One of my favorite stories under the 'Things That Make You Go Hmmmm' banner is that time back in 2018 when UCLA researchers discovered that there may be brain scans to diagnose ACTUAL gender dysphoria. At the time it was hailed as a godsend to the trans community, b/c now we could easily diagnose true dysphoria and show who is (and crucially, who isn't) actually dysphoric. Problem solved!......right?!
But the huge study UCLA planned was shelved due to explosive and unexpected pushback from the trans community.
Now why would THAT be the case?🤔
Can you imagine cancer-advocacy groups aggressively pushing back on a much more effective way to diagnose cancer?
What could POSSIBLY be the reason they would find this so offensive that it had to be stopped before it could even be studied? 🙄

Don't get me wrong, I'm skeptical about the science behind this, it has the whiff of junk science, my point is how interesting it is how the trans community responded to the news that this was out there. Because if everything the trans community says about their identity is true (that it's a tangible, innate part of their authentic self) they would have greeted this news with glee and excitement. For the crowd that requires constant validation and affirmation it would be really bizarre to reject something that would give them scientific validation and affirmation of their claims.
The ironic thing is, the researchers working on this were probably woke activists themselves who thought they were doing something that would be good for the trans community, some form of academic virtue signalling. What they didn't realize is that the AGP's who run the transgender movement know that they aren't women and that even if there WAS a medical test for dysphoria, they would all fail it.

Whats your take on this issue Colin?
