You're making a huge leap by assuming this is because such a subject isn't politically correct or whatever. There's many more likely explanations:
• You have phrased the search in a way that people expressing that view wouldn't be likely to use, yet is similar to how people holding contrary views would express theirs. I think that's the case here. If you search for “gender does not exist” or so, you may get the results you want.
• Google's results are customised based on what they think you would be interested in.
• Content from one side of a contentious topic may be less popular online and/or not linked to as many authoritative sites, and thus have a lower PageRank.
- deertick1 5y ago1) my point was specifically if you search for a phrase that would have been used one 1 side of an argument you often get the other side if its a politically contentious issue. E.g. why would a blog that is pro gender identity related stuff contain the phrase "I dont care about gender identity" 2) so I am clearly of a more conservative bent, yet google frequently gives articles which are hostile to conservative views. So if its doing this its doing a terrible job. 3) agreed. And that is, imo, problematic. Or at least really fucking obnoxious and kneecaps the utility of google.
