I was reacting to the statement that a medical condition implies a cure.  It may imply that there could be one but it doesn't imply that there is.

How much more would they need to do before the principle of charity finally runs out on them?

I don't clearly see the option that seems most likely to me:  the deep desire to be seen as "cool" or "intelligent".  These people will switch to whatever reddit/the paper/hollywood tells them is the new truth, no matter what it is.


And the one that kills me the most is:


t: "I'm a woman born in a man's body!"


t: :does something very masculine:


p: "Uh, that didn't seem very lady like"...


t: "You just have a wrong stereotype about what women are really like!"


...  At which point I'm asking myself how anyone can "feel like a woman" if a woman can be literally anything.  Maybe this holds for men as well and they actually just feel like a non-stereotypical man?

I think the solution is pretty simple here: if you're white and the suspect is black, simply do not go.  Announce you see some other crime in progress (e.g. littering, jay walking, etc.) and are unable to respond.  There is no upside for the cop and only potential downside.  I'd quit before I'd go to confront someone I'm not legally able to arrest.

Even in the current environment the studies are so bad that the meta analysis is worthless.  Junk in, junk out.

The experts may not be malicious as such but it's interesting to note that medical professionals always seem to determine, after much sincere consideration, that the most expensive possible procedure is always required.  If you go in with back pain they will find a disk out of alignment if you're over 35 or so and that will be the motivation they give for recommending back surgery despite no correlation between surgery and reduction of pain and no correlation between unaligned disks and pain.
