    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.
