Libs, walking straight into chud talking points and framing in a blissfully innocent attempt at "nuance" since...1650? Earlier? Fucked if I know they've always been this way.

The usual GC types are already making out-of-context clips.

Uphold TC69 thought, combat liberalism, We love and fight with our Trans Comrades!

    God she keeps talking about small sample sizes and no control groups but like, yeah! Trans people are a very tiny segment of the population, and the barriers to getting medical care are enormous! Of course that’s going to make scientific research difficult, but it’s not indicative of systematic incompetence in the field like she seems to imply.

    Also you cannot perform randomized double-blind studies on trans healthcare at all. Blinding is simply impossible when the results of successful treatment are supposed to be visible with the naked eye.

    And all of these problems should be immediately obvious to anybody who knows the tiniest bit about empirical science.

      I also fucking hate that "science" is used as the gatekeeper on whether trans people can get the care they want

      Scientists learn basic epistemology challenge: impossible.

      Seriously the average scientist will espouse pure Popperianism as unequivocally true...and then immediately switch to the verificationist model they actually use every day.
