Every now and then, I will post threads beginning with the title "Let me tell you something."
Let me tell you something:
If you "identify" as LGBT, you probably aren't. You either are born that way or you simply aren't. I can say with confidence that I myself am gay. There is a history of that in my family. The indicators are there.
It's the same principle as gender, you're born male or female, identifying as the opposite gender does not make you that gender.
If we extol the sciences to the point of being sacrosanct, then let the science speak on both ends of the ideological spectrum.
That, or don't claim you listen to or respect science. Your choice. But don't lecture me about science if you only pick and choose what parts of it to believe.
(And for those who will undoubtedly bring up climate change: Yes, I believe in climate change, but not in the idea that humans are a direct cause of it. Those views are also backed by science. That is another thread entirely, however. I will not address those arguments here.)
