Check out the podcast "Blocked and Reported" hosted by Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog. It's all about cancel culture from the perspective of reasonable journalists who are left-leaning. They receive an immense amount of hate from folks on the far left (e.g., both have been labelled TERFS).

In their most recent episode they had a fascinating interview with a woman who was trans (took testosterone to transition to become a man) but then "detransitioned" back to being a woman.
A couple of episodes back they reviewed the "recovered memory wars" of the 80s and 90s. Basically, a bunch of people claimed that, through therapy, they had come to recover vivid memories of being sexually abused (often by their relatives). However, recovered memories have little to no scientific support. You do not completely forget about traumatic abuse and recover it perfectly years later. Lots of families were torn apart and legal proceedings followed. A lot of prominent false memory researchers like Elizabeth Loftus testified to debunk claims of recovered memories (based on science!) and were vilified for "denying" people's traumatic experiences even though in hindsight those false memories were bullshit.
Sounds familiar doesn't it?
