I can't actually be sure if we are talking about the same thing since you haven't specified and I don't have time to dig up the one I mean at the moment.

Regardless, it doesn't take a genius to see the correlation every single day all over the place. This is not a mystery. It's a "duh" that maybe someday more studies will verify. Having studied Cluster B disorders for several years intensively myself, I will go with my assessment on this, which is that even whatever study you are thinking of likely is accurate even if unsatisfying.

The evidence is virtually drowning us at this point. So let's not kid ourselves.

Please do when you have the time. The one I was referring to (and was mentioned in r/LGBDropTheT before it was banned) had less than 100 subjects.Many r/LGBDroptheT members pointed then,that it was just a single study,with less than 100 subjects and we should not draw conclusions from a single study. I felt very proud of my LGBdropthet brothers and sisters then

Regardless, it doesn't take a genius to see the correlation every single day all over the place.

Good science is not a matter of "genius". Good science is a a matter of good methodology. You can be a genius and design a crappy experiment and draw totally false conclusions. And you can be a person of average intelligence and do your ground work and patiently examine all the potential co-factors and design a good experiment and give the correct answers.

Relying on personal experience and anecdotal evidence,is the best way to fool yourself.

I'm aware of all of the above, not in need of a lecture from you or anyone else, and now think the one fooling themselves is you. The thing is, dealing with this is a here and now situation. And that means understanding the odds, given the evidence, which we can well understand without waiting for confirmation, even when we don't have the science. It is a matter of self-defense and taking appropriate action here and now to deal with a real problem.

So I'm not sure why you are barking up this tree so piously right now but you definitely picked the wrong person to lecture about this. Stand down and consider the point being made instead of nitpicking a different one that will never be applicable to us dealing here and now with this issue. Thanks. When I warn people about this, it's because it's a bit of an emergency. We can be comforted by studies later. Right now, we have work to do. Are you engaged with that reality, or are you just here to poke holes for sport?
