It's more that no matter how much science you throw at them, both TERFS and flat earthers will do their hardest to ignore it, screaming "la la la" with their fingers in their ears til the world ends. And both groups are great examples of feelings being more important than facts

I interpreted the Venn diagram comment to be about the set of flat earthers, and the set of terfs. But if it was about the traits of flat earthers, and the traits of terfs, then yeah, what you said.
