“Conversion therapy”. The dope knows the script supplied by the alphabet mafia. Too bad they don’t want to actually help these confused kids. Jazz is doing great.TheKobeStopper said:

Your italicized review says it all, really. When anyone questions the orthodoxy, dismiss them and declare the work trash. Double extra bonus points for the word problematic. That's usually a sign to not take someone seriously. Was this written by an 8th grader?TheKobeStopper said:
When you characterize as a “horrible mean book” to mock the criticism of it, is this the criticism you’re referring to?hardhat said:This isn't the first time @TheKobeStopper has selective outrage and distorted something that is a serious topic with many nuances and not a real black/white issue that we can all see. Abigail Shrier's horrible mean book highlights the biggest issue, some of these kids may be getting peer pressure or their hyperpolicitized and ultrawoke parents are turning to therapy instead of figuring out what's wrong with them. If anything, these super mean laws are to protect a child from making a life altering decision. A lot of people in the transgender community wish they had counseling BEFORE going through with something they might want to walk back. I'm not surprised that you're being so aggressive about this, but it just shows your lack of knowledge and nuance, as with most issues.
The book title alone is inflammatory and misleading, and clearly intended to alarm concerned parents, the target demographic for Shrier’s book. Shrier uses emotional language throughout to appeal to the reader. Her book presents a mix of anecdotal reports, opinion pieces, and minimal cited research. The studies she cites are either misinterpreted or cherry-picked to only include those experts she deems reputable, all of whom have a problematic track record in transgender health and research. Her “Select Bibliography”, an annotated version of which is included as an appendix to this post, lists resources that are equally problematic.
Just to be clear, you view questioning a lack of sourcing, anecdotal evidence, opinions in an academic book, as crying that it’s “mean”?
To be clear, no amount of sourcing would satisfy you, only capitulation. You have the same immature complaints about Andy Ngo, because once again, he presents reality to your little group.
Great thread, and thanks.

I think you are ashamed to have posted that. In this tweet, you appear to be equating one person allegedly being a fan of someone you disagree with to mean, what exactly?TheKobeStopper said:

“not a right winger”
Apparently at some point in time you were also a fan of UW sports, which should tell us what exactly about UW sports, or everyone else that is?
And I think Race answered that for you below.
I'll be charitable and point out that Abigail Shrier isn't some quack and is certainly qualified to write about the topic of your latest tantrum.
People also dismiss Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Markary, Tracy Hoeg even though they are doctors and qualified to speak but because they disagree with them. And the more we know about little lovable Antifa, the more we appreciate someone like Andy Ngo, the little gay asian dude (someone you should probably check your privilege about). -
