A cursory examination of the Twitter link you posted shows a hell of a lot of people explaining this is bad science, that the methodology was flawed, and clearly biased. Assuming this is true (because unlike some I dont just take Twitter posts at face value without any further thought), wouldnt that be a valid reason for activists to want something taken down?

There are a lot of flawed and bad articles out there with poor science done, yet they remain published and existing for the world to see. This one should be no different. Instead of deleting such work from the world, we should instead preserve them for their flaws.


Im willing to bet most of those wont be latched into by bigots, trolls, and religious fanatics to prove their stupid points. I dont really care about high minded principles, I care about the practical effects of things like this, frankly. Its not like the scientific pursuits arent already broken as fuck and run by money. Not like its sacred as it is, look at the state of things. Take it down and the researcher can try again with something that isnt a waste of everyones time thats going to fuel bigots.

Assuming this is true (because unlike some I dont just take Twitter posts at face value without any further thought), wouldnt that be a valid reason for activists to want something taken down, if its a transparent attempt to push an agenda rather than, you know, science? I dont know if thats actually the case, but thats the vibe I get from reading the link.

After reading the commment above me after initially posting this: yeah, a poll of 256 parents doesnt mean a damn thing, and positing Rapid onset gender dysphoria when the info you have is some parents think some things is pretty stupid, in my non-scientist opinion. Take that with a grain of salt.

The complete lack of self awareness and the general disgusting behavior displayed by some people in this topic would be funny if it werent so sad.

Darn feminists! Theyre bad because sexism isnt real! Now lets post their pictures as a joke, insult their appearance and weight, compare them to animals, and talk about how they arent sexually attractive enough for us!

Lord take me home, Im dying.

It honestly astounds me how people just live in some completely different world than I do. Ninety percent of this topic is absolutely ridiculous, and Im not talking about the OP or the article.

Id say you should be ashamed of yourselves but I doubt you have the capacity.
