Yes, they are statistics.  That doesn't mean they're related statistics.  

The murder rate and the ice-cream-sales rate both look similar when graphed out.  That doesn't mean they're related.  

This is literally the first lesson you learn about statistics in grade school.

Uh huh,

Keep reaching

Yes, like the statistics I posted. 

You're learning.

You used them in EXACTLY that way.

hehehe, especially when the guy making that determination is a victim of the statistics

The guy making that determination was Socrates, I don't think he's weighing in anytime soon.

I was talking about you refusing to accept something that contradicts your views

That isn't what's happening. 

You are correct that more Zoomers use social media and that more Zoomers identify as LGBT.  

Those two facts do not prove your assertion that they are causally linked.

More people aged 65+ use landlines than any other generation.

More people aged 65+ voted for Trump than any other generation.

Does this prove that landlines cause people to vote for Trump?

 

More people aged 65+ use social media than do landlines.

What's your point again?

Whoa!  You mean things exist out of 2 isolated data points and we shouldn't just hastily draw conclusions from the first 2 data points that get thrown at us?

Look, dippy, Younger people are more driven by social media trends while older people use social media as primarily a means of news and communication. While I can't discount the influence of Social Media on news, Social Media mostly supports already existing political beliefs.

Bottom line is more young people identify as Trans because it is a trend that capitalizes on kids who feel they need more acceptance in general and seek out any social groups they can find. Period. It's what drew me to associating more with the darker side kids, the troublemakers, etc when I couldn't find acceptance from the popular social groups in high school.

So, it was the other kids' fault you were an asshole?

This is not correct.  It just isn't.  Studies have looked into this kind of thing and debunked it.

You.  Are.  Wrong.

That go all TWD on you, what are you trying to imply that a collection of doctors whose very income depends on a steady flow of young trans people are disputing what I believe to be true?

well, I can’t even believe it!

So you've stopped letting your daughter take medication or go to therapy, right?  

Her pharmacists and therapists get paid, after all.

She’s not trans but pretty cool false equivalency failure

It's not a false equivalency.  If gender-affirming care- something that is incredibly rare- corrupts doctors into abandoning their oath then you have to believe the same is true of all medicine.

No because everyone needs doctors for the common malady's that almost all of us suffer from. There will always be a need for Cardiologists, allergists, physical therapists, prenatal doctors and nurses, general practitioners, you name it but doctors who specialize in Trans issues have a much shallower pool to fish from. Why would they impeded their sources of revenue?

If there are people specializing in gender-affirming care, they already ARE impeding their sources of revenue by choosing to specialize in a field as small as gender-affirming care.
