I'm very familiar with gender dysphoria research, and I'm also familiar with the endless stream of vitriol (but no actual scientific refutation as far as I have seen) against people like Blanchard, Bailey, Lawrence et al. as soon as they say something that doesn't fit the political objectives of the activists.
My interest isn't with the politics, it's with the science, which does seem like it's well within the scope of Hacker News.
- pvg 9y agoit's with the science, which does seem like it's well within the scope of Hacker News. Maybe you should write a blog post about that and post that to HN and see how it does instead of hijacking completely unrelated threads with deliberately incendiary comments. You did that and it's lame as is trying to hide behind 'science' or the scope oh HN.
- GFischer 9y agoI'd actually encourage yipopov to do that, and I hope it doesn't get flagged and some interesting discussion arises from it... Sam Altman very recently posted about being more comfortable discussing controversial ideas such as this one! http://blog.samaltman.com/e-pur-si-muove http://blog.samaltman.com/e-pur-si-muove
