TERFs crash London Pride

"Of the 317 murder victims, 102 had their professions recorded. About half of these were sex workers; a notoriously dangerous line of work."

So as few as 16% were sex workers, and I'd suspect that that status was far more likely to be reported than others.

So as much as 84% were sex workers, and I'd suspect that status was far less likely to be reported than others.

You haven't got a clue what my job entails, so your immature sarcasm is pointless.

It doesn't matter what the specific job details are, you shouldn't have failed that.

Er no - half of 102 is 51.

 

[caveman1917]

Er no - half of 102 is 51.

Total: 317
Known sex workers: 51
Known not-sex workers: 51
Unknown profession: 215

Minimum possible percentage of sex workers: 51/317 = 16%
Maximum possible percentage of sex workers: (51 + 215)/317 = 84%

Now how about you actually show how this data "demolishes JJ's claim" as you asserted.

Medicalising and pathologising childhood distress in the name of transgender identity:

A child abuse scandal to define an era

You're the only anti-capitalist "TERF" I've encountered.

There is the idea to change the acronym if people find TERF objectionable

Feminism
Appropriating
Reactionary
Transphobe.

Bollocks.

You wanting to think I somehow "failed" doesn't make it so.

Well, you did quite literally fail to analyze the information beyond the url initially.

It is not original to me unfortunately.

No, I just didn't bother, not least because the flaws in it had already been pointed out by others. Nobody had pointed out the imbecility of thinking that Mumsnet was a reliable source, so I did.

If you're talking about the PLOS article, Brown University says:

But that's exactly what they would say if they were being controlled by a shadowy conspiracy of trans activists. That's how shadowy conspiracies work, after all.

Interesting. A study comparing Massachusetts cities with and without gender discrimination laws, and the same cities after statewide gender discrimination lows took effect, found there was no change in bathroom-related crimes, in matched cities before the statewide bill, or in the same cities after the bill. It appears that the whole "male predators dressed as women" excuse for bathroom bills and the current anti-trans outrage has no basis in reality.

I suppose one could interpret it that the "male predators in dresses" were there and being arrested in the same numbers before transgender rights, but in that case, the conclusion would be that the laws are already catching them, so why would you need to take away someone else's rights?

It will be interesting to see what reasons are forthcoming for why this study is biassed, hateful and so on, and so must be discounted.

You know the tow the line is strong when someone nominates a fart joke.

The "American College of Pediatricians" is really not a legitimate organization. See: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-...es-gays-and-lesbians-name-protecting-children

eta: and the only journal that article got published in was this one:

It seems the American College of Pediatricians has around 500 members, as opposed to the American Academy of Pediatrics with 64,000.
