Pseudoscience
Though formerly used to describe a Christian fundamentalist's batshittery when it comes to their interpretation of the world's history, and later on New Age quacks that think powdered rhino horn is the cure for everything from the common cold to Cancer, the term Pseudoscience has since become a buzzword used primarily by SJWs and Cultural Marxists to describe scientific discoveries that upset them.
The opposite of Pseudoscience is Settled science. The irony in both of these terms is that they usually mean the opposite.
Definition
Pseudoscience stems from the portmanteau of two words; Pseudo, typically meaning false, artificial, or imitation, and Science, a method of study comprised of intellectual hypotheses and practical experiments. Combined, the word typically translates to "false study", and in most cases this is accurate. After all, who needs to study anything if you feel that you know every answer already?
Settled science, on the other hand, is quickly turning into the scientific community's version of the Holocaust, in the sense that if you so much as contest any of the constantly-changing 'evidence' or point out that most, if not all of its proponents form one big incestuous hivemind that police the upper echelons of the scientific world, your name shall remain forever tarred. Because scientists have never been wrong about anything, ever.

Examples of Pseudoscience
Homeopathy
Moar info: Alternative Medicine.
This is the cornerstone of all modern Pseudoscience. Unlike trepanation, lobotomy or others pants-shittingly retarded "cures" that were outlawed once average human intelligence surpassed 100 IQ, alternative medicine and its homeopathic doctrine remained, its staunch believers thinking there's more to the Placebo Effect than tricking yourself into thinking you're better.
Climate Change
Moar info: Global Warming.
If Climategate and the fact that you're still standing long after the Y2K doomsday prophecy that was first foretold in the 1970s are not reason enough to convince yourself that the whole cooling warming TRUST US IT'S CHANGING BRO fearmongering since the Oil Crisis has been not much more than hot air, then your cranial cavity is filled with much of the same.
Transgenderism
Moar info: Autogynephilia.
There are two genders; if your chromosomes are XY, you're a man. If they're XX, you're a woman. No arguments. And for anyone that believes otherwise, do remember that David Reimer died for your harmful cause, his whole life being one big sadistic experiment.
Theory of multiple genders
Here's a fact that may please some of these retards: there are technically more than two biological genders (aka sexes). However, these are genetic dead-end hybrids, since most who can call themselves more than just a man or woman suffer from 6 million different conditions and are more often than not infertile. They also do not possess a magical third set of genitalia independent from a penis or vagina. Outside of anthropology, these are known as Freemartins.
