There are literally no mainstream linguists that support linguistic determinism, the 'strong' form of linguistic relativity. [1] That much is 100% true; sure, you see articles about it pop up from time to time, but they're often not written by linguists, and are often quickly debunked. As to the 'unpublished studies', that one was by Boroditsky, one of the, if not the, main proponents for the weak form of linguistic relativity. But, your anecdotal experience doesn't really count for much when comparing it to the studies that have been done on it. Anecdotally, I know someone who didn't believe General Relativity to be true; that doesn't make it any less true.
