Like with the trend of social justice these days I dunno if pedo is going to stay a mental disorder in the DSM. Like a secret group of gays in the 70's collaborated to change the definition of sexual deviance in the DSM and they succeeded. I learned about it from a NPR podcast so it’s not anything right leaning as far as I know. “Alix’s story details the activities of a closeted group of gay psychiatrists within the APA who met in secret and called themselves the GAYPA” So who knows if there’s not a secret pedo-qabal working to change the definition again. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/204/81-words

I'd actually like to see a pie chart of that if you can conjure one

Among all U.S. adults aged 18 and
over, 96.6% identified as straight, 1.6%
identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7%
identified as bisexual. The remaining
1.1% of adults identified as ‘‘something
else’’ (0.2%), selected ‘‘I don’t know the
answer’’ (0.4%), or refused to provide
an answer (0.6%).

CDC, 2014. Owing to social trends, probably an uptick in 'identifications'.

Also, bisexuality isn't real

I'm just saying

I'm actually kinda surprised it's 1/20 people is gay

it's a category greatly informed by trauma or lifetime phase

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1556756/ re: pedophilia

I would have said like 1/50 or 1/100 in experience

though I'm not in a big city

yeah; well I think it's actually closer to 1%, but I pulled CDC because people believe in those figures

so at the top end, it's 2%, including all the alphabet characters

_"phallometric test sensitivities"_

wut

lol

Like

DICK MEASURE TEST

someone had to do the signal analysis for that

like no joke

big time

the academies truly have poisoned language

dude, i laughed my ass off during graduate school

instead of "um" or "uh"

people's buffering sound was "that's problematic"

no one says what they mean and no one believes what they say

I just want to see the math of how they did the test

like threshold

how did they normalize

like

I think it was sample groups; but were they cities?

rural / urban balance

I mean like what sensor did they use

the nitty gritty

or flippy floppy in this case

Yeah weakening of language is a thing

Have a good one! Going to be a crazy week.
