@MHandjuggery@GlenIrvine1@_celia_bedelia_ Where did you take that data from, the 2011 Swedish cohort study by Dhejne et al.?
Of which author has publicly and repeatedly stated her data is misused, explicitly confirming that trans women are not more violent or criminal than c1sgender men?
@Mistame69@Vaulden@ChairForce1@KellyScaletta 3. Merriam-Webster, Oxford, and Cambridge dictionaries are literally descriptive text corporas - they update their definitions purely based on data tracking organic, widespread, everyday usage by millions of people.
@GrumpyNCynical@Glinner For your statistical claim: According to US demographic data from the Williams Institute, roughly 1.5% of Black adults identify as trans, compared to only 0.9% of White adults.
Per capita, a Black person is actually more likely to be trans than a White person.
@GrumpyNCynical@Glinner For context if missed: Sex testing in elite sports historically targets and disqualifies **c1sgender** Black and brown women with natural hyperandrogenism.
@candycherryfem@Isabellazpug Neurological and psychological incongruence with one's assigned sex at birth.
Science doesn't define it by gender roles, that is how people choose to present themselves.
@crashxhydr0gen7@Isabellazpug Someone suffering is a tragedy, but it doesn't mean the treatment doesn't save the people who actually need it.
Science separates sex from gender for a reason, as, for instance, looking only at biological sex can actually lead medics to misdiagnose.
I can give examples.
@back2adhara@ThoughtD73600@Isabellazpug If my example didn't go through your thick skull yet, my idea is that you should judge a demographic based on that evidence-based expert knowledge, not on random fringe tweets.
Can you articulate how exactly what I said was wrong, or will you bark more?
@back2adhara@ThoughtD73600@Isabellazpug Medical consensus: a public statement on a particular aspect of medical knowledge that is generally agreed upon as the evidence-based, state-of-the-art knowledge by a representative group of experts in that area.
@ThoughtD73600@Isabellazpug Oh? What is truth?
Common sense, what you believe in?
How do you convince others of this "truth"? Any tangible way to measure and know you're getting close to this "truth"?
@ThoughtD73600@Isabellazpug Trans people believe in the medical consensus.
Let me use an example which should be easy to understand: Do you judge a religion based on random people who believe in it, or based on their main book?
