23/ Please define for me what data or argument I could provide that would meet your standards for a causal connection. If I can find data / make the argument, I will. https://twitter.com/TBDenham/status/1135578333163319296 …

24/ Obesity is a direct health risk in that the mechanism is purely biochemical (extra load of heart). Homosexuality is a health risk in exactly the same way that Urbach-Wiethe disease (lack of fear) is - it encourages / allows risky behavior. https://twitter.com/TBDenham/status/1135579709238996993 …

25/ So now my question to you is: do you accept that diseases like Urbach-Wiethe disease are health risks, even though they do not cause damage via biochemistry, but cause risky behavior via biochemistry? If not, why not?

27/ Also, re the second question: you are conflating two things. Merely because I assert homosexuality is dangerous does NOT imply that I assert that anyone should change their behaviors. These are two orthogonal concepts. Left is very bad at thinking risk = need to change.

28/ "you have nothing" No, I have a statement that attribute X causally leads to behavior Y with a very very high probability, and behavior Y leads to risk damage Z. https://twitter.com/TBDenham/status/1135581873961226240 …

29/ You may choose to discount all attributes like this, but then you have to argue e.g. schizophrenia has fine outcomes, because it's merely CORRELATED with running into traffic, and does not biochemically CAUSE a shattered skull (the car does that!).

30/ There are four ways that two things A and B can be correlated. A causes B. B causes A. Unknown factor C causes both A and B. Sheer coincidence. Given that homosexuality is correlated with HIV deaths, do you posit #4 "sheer coincidence" ?

31/ Being a young male is, in fact, a cause of suicide. High testosterone increases incidents of violence, and suicide is a form of violence. That's not a correlation; it's causality. https://twitter.com/TBDenham/status/1135583789457915904 …

polygenetic: genes (via T), culture, support structures, media negativity as I've said earlier in the thread, I default to thinking that EVERYTHING is polygenetic

I already answered that: high T. But, yes, inclination to depression is also plausible. Runs higher in whites than in other races, IIRC
