Sociologists seem perfectly suited to that kind of study.

What makes Biggs a "known transphobe"? Sounds like mere ad hominem.

Peer review doesn't automatically mean much.

Even I can immediately spot a flaw in the study: they made a survey with self-selected respondents, and asked about suicidal ideation. That way, they missed people who already committed suicide, or who may be too depressed to respond.

Oh, look, instead of looking for actual evidence, you double down on trying to justify the choice of a known transphobic activist. Google a bit deeper. Of course, given your growing number of comments in this thread flagged for your own transphobic responses it's not surprising.

The only evidence YOU have given is "x is transphobic", and I gave you arguments why that isn't even true.

Can you give any actual arguments against Biggs criticism?

My comments being flagged is merely a good indicator for what the real mass hysteria is. Ironic, given that "they ban books" is one of the most prominent arguments by the trans ideology crowd.

There are plenty of info in Google results. The fact that you claim to have done Google searches while coming up with one you chose to dismiss and have ignored all the others makes it clear you are committed to ignoring it and not actually trying to learn anything.

Your comments are being flagged because you're contributing to hysteria and bigotry. This will be my last response to your bigotry.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
