The priests, who function as experts in the rules of the imaginary being in the sky tell us, "God does not make mistakes." Even though all sorts of obvious birth defects sort of refute that one. Of course if one holds to that particular belief then there is always the possibility of god as malevolent being.
But let's take a look at the claims of expertise on the part of the god interfacers. With them there tends to be reliance on books of mythology dating back 1500 or more years that have scientific mistakes and impossibilities like earth centric solar systems etc. Not exactly confidence providing in the scientific arena these "holy" books tend to also be rampantly misogynistic and homophobic.
The Tyranny of (so-called) experts is my number one gripe. But I'm referring to HBGDA, WPATH, and the AMA.
