A cursory examination of the Twitter link you posted shows a hell of a lot of people explaining this is bad science, that the methodology was flawed, and clearly biased. Assuming this is true (because unlike some I dont just take Twitter posts at face value without any further thought), wouldnt that be a valid reason for activists to want something taken down? There are a lot of flawed and bad articles out there with poor science done, yet they remain published and existing for the world to see. This one should be no different. Instead of deleting such work from the world, we should instead preserve them for their flaws. Im willing to bet most of those wont be latched into by bigots, trolls, and religious fanatics to prove their stupid points. I dont really care about high minded principles, I care about the practical effects of things like this, frankly. Its not like the scientific pursuits arent already broken as fuck and run by money. Not like its sacred as it is, look at the state of things. Take it down and the researcher can try again with something that isnt a waste of everyones time thats going to fuel bigots. --- It's a luscious mix of words and tricks, that let us bet, when we know we should have folded. 3DS Friend Code: 3952-7649-7276 <cite>Zonbei posted [p:907677960] in Transgende...
