Results: Both experiences of being bullied and perpetrating bullying were more commonly reported by transgender youth than by cisgender youth. Among transgender youth, all involvement in bullying was more commonly reported by non-binary youth than those identifying with the opposite sex. Logistic regression revealed that non-binary identity was most strongly associated with involvement in bullying, followed by opposite sex identity and cisgender identity. Transgender identities were also more strongly associated with perpetration of bullying than subjection to bullying.

Read that last bit again and the pause for the conclusion the author is about to make.

Conclusion: Transgender identity, especially non-binary identity, is associated with both being bullied and perpetrating bullying even when a range of variables including internal stress and involvement in bullying in the opposite role are taken into account. This suggests that bullying during adolescence may serve as a mechanism of maintaining heteronormativity.

Yes sure, bullying was invented to maintain heteronormativity. THAT'S THE FUCKING CONCLUSION YOU COME TO?

Yeah, I went through that article like "Uhuh, sure, no surprise, checks out, obviously, WAIT WHAT?"

Why would nonbinary people be bullies if it is a mechanism for maintaining heteronormativity??

Because society made them do it by not celebrating them enough.

Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.

It's back to Foucault and the idea that everyone is a blank slate and would be pansexual and non-binary if not beaten down into submitting to the cis-heteropatriarchy.

B-but...who is forcing people into ill-fitting boxes in the first place? Isn't it just biology leading us there?

Isn't it just biology leading us there?

Biology? That's heresy!

Seriously, when I was in grad school surrounded by a whole bunch of blank-slate believers, citing biology as the cause of anything would generate angry denunciations in response.

The truth is that, yes, some things are hard-wired. Like temperament, probably.

When in fact it's abused and bullied people who are most likely to be pansexual and have a personality disorder because they lack healthy boundaries or a strong sense of self.

Jesus Christ anything to keep these little narcissists from taking a molecule of responsibility for their actions.

Notice they still call this guy an "anti-trans activist" because he had the nerve to suggest some trans people are bullies.

This is how scientists get their papers accepted.

You write an abstract that is favorable to the narrative and a discussion or conclusion that is favorable to the narrative - but your data and results say the exact opposite.

Many papers during corona was like that: "More research is needed to shed light on the risk benefit analysis and we recommend the vaccine"

I had a laugh reading your comment, good job.

All those enbies bullying other kids to make them cis, it's totally a thing.

So, more likely to be bullied, and more likely to be bullies too. Can't say this is surprising, but studies that confirm expectations are useful too.
