". - -sche (discuss) 22:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
