It is such a shame that real research cannot be carried out in this field at all. I don't mean research biased toward one side or the other, but proper research based on objective rules. So all we have is anecdotal evidence from social media.

It could theoretically be done, but TRAs regard any research into the field that doesn’t explicitly align with their dogma from the get-go as oppression and actively seek to shut it down. I can’t think of any other religion that has that kind of power, even extending into mainstream academia.
