One day a friend of mine, who was a lawyer, told me that "it's easier to lead a scammer to confess his crime, than to lead the victims to accept the fact that they fell for a scam"
That's just the way it is
Sounds like politics.
You can add religion too. And scientists aren't immune to the phenomenon, nobody is. What are you going to do when, the set of beliefs your entire life/career revolves around, turns out to be falsehoods? Are you going to reform, adapt, or are you going to deny and double down?
It's as if you were told that everything you know, your parents, your memories, your wife and kids, etc... Are in reality, just an illusion, they don't exist and never have.
That's a tough one, it's tougher that going full amnesia
It happened to a guy, that's a story a philosophy teacher told us back in the day. The guy had a road accident, spent a couple month in a coma, and then he wokes up and the first thing he did was asking to see his wife and kids, family.
Doctors said nothing at first, in an attempt to wait it out. Waiting for the dust to settle down a bit, before telling him. And they finally told him, that he never had a wife and kids. And the guy could remember everything, all the birthdays of his kids, their home, his wedding, childbirth, her job, his job, every fucking details of years of existence. And it was only real in his mind.
Imagine the shock, imagine what life is like after that
And for the trannies, especially those who fell from a very early age into that fiction with a strong peer validation around them (celebs turning their kids into trannies for instance), it's pretty much the same deal. It's nearly impossible to fully come back from that sort of trip, after let's say a sudden flash of lucidity/waking up to reality. Going full amnesic is somehow an easier path. Suicide also, for lack of better alternative.
Struth!

It's like he lived a better life during his coma than his real life
