@_thedochimself_ @dTorchiano @APompliano They might have more wealth than majority of the world's population, but they also live in a country where even the necessities are so expensive that they can't afford them. They are "poor" relative to the environment that they're in.
@trollqueen19@DouglasKMurray I don't like the oppression olympics, so I don't particularly care if that is the case. My point (as I mentioned elsewhere) is that the article cherry picked the murder stats, while ignoring the other stats about abuse and all since only the former supports the article's thesis.
@mbone211@DouglasKMurray I know that, I was only adding the context to the statistics I'm talking about (as mentioned in the sources). Doesn't change the main point that the source clearly mentioned the higher rates of hate crime and abuse and neither the article nor Douglas bothered to mention that.
@franklincrick@DouglasKMurray I'm only going off the stats given in the article's sources since I'm not familiar with UK stats generally. The point is to show that the article has cherry picked the parts of the sources that support its thesis, and ignore the rest.
@DouglasKMurray I don't want to believe you're genuinely transphobic, but tweets such as this really make it difficult. If you have a problem with some aspects of trans activism, you don't need to try and prove the WHOLE movement's a lie and instead try to reach middle ground.
@DouglasKMurray The fact-check article that this figure is from literally concludes with this:
"Until we have those official statistics, we should handle the data we do have with care. Anyone that tells you this is clear-cut โ on either side of this often vexed debate โ is wrong."
@ChrisWillx I don't know about impartial, but can you bring on a skeptic as well as an activist (would be fun if both are educated in the field) and have them battle it out?
I know babe. A lot of countries wonโt let ppl work w/o the vaccine. Iโd def recommend they get the vaccine. They have to feed their families. Iโm sure Iโll b vaccinated as well cuz I have to go on tour, etc.
@jhazzard7650 @michaelshermer Anti-pedos don't directly advocate for policies that would feed into the problem. We don't just condemn, but we also make sure we aren't INCREASING the problem.
@jhazzard7650 @michaelshermer There are very clear solutions we have to combat high abortion rates, so if you want to condemn it, you should also focus on the solutions. Its weird when pro life conservatives are standing DIRECTLY AGAINST the things that would reduce abortion rates effectively.
@MclachlanCece@theLUCASTDS@clairlemon The consensus on how contagious COVID is hasn't changed in over a year. I don't know about your claim about COVID deaths, but yes, it is possible that in some places the records might be inaccurate. But mortality rates are similar worldwide, so I lean towards believing them.
