Why are so many "gender critical feminists" not critical of The Science in any other way?

The title is the whole question. I notice in particular a lot of these ladies are covid vax enthusiasts/CDC bootlickers. And of course they believe the chronically unprovable "born that way" hypothesis.

How can people go so far into the weeds comprehending that the medical system has utterly corrupted itself over troonery, without questioning a whole lot of other assumptions?

People aren't entirely rational, especially women, and double especially liberals. The reason some are pretty based about tranny issues in particular is probably because it's a more easily observable reality that they're just dudes in wigs, whereas they still trust the "hard science" of medicine.

Another factor can be it effects them personally. Maybe they hate men so much that they break rank on the issue, or have been made uncomfortable by trannies in person or miraculously have enough brain cells to know they might be effected eventually.

Because fake modern feminists only care about the things that agree with them and their retardation and act like the rest doesn't exist. That's why they blame "toxic masculinity" for their perpetual single status rather than acknowledging that the real reason no one will ever date them is because they're stupid lazy unlikable toxic cunts with no redeeming qualities.

Like any liberal group, feminists aren't very smart. They never thought that decades of promoting "muh intersectionalism" and "muh gender deconstruction" would eventually come back to bite them in the ass until they found themselves in the back of the bus since troons were deemed more oppressed than women. Some of them ended up getting raped by troons too, although that's a common feminist L given male feminists are such successful predators. It's a very typical liberal thing, just like how shitholes like Portland and San Francisco have a bunch of politicians now promising to fix the homeless problem and crime problem that liberal policies created. But you'll never see those people question far-left ideology as a whole, and feminists will never question The Science on the vaxx, race, etc.

Because it has nothing to do with them actually disliking transgenders it has to do with the fact that they I'm angry that the transgenders are taking all of the special privileges they still wanna be able to falsely accuse men of sexual assault ruin men's lives through divorce courts steal people's kids and screw them up and get special loans just for women and scholarships they're just angry that transgenders are stealing the special snowflake status

Because it doesn't affect them negatively, in an immediate and obvious way.

I think this is correct.
I’d also add that it’s a very different stance to go from thinking one aspect of ‘stuff you’re supposed to believe’ is off, and ‘shit, maybe I need to have a deep think about all of it.’
To not trust TheScience(TM) requires the kind of mindset that allows you to admit you were wrong about something.
If there is one lesson covid should teach most people, aside from general skepticism, it’s that almost nobody is capable of admitting they were wrong about so much stuff. It seems to really hit something deep in us.
I say this as a scientist (sorry…) I hope I’ve always been one of the honest and skeptical ones but I will admit that I had preconceptions I hadn’t tested. I’m trying very hard now to think differently. A daft example, but @High-Fructose Corn Syrup asserts that corn syrup is ok, and my inner previous otterly is screaming SYRUP BAD but I’m willing to look at the evidence. And actually, the evidence is a bit contradictory. That kind of thing.
It genuinely is harder to get people to admit they were fooled than it is to fool them. And when you’re aligned with an SJW type group like radfems you’re effectively in a cult, and cults don’t take kindly to beliefs being questioned. I think you have to be a bit of an outsider to really be critical.

They don't actually understand science. The whole critical theory shit goes back to the Frankfurt School philosophers who just wanted a tool to dismantle the establishment.
They are the dumbest people you can imagine, but thanks to being academically enriched they think they're smart. It's cargo cult science, it all boils down to "performing" science. They can't be critical of science because that would require an actual understanding of the process. Instead they see science as "put on a lab coat and make shit up" because that's what they see from the outside. Cargo cult. Doing the motions without understanding, performance. That's why, despite technically being all about questioning authority, they always resort to arguments of authority, and never grasp the irony in that. They don't understand the idea behind questioning stuff, they just know to question certain things because that's what they've been told to perform.
These people are actual retards who have given the participation medal equivalent of an academic degree and now think they are highly skilled and deserve to be paid like a real academic.
They are cancer.

/edit: The other issue is that among the general populace science is treated as a sort of authority in and of itself, to an undue degree. While it can be sort of treated like that in physics where the experiments and theories are pretty stringent and yield concrete results (like, yes, despite people somehow still raging against it, Relativity, both Special and General, has very observable effects that show that the theory holds up. Same with quantum mechanics. Yet we also know that these theories are incomplete, they only work in their specific realms and that is all well known. And most of the more debated parts don't really affect anyone's life besides the researchers and their budgets), it gets harder to be reliable in the life sciences, where experiments have to factor in a lot of externalities that can hardly be controlled. Add in that for example biology and medicine can and does have a direct impact on people's everyday lifes and can be directly related to politics and profits, there's a much bigger reason and incentive to A) treat these as authoritive, and B) straight up falsify data to so a particular study yields the desired result. When there's a global pandemic going on, politics will be interested in how it can be used to establish methods of control over people. So politics would very much like to have "the science" seen as an infallible authority, and also have control over said authority so they can justify things. Pharma companies have their bottom line directly affected by that, too, of course.

Hfcs is not good and is factually bad. The science and nutritional data prove this.

Admitting you're wrong/ pride is something ingrained into humanity. Doubly so if you've believed something for a long time. People get very angry when you call them a fool, which makes them double down without thinking.

that's not really true, I've met a few conspiracy theorist women in radfem circles, even lolcow.farm has conspiracy threads. The big radfem sites though are just normie middle aged women with kids, so they just have normie beliefs, questioning the tranny shit might lead them to questioning more eventually.

It's perfectly consistent to think there's ideological motivation behind some stances they're seriously wrong about while not believing in abject malice. The general view, at least as I understand it is: "Human beings make human mistakes so much of the medical community is genuinely fooled into believing the troon bullshit. But a lot of the stuff about covid implies some sort of cabal is actively lying for some material benefit which is significantly less likely."
'But this is a very low effort analysis. I'm only here because I got tagged.

If they did not trust science, they would not be gender critical right? Since biology, a science, trumps gender ideology
