Heya I got booted off as a dangerous gay man because I don't believe the genderhype. I didn't even say anything, not out to insult anyone. Just don't believe in irrational ideological conformity

The Denial of Death by Ernst Becker is highly recommended

I disagree. I have family in several countries and I have no reason to doubt them. How would the democrats create a worldwide hoax and why would some countries fair better than others? My perception is that Anglo-American exceptionalism and the general monoglotism of English speaking nations has blinded the UK and the US to sensible action. In both cultures the idea of the mask versus freedom has been rife and it has been absurd. Thousands of people have died, and the flu wave this winter will kill many survivors who have suffered lung damage.

My question is what are the measures by which you would count something as a rational factual claim? Peer reviewed journal citation? Repeatable results via repeatable experiment? Widely accepted truths? I ask because there are elements of censorship that we all use in order to verify and then share accurate information and one of them is counting on each other not to lie about or or misrepresent the accuracy of information being shared.

In your original post you claim these facts are undeniably true. Do you still stand by that? Thank you for the link, I am interested to read more.

Very specifically regarding this claim and evidence for example it says "99.8% of lesbian, gay and bisexual teens will change their sexual orientation within 13 years. Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26048483" but when you click on the study and read the abstract it says that same-sex attraction remains stable or becomes more stable in adulthood. So this is an example of the claim and source being at odds with one another. Should I just accept all of these as having been fact checked and or from peer reviewed sources?

Are these peer reviewed? Otherwise they're basically equivalent to opinions. I looked at one study that was supposed to support the idea that 99.8 percent of gays and bisexuals changed their orientation back to heterosexual within 13 years and the Abstract of the study said verbatim: "Results indicated that same-sex attractions became more stable over time, whereas both-sex attraction remained unstable even into adulthood" which is not the same as gay and bisexual people changing their orientation back to straight within 13 years. I haven't looked at them all, but it's a lot of information to go through and check, it might take me some time.
