Being the same sex as someone who needs help with mental health doesn't magically make you a qualified therapist/psychiatrist for them.

This is a ridiculous statement.

I suspect that women aren’t dating conservative men

Well, there are plenty of conservative women too, so that can't tell the whole story, can it?

Looks like conservative men and liberal women are in similar boats, statistically:

In broad terms, there are only 0.6 single liberal young men for each single liberal young woman; likewise, only 0.5 single conservative young women exist for every conservative young man. Statistically, in other words, about half of these ideologically minded young singles face the prospect of failing to find a partner who shares their politics.

This implies the liberal men are dating the conservative women, lol.

study people’s past opinions

Whether someone has previously attempted suicide is not an opinion. Holy shit, lol.

What this means is that you’re misremembering some study, are quoting a right wing hit piece, or are just pulling shit out of your ass.

Whatever fantasy lets you feel like you're the superior being, I guess. But actual good faith discussion, you clearly have no interest in, so I'll leave you to your fuming.

Hope you improve.

By the way, re

How in the world are you going to have a study with any kind of statistical reliability, when you are polling trans people WHO ARE IN THE FUCKING CLOSET??!!

You do understand what those words mean, do you not? You’re talking about people who are not out. You’re talking about people who are not publicly out as trans. So obviously you can’t poll these people when trying to survey the trans population.

Did it ever occur to you that trans people who are now out can share their experiences from before they were out? This is like saying you can't learn anything about childhood experiences by talking to adults.

"Just think about for a second. Actually THINK about it man!"

Jorge Hirsch, the creator of the h-index asserts that a “successful scientist” will have an h-index of 20 after 20 years; an “outstanding scientist” will have an index of 40 after 20 years; and a “truly unique individual” will have an index of 60 after 20 years or 90 after 30 years. Jordan Peterson has an h-index of 57.

His academic work had been cited well over 10,000 times before he became a publicly-known figure in 2016.

He obviously isn't a quack in the field of psychology, by any objective measure.

So you're referring to the bit that I explicitly stated right at the top, that I didn't readily have a source link for?

You're doubling down on looking foolish by angrily calling me deceptive while showing proof that I wasn't.

Also, what you linked doesn't contradict the particular data point I emphasized in what I read, as it doesn't compare suicidality between closeted and out trans people; it only compares the second and third groups I mentioned in my comment.

When it comes to the topics where there is overlap, my remembered source agrees with what you linked: that for trans people who are out, support is, obviously, going to reduce suicidality more than than lack of support.

The interesting/unexpected data point was that the rate was lower among trans people who never come out, than for either subset of trans people who have come out.

Calling me transphobic for mentioning that I read something that contradicts a commonly-held assumption, is toxic and anti-intellectual. If you want to disregard it because I can't back it up, that's perfectly understandable (hence my prefaced disclaimer, in the first place!), but there's no call for the hostility, at all. Relax.

As for me, I know what I read, and I'm confident I'm remembering it properly too because, guess what, it surprised me too, like I said! That's what made it stick with me for years, despite not having immediately meticulously recorded where I read it.

EDIT: You may also note that I drew literally ZERO conclusions based on said data point, only remarking on the apparent complexity it introduces to the topic.

Yes, it was, but phonetically, it was "R", lol

Bullying is not less widespread than it was before 2008. Anecdotally, I have two kids in high school and bullying is rife, it seems the environment in school is exactly as it was 30 years ago. This is the general consensus between myself, other parents and education/healthcare professionals that I’ve spoken to.

Well, here is some data I found that contradicts that, and supports my assertion, after doing a quick search:

In 2021–22, about 19 percent of students ages 12–18 reported being bullied during school, which was lower than the percentage who reported this in 2010–11 (28 percent).

The years don't line up absolutely perfectly, but 28% to 19% in a post-2008 ~10 year period is a 32% drop, if I did my math correctly.

You may want to try pulling your glasses out of your ass and actually reading what I wrote.

I cited the source I used for the first part (the two quoted bits), and prefaced the thing I didn't have a source for (forgive me for not meticulously recording the source of every single interesting thing I read forevermore) by saying straight-up that I didn't, before even saying what it said.

I still hear in my mind, with perfect clarity "a mother in R", lol

That's an infant compared to the aged OP, lol
