I understand why you might be upset based on how they made a rather sweeping statement about the comments without addressing any content. When they said "a bunch of sanctimonious people with too much appreciation for their own thoughts and a lack of any semblance of basic behaviour" it might strike many as an attack on the user base, but I'm choosing to interpret it through the lens of simply being upset at people who are not nice. I could be wrong, and perhaps @[email protected] can elaborate on exactly who and what they were talking about.

Regardless, let's try our best to treat them in good faith. Don't let your own biases shape how you interpret people or their language. Please try to ask clarifying questions first before jumping to the assumption that they are a right wing troll.

Hey fam, starting with this reply its pretty clear you're not engaging in good faith - this statement is fundamentally accusatory. It's unsurprising that other folks viewed this as an attack. Please chill out, treat users with good faith, and do your best to avoid escalating things - you should gut check your own comments and ask yourself "how will others view this? Is this helpful?" and if the answer is no, rewrite your comment or don't reply.

not wrong

That's really not how NIH grants work

I remember seeing a study once which showed regret about gender transition at about 6%.

Meta-analyses almost always put the figure at closer to 1%. It is one of the least regretted things that humans do. To provide a comparison figure, education regret tends to hover closer to 40% and parenting at 10%.

It has already extensively been studied and it has always shown that it has the least amount of regret of any surgeries, and that transgender people regret transitioning at rates often literal magnitudes lower than just about anything else people regret in their lives - children, tattoos, marriage, education, romance, leisure.

For more on how marginalized people are under-diagnosed with autism and why, I highly recommend picking up the book "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price.

yea fair enough

I mean, yeah? Are things so bad this isn't obvious?

That's just cherrypicking. Yes some people will review bomb. Others will make fake positive reviews to counteract people review bombing a game for being too "woke".

In the end the only thing that even could matter is how people in aggregate work - and that's easy to account for, you just readjust the distribution to be more spread out to get the "true" score of things.

This video seems more like clickbait than anything. I'm finding it hard to find anything worthwhile to engage with here even from a high level.

That's not even worth addressing or bringing up, because they don't understand science. It's better to just call them racist, for being racist, because that's what is happening here... racism

From another article on the same issue:

Buried within the list of issues is a reference to a display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The display, the executive order complains, "claims that 'sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism' and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."
