>Existing research depicts intergroup prejudices as deeply ingrained, requiring intense intervention to lastingly reduce. Here, we show that a single approximately 10-minute conversation encouraging actively taking the perspective of others can markedly reduce prejudice for at least 3 months. We illustrate this potential with a door-to-door canvassing intervention in South Florida targeting antitransgender prejudice. Despite declines in homophobia, transphobia remains pervasive. For the intervention, 56 canvassers went door to door encouraging active perspective-taking with 501 voters at voters’ doorsteps. A randomized trial found that these conversations substantially reduced transphobia, with decreases greater than Americans’ average decrease in homophobia from 1998 to 2012. These effects persisted for 3 months, and both transgender and nontransgender canvassers were effective. The intervention also increased support for a nondiscrimination law, even after exposing voters to counterarguments.
gender studies are neither science nor math. discuss it in the dedicated board for lgbt discussions
Alexander Adams
Tell that to the editors at Science, arguably the most prestigious journal out there.
Jonathan Gomez
So which branch of science that uses scientific method studies gender stuff ? Explain with scientific examples and peer review studies.
Grayson Campbell
There is an example right there in the OP.

Answer the question retard. You said lgbt garage was science. Now prove it by explaining which branch of science that uses scientific method studies transgender stuff ? Explain with scientific examples and peer review studies.

>Psychology Not a science. The same experiment conducted by a different group would likely result in different data. Psychology has a greater than 50% fail rate in experimental replication.
Matthew Campbell
I just gave you an example. Stay mad.
Lincoln Myers
There's literally a peer reviewed study in the op. Are you fucking blind or just a stupid shitposter? >muh hard science only >n-n-no girls allowed Fuck off, it's clearly a scientific study

Grayson Allen
Arguably sociology, but that's barely science.
Hudson Martinez
Nothim, but someone posted some interesting links on /pol/ recently. Apparently the brain activity of a transexual is more similar to the opposite gender than their own.
Logan Miller
I don't think you know what the word "science" means if you think going door-to-door in one specific neighborhood asking a bunch of people to be nice constitutes science.
Cameron Thomas
Reality disagrees with you, as evidenced by the editorial decisions at Science. If the scientific method has been applied, like in the current study, then it is science by definition. Moreover, the fact that this got published in Science of all journals implies that it isn't just science, but rigorous science as well.
Grayson Cook
Science publishes a lot of junk like any other journal. Remember they're a business, non-profit is a silly meme.
Luis Cook
They literally are non-profit, as opposed to Nature Publishing Group.
Evan Roberts
>They literally are non-profit which is a meaningless term used by organizations to posture that they're about something other than making money for themselves. The constraints are laughable and poorly enforced.
Anthony Robinson
Fair enough, but completely orthogonal to the journal's reputation.
Camden Torres
A reputable journal is one where the bullshit is kept to an apparent minimum, it doesn't mean bullshit doesn't creep in.
Carson Ramirez
A reputable journal is one that publishes highly cited work. >bullshit It's somewhat ironic to use a term like that, and then criticise 'non profit' as being poorly defined.
Aiden Turner
the thread
William Sanchez
Reputable journals are highly cited because the bullshit is kept to an apparent minimum and thus appears to provide trustworthy information.
And that wasn't about NPOs being poorly defined, the notion is a joke. An NPO just can't give its executives and employees surpluses directly. And this is a laotian finger paint club not an autistic formal debate forum so we should all know what bullshit means here.
Luis Lee
So your theory is that Science published a bogus LGBT click-bait article because they thought it would make people rush out and buy their multi-thousand dollar subscriptions?
Christopher White
Might be looking to expand into the gender studies departments, or gender studies departments seeped into it. Either way if this shit continues that ship will sink soon enough.
Joseph Collins
Welp you're right.
I will create a page called "Crap" and I will buy scientific teams to create papers for my page, so everything would be crap because the name of the page is crap.
Right?
Josiah Bennett
Is it possible to actively change brain activity to a certain pattern and fix it permanently or at least for a long time?

Samuel Miller
Small Sample Size subjective psychology test
Always the best. Completely non reproducible because of countless variables. The attractiveness of the trans, how transitioned, how good the conversation is. Who willingly has a 10 minute conversation is probably more open etc etc
This is a junk result that people will extrapolate to meaning "talking to trans cures everything".
I could easily reproduce this test and get a completely different result just by how I select the door to door canvasser.
Carson Cruz
You'd have to ask someone qualified. Here's the thread.
Josiah Allen
>Science, arguably the most prestigious journal ...hence a target for influence and infiltration by special-interest groups.
Nothing survives free of political influence for long, these days.
The term "transphobia" alone, like "homophobia", is only used in pro-LGBT speech. They're not unbiased descriptive terms, but were carefully coined to be dismissive, needling insults toward all attitudes they encompass. In psychology, a phobia is a markedly unreasonable and unjustifiable fear.
You can't publish an article which uses "transphobia" unironically in the title and claim to be a neutral, objective scientific journal. It's like publishing an article titled "On The Difference In Intelligence Between Niggers And Human Beings". Simply by allowing that wording, you've taken an extreme and provocative position in a political controversy.
Jordan Gutierrez
Real or not, it doesn't matter. These people should be glassed.
Charles Myers
>"On The Difference In Intelligence Between Niggers And Human Beings" Fucking kekked.

How about instead of "tolerating" degenerates and faggots, science CURES that shit?

These aren't "mental" disorders.
These are genetic errors that can be identified, and screened for, and eliminated prior to birth.

I want this meme to die
Gavin Morales
> Implying a genetic error can't be the same thing as a mental disorder in some cases.
I think there is a such thing as transphobia, but just like the term "racism", it is so overused that many really do use it to refer to anyone who disagrees with them.
Chase King
definine "transphobia" OP. does this include "I don't like laws which allow any human detritus in my locker room". because according to these tumblr assholes, disliking sexual harrassment means i hate trans.
