"The What We Know Project has recently moved to the Center for the Study of Inequality at Cornell University. We are an online research portal that marks a path-breaking convergence of scholarship, public policy and new media technology. Focusing on public policy debates around inequality"

Do you have studies made by computers?

They had their conclusion before their 'metastudy'

And since a metastudy is making a claim about what the research shows, not actual research...

yeah all of those are summaries

@JonPizza Well, the accuracy of a meta study is dependent on the accuracy of all the other studies cited. If each of the 73 studies cited are evaluated and show signs of being fundamentally flawed, then the conclusion of the meta study is completely bunk

Are you looking at these summaries? First one 'survey via the Internet and on paper", second 'non randomized sample' third '22 participants'

Based on Fondest's history of misinterpreting studies and general sleazyness, I doubt this meta study is actually accurate.

'metastudies' aren't more than whatever the person doing it wants to say, they picked what went in after all

It's as unscientific as you get because you start with the conclusion, not the question

No. Not always. Meta studies can be useful to compile the results of studies.

Nobody who understands what's going on claims that a meta study is deliberately a scientific study.

Also my study doesn't matter. Actions are morally neutral and you need to give a reason why something is bad, so she had burden of proof for suicide rates which I instantly explained was miscited

Oh please. shifting the goal posts

>actions are morally neutral

Thoughts on Hate crimes then?

Yeah, I can't grok it

Also, how often does 'was a transgender' get checked in the suicide report

Can anyone really have this number?

The citation you give is actually like 96 citations, of which I've already found a handful that dont support the claims made by the metastudy, but much of the info is paywalled

The metastudy doesn't even give a wellbeing definition

The burden of proof is on the people advocating irreversible surgeries

okay, so listening to the segment in question, there's some more misleading language used here

the conversation turned to transitioning *children* which your metastudy explicitly excludes

the data on children is *very* different

According to what he said on the call, the definition of 'well being' is answering yes when someone asks if you are okay.

That he can't figure out why that is laughable is legitimately concerning.

"you don't have to have gender dysphoria to be trans" - um yes you do.

Otherwise, gender is just a fashion choice

YUP

it is a set of social norms

tbh I think a lot of the gender debate is driven by an extremely autistic view of masculinity and femininity

and I dont mean autistic for the meme

example?

I think people are associating, for instance, "camp" or tomboyish behaviour as being "another gender"
this is actually corroborated, at least in children, by research

many children who "grow out" of dysphoria end up just being gay

there's also a potential "social" aspect to symptoms of gender dysphoria

with ROGD

yes it is a good thing we do thing to harm them if they decide against transitioning

wot
