What makes you think anyone can have access to objective reality? What makes you think a first assertion holds more weight than a second? What makes you think bubbles are not a thing? What makes you think certain phrases don't immediately betray how little someone knows about people outside of their bubble?
I know enough people outside of the heteronormative experience to know that nothing about playing with Barbies pushes people toward being trans. It's reminiscent of the classic "violent games make kids violent" line. That's not the case at all -- rather violent kids are attracted more to violent games. The causality is completely incorrect and displays an obvious naivete paired with a pre-existing ideological bias.

Because independent people agree, when independent sources of data agree on something, that means the thing they are agreeing on is (plausibly) larger than them, and that's what we call 'reality'. >What makes you think a first assertion holds more weight than a second? I don't. >What makes you think bubbles are not a thing? That's literally the opposite of what I said. >I know enough people outside of the heteronormative experience to know that nothing about playing with Barbies pushes people toward being trans. Cool, but you're missing the point that nobody claims that playing with Barbies, by itself, makes people trans. But rather what's being claimed is that certain people push the people who play Barbies into being trans, which is an entirely different thing. >obvious naivete paired with a pre-existing ideological bias You say this as if you don't have an obviously ample supply of those yourself.
