Uh... you're half right. Obesity has health impacts that have nothing to do with stigma, but so does homosexuality. https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1135254510362865664 …

8/ I never said that they did. But statistics show that the vast majority of gays do have anal sex, as compared to a minority of hetero couples. They also have more anal per year, and with more partners. This is why their HIV rates are 75x higher. https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1135262453296717824 …

9/ Concur. And homosexuality is not just correlated with but actively causally connected to more unsafe sex and more partners. Would you say that smoking cigarettes doesn't cause lung cancer because ACTUALLY it's unsafe inhalation that creates risk? https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1135263021125836802 …

10/ It's amazing. I love it. It's like reading 1984. "How many fingers am I holding up Winston?" She's good. She never gives Big Brother the wrong answer. She truly loves him. https://twitter.com/AestheticTerr0r/status/1135263537549459458 …

11/ I understand the distinction. But you're incorrect in saying that it's "smokers" and not "middle aged men". BOTH are true. Just bc you want to disaggregate gays into standard 3% who don't have anal and the 97% oddballs who do doesn't mean you can. https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1135263867913854977 …

12/ But the error you're making is that you're trying to replace a set X (gay, American), which has |b| prevalence of trait B and |1-b| prevalence of C, with a new synthetic set X' that removes all of the B cases. "It's B, not X !" >>> https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1135266443401072647 …

13/ This is not a valid statistical technique! Do you use this in any other area of life? Do you say that it's not driving 120 mph that's unsafe, it's crashing? Do you say that drug use is perfectly safe, just not using in quantities that lead to overdoses?

14/ Exactly! Even if you control for gay men who only have 1 sex partner (very very rare) , the act of gay sex itself is still much much risker than hetero sex. We're agreed!https://twitter.com/omniai/status/1135284159394402304 …

15/ Incorrect. I'm perfectly willing to count lesbians as gay. I was merely illustrating my argument only using gay men. Lesbians have much higher rates of suicide, smoking, and risky behaviors than straight women. Even left-wing Slate says sohttps://twitter.com/omniai/status/1135284697653637120 …

16/ ok, let us define some terms. I'm going to call the people you label "gay" "metaphysically gay". I'm now going to relabel the people you call "gays participating in anal sex" (i.e. 99% of the first group) as "gay". My thesis now is correct.https://twitter.com/hedbergrules/status/1135307375353749504 …

17/ No, not at all. I just hate listening to people spout politically correct nonsense that pleases the power structure, like the greengrocer in Havel's essay. https://twitter.com/lomas_scot/status/1135338315765301248?s=19 …

18/ Interesting projection. Search my TL. I almost never talk about gays because I truly don't care. You, on the other hand, are using ad hominems because you can't fight my actual point (because the facts strongly support my position). https://twitter.com/lomas_scot/status/1135351724028203009?s=19 …

19/ I've changed my mind on hundreds of topics, when presented with evidence. What is your evidence that my mind is shut tight? What is your evidence that will convince me that gays are as healthy as heteros? https://twitter.com/lomas_scot/status/1135402004166074368?s=19 …

20/ Lesbian sex isn't unhealthy, but lesbians are (on average). Statistics show that they smoke more, drink more, are overweight more, and commit suicide more than hetero women. https://twitter.com/Meteoryan1/status/1135404541417967616?s=19 …

21/ That's not shifting the goal posts at all. That's the thesis statement of this thread. Scroll all the way the very top of the thread to verify. https://twitter.com/Meteoryan1/status/1135404821614194688?s=19 …

22/ concur; it's not the ethnicity PER SE ; it's that fact that various ethnicities have lower IQs and higher testosterone levels that causes the bad outcomes https://twitter.com/TBDenham/status/1135571873058525184 …
