The reason for advertising on social media is because so many detransitioners aren’t “out” as detransitioned and may only speak about their experience anonymously online. Most accounts from detransitioners are online, whether social media or a forum, so it makes sense to reach -

but that completely ruins any and all integrity of your study. for a matter as serious as this, you should more carefully consider the validity of your responses. you can't put a questionnaire on twitter and call it a study.

It’s not my study dumbass all self-reporting studies are “questionnaires”

I have zero access to the responses, it’s not a twitter poll lmao. A research team at brown university handles the responses, Lisa Littman will not even see them herself until after compilation because that’d be interfering with the integrity of the data

I don’t understand why you’re so determined to invalidate a study that will help trans and detrans people alike. I think trans people could benefit from knowing what factors may lead someone to transition & then detransition

I'm not determined to invalidate it mate it's invalidating itself. it's shite. like I said before it will be very easy to use the so-called study to come to very harmful false conclusions

in fairness, not all questionaires are invalid; self-reporting surveys are used in many published studies, since in some cases it's the only real way to access a group of people. the problem comes when... (1/3)

selection bias is introduced through self-selection problems (to some extent unavoidable in optional surveys) or, more notably, when restrictions in study advertisement/access lead to conclusions being drawn on a smaller subpopulation than initially anticipated

in this case, i'm concerned based on littman's previous methods of drawing samples almost entirely through anti-transgender websites, since this restricted the surveyed population to "anti-transgender individuals" rather than any sort of representative sampling (3/3)

(4/3, i lied) that said, if littman advertises more broadly here and especially does so on college campuses or websites with more diverse populations, there's a chance that at least salvageable data will be acquired - regardless of the intent in acquiring it

Even if the study were on a perfectly randomized sample of the population, this survey would still be very bad - extremely loaded with leading questions designed to push a specific narrative

And the anti-trans communities they're trying to pull respondents from are ones *we know* are full of highly committed ideologues who would very easily justify brigading a survey to inflate their numbers

oh yeah, i was just addressing point two and noting that if attempts to randomize are actually made it can address a part of that issue point one would require me to have seen the survey design/questions; i assume the questions are uhhhhh not great
