Comment on Britain Is Leaving the U.S. Gender-Medicine Debate Behind
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 6 months agoYou think following the science is opposing the transgender movement? Evidence based medicine is the best approach. Now studies need to follow this to generate the evidence.
I was shocked at the changes that were happening in the past as they defied previous studies and evidence based medicine.
My only concern is there will be no follow up studies.

No.
Interesting take given the conservative stance on masks during the pandemic. The evidence for masks as nuanced and complicated, and yet, conservative insisted masks were wholly ineffective, which is just false.
In other words, I think “evidenced based medicine” is instrumental rather than a guiding principle for conservatives.
That’s why I said this study still doesn’t mean anyone should oppose the transgender movement.
Isn’t that the conclusion of this study? The evidence is largely inconclusive and it’s not certain.

Cloth mask are pretty ineffective. That isn’t a conservative take, that’s science. Conservatives just latched on to it but doesn’t change the science.

Case in point, which is beside the main one, which is that science doesn’t really matter here.

The science does matter. It just happened to match what the conservatives felt.
That is why Sweden did not enforce cloth masks. The science didn’t show them as effective.
