@Mommydusa @sciam@hankgreen Ugh. This was worded very poorly. Comparison** not control
Why compare cis to trans. Why not compare trans who underwent affirming with trans that did not undergo affirming of any kind. Then compare both to the cis control group at different time frames.
@Mommydusa @sciam@hankgreen What about the other points?
If they’re comparing someone who wants to transition to treat dysphoria with someone who has transitioned for the same reason… why on earth would they use Cis people who don’t suffer from dysphoria as the control? It’s bizarre.
@CMDR_indyjacob @Mommydusa @sciam@hankgreen There’s no proof of scientific consensus here.. It’s a journalist remarking on a blog post collating parts of abstracts. Even if there was ⬇️ …Read through the studies. Half of them don’t support the other half.
@MelonieMac I just think the types of individuals that choose to be vegan are ‘often’ of a political persuasion that is influenced by far left ideas. They’re Woke.. CRT and Post Colonial Theory identifies Judeo Christian values and Enlightenment ideas as white supremacy. 🤪 They’re.. unwell
@climatebrad@RMConservative Qualify ling for finance is one obstacle, but I’d say the harder obstacle is the waiting list for direct purchases. Good thought but he wasn’t 18 long enough for this idea to pan out.
@Carolyn4546@RMConservative@pepesgrandma He just turned 18. The items in question cost more than $6k. Two top tier AR-15s, scopes, (alleged pistol) and ammo. First credit lines are typically $300-$500. Good thought.. but he probably had a steal and sell scheme going if he didn’t have financial help.
@gmiller @TheClassicalCon I’ve seen some studies quoted in the media saying as much. That’s the extent of what I know. But I have often wondered, does it have an impact on mentally ill people? Or am I splitting hairs about the type of person who is essentially destined for darkness?
@katherinekane74@kylegriffin1 The filibuster was used 314 times against Trump. 😂 never imagined so many people wouldn’t mind cutting off their noses to spite their own face.
@bwalling @supyoscn@kylegriffin1 There are more gun restrictions now then in 1972, the gun numbers are roughly the same (actually lower per household even), AR-15s are mechanically and functionally identical to hunting rifles. These two guns function the same ⬇️ and the NRA is shrinking. What should they do?
@outinspace76 @washingtonpost A privately owned gun killed the shooter... Another interesting detail is there really aren’t more guns per person since 1972 but there are more gun restrictions. Despite this mass shootings continue to increase in frequency all while the NRA shrinks.
@1NellyNelle@washingtonpost The officers went into the school to retrieve their own kids immediately amid gunfire… then blocked the entrances tasing and handcuffing any parents that tried to do the same. 😐 The border patrol officer was off duty and armed with something squad cars keep in the trunk.
@BoggisNews@TheAtlantic@MollyJongFast You must be young enough not to have been an adult then.. His shtick was mocking the evangelical right and their sanctimonious Political Correctness and forced orthodoxy of opinion. He was a left wing champion of free speech. I guess that has become an oxymoron now 😂 amazing
