So I wrote a short article about mental illness. In particular, about why I think that people who are open about their mental disorders are being sincere. Comorbidity is the expected situation after all, as evidenced by genetic correlations.
This looks really fun, so let's. https://t.co/YDmDZaW3g7

For a very long time, everyone was certain that high quality (i.e., GRADE term) research would find evidence of no benefit from trans people’s transitioning.
In retrospect, it’s ever increasingly obvious how unrealistic this assumption was.
*Sigh* I feel like an idiot: deceived
@Hatcorn@trollivertree@KaskaJessica TERFs and GCs aren't interested in actual evidence, facts or science. This whole nonsense from Rowling proves that. You're only against a scientific trial because you want to be able to use the 'lack of evidence' indefinitely as an excuse against gender affirming care.
Okay… Over the last few weeks, my timeline has been flooded with trans-critical (is that what it's called? Idk) stuff.
I know that trans stuff is a niche subject, but I'm very annoyed by what I've been recently seeing, so this is a thread venting about some aspects of it. 1/15
…transgenderism isn't" is particularly funny. Do these people not know the heritability of homosexuality?
In summary, everything I've seen recently has made it clear that trans-critical is indefensible at this point. It's also all over my timeline, which is very annoying. 14/15
… (2) deny that heritability is a population-statistic, (3) claim that heritability is calculated by MZT correlations alone, (4) claim that prenatal hormones affect MZ twins in the same way, (5) deny that studies of TRT can measure the variation explained by the home… 7/15
…fair way to move into talking about how trans-critical people misrepresent obvious concepts. Twin studies are the most blatant example of this.
I have seen trans-critical people (1) deny that twin studies are used to measure heritability… 6/15
