The specific rejection of the syndromic classification of this trauma. Deniers argue that grouping these psychological effects into a "syndrome" legitimizes pseudoscientific beliefs by framing their defenders as patients rather than opponents. They contend it medicalizes a social debate and provides a shield of victimhood for bad actors. This denial is a strategic refusal to allow the human cost of anti-pseudoscience activism to be part of the ethical calculus, ensuring the fight remains "pure" and unconstrained by concerns over psychological harm.
