      Fucking lol

      The doctors who research this stuff for a living are biased

      Science is biased

      Reality is biased

      You’re a regressive who hates that reality disagrees with you and would prefer to live in a fantasy world of your own making

        Uh, calm down mate. Maybe you think you’re replying to somebody else? A doctor making their living from providing transgender healthcare is absolutely a biased party, as is any researcher choosing to focus on this topic. That’s reflexivity, it’s quite important to acknowledge.

          Buddy that’s like saying you won’t listen to physicists about gravity because they’re biased

          Researching and reporting on scientific realities isn’t bias

          It’s stating the truth

            You would definitely need to acknowledge a physicist’s bias towards the theory they have chosen to research. That’s absolutely a thing! I’m not saying anything controversial here. I don’t even like sociology very much, reflexivity is boring and over-emphasised but it’s a legitimate issue, and it’s a big issue in transgender medicine. Which people are very keen to point out when the research doesn’t agree with their own position.
