      It's a real world issue in that the use of biometrics to try to "prove" someone's sexual orientation is an invasive abusive ongoing atrocity based on pseudoscientific garbage, yes

      Unless you think strapping sensors to someone's genitals and making them watch porn while you watch them watching porn is an okay thing to do if you have a white coat and a clipboard while you do it

      What are you ranting about now? Are you saying it is never ethical to undertake psychological or sex research with volunteers?

      I think it's absolutely and totally unethical to use the plethysmograph and the thermistor clip as the basis for any kind of legal ruling, and their use in asylum claims that you mention is barbaric and monstrous

      It's the same kind of power-tripping tea-leaf-reading bullshit as selling the polygraph as a "lie detector", only with genitals involved

      As far as "academic sexologists" doing this shit consensually with volunteers, sure, whatever gets your rocks off Just don't make me fund your little games and don't start basing policy on it

      You know the key claim behind this kind of biometric testing - that the biometric in question objectively equates to the experience of "attraction" - is unfalsifiable and taken as axiomatic

      You can never disprove it by having someone actually testify "I had a boner but I wasn't into it" The whole point of the test is to argue "Ah, but the boner proves you WERE into it, and you were LYING" The whole worldview is one aimed at eroding consent

      But yeah if you want to validate the generations-old tradition of defense attorneys in rape trials going "Well she showed the biological signs of arousal and sexual interest" you can fuck right off

      You do enjoy your little rants don't you? How adorable. I was clearly listing potential sources of corroborating evidence, as part of a wider discussion contrasting knowledge of homosexuality (potentially verifiable) with knowledge of gender identity (not verifiable)

      The point is chasing "objective verification" inevitably leads to these pseudoscientific moral atrocities and you shouldn't do it

          I'm not chasing anything. I was contrasting two different scenarios as the idea of homosexuality being unverifiable had been presented as a counterexample. I don't think it makes sense to say there's never any evidence that someone is gay beyond the fact that they say they are.

          How does medicine work? Do you test it or do you just take whatever you are given and pray to Jeebus? Does homeopathy work? Do vagina-scented candles ‘cure’ autism? How about curing cancer by sitting under a pyramid made of chicken wire?

          Sure except you're part of what's making it "imperfect", by defending the idea of medical gatekeeping as opposed to self-ID
