    I was curious about the article cause I didn’t think newsweek was that biased.

    The author is a psychologist who has focused on sexual orientation, and claims sexual orientation is most likely establisher in utero (nature rather than nurture). However he’s definitely been involved in some scandals, enough to have a whole wiki page. Additionally it sounds like he has very unorthodox methods of conducting his studies (seems like very loose with statistics and purity of studies).

    Overall, really bad article title and probably a guy co-opoted for this message cause he’s had some beef with the larger field.

      Since his inauguration, President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders that respect biological reality in areas from medicine to sports to intimate spaces, and protect the right to speak about the harms of gender ideology

      That was as far as I needed to read to know that the author doesn’t deserve credence in this or anything else. I bet if pressed in court this “Professor of Psychology” would deny ever claiming to be an educator. “No, I mean I profess to know about psychology, not that I have a degree in it!”

      An absolute and unmitigated wanker.
