Those are completely orthogonal. If I want to know what my chances of survival are having had some horrific treatment I ask my doctor. If I want an opinion on whether the pain of the treatment justifies the upside then I'd be better asking someone experiencing it. Going back to the original point, I said my opinion as a white-cis-straigh-male carry less weight than someone who is part of those groups.

I'm not sure why so many people feel I should have more blind faith in my own opinion; I said nothing about the weight of their opinion.
