I thought we did science on here. Pointing out specific examples in a population when the topic is about the average is counter-productive. Kind of a logical fallacy there.

There's a reason that sports are separated by sex. There's a reason why men are the perpetrators and victims of most crime.

And women are more nurturing on average, which is why they should stay home and take care of the kids. It's genetics.

Suffice it to say, I don't buy that this is all a good argument for why people shouldn't be allowed to transition.

Nobody said it was an argument for that thank you very much.

But it is bad science to point out individuals in a population as the rule rather than exceptions to the rule.
