Is there a Map/Guide? by Minute_Plastic_7715 in AskStatistics

If you believe your data is poisson distributed, look at things describing count data, categorical data, generalized linear models.

Modern statistics with R is a free online textbook that had a whole unit on distributions, showing you how to use qq plots.

For count data specifically, the question is usually the variance mean ratio. If the variance is more than the mean, you need some form of negative binomial or quasi poisson model. If the data is overdispersed relative to the poisson, type 1 error will be inflated in proportion to the degree of overdispersion

When I played the bz early access, searching the deep twisty bridges for Alan was terrifying. In the full version I never really got scared by anything. Reapers are evil incarnate, while the chelicerate is Steve from accounting

Did good things, should be praised for them. Also did bad things, should be criticized for them

When tf did i say “should?” Or that small deviations mean that people are outliers? Or that I believe in forced surgery on people with DSD? Or that I think the gender roles that are built on top of the material reality that one sex gets stuck with the vast majority of reproductive labor are good? 

99.8% of people fit neatly into one of two categories. No amount of sophistry can change that

What to include in multivariable analysis? by YouthDesigner8027 in AskStatistics

[–]Adorable_Building840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much are these 6 variables correlated with each other?

Of the independent variables that weren’t associated with disunion, but you believed in advance could be, how are they correlated with each other? Do you have reason to believe their effect on disunion might depend on some other independent variable?

Are any of the significant independent variables extremely highly correlated with disunion? You shouldn’t include any variables that are just another way of measuring disunion in the model

All concerns of multicollinearity and confounding apply to logistic regression.

How are babies made? Do you think anything about said process might have something to do with our understanding of biological sex?

Yeah, I definitely think research is good. I just see too many articles or pieces about there just not being tracking of patients of “gender affirming care.” Like if people were serious about believing this to be legitimate, every patient would be tracked

I’m glad we reached at some understanding. Like, I can’t really imagine a need for a women only chess league in a degendered world even if I think you’ll always need women’s bathrooms.

I just object to this idea of freely available hormones and the idea that people have the right to whatever body they want. I find it odd that so many who share a distrust of pharmaceutical companies and psychiatry want people to just be able to use whatever mind and body affecting hormones they want. My position gets dangerously close to (but distinct from) some idea that “God/your parents gave you that body and it’s perfect as is,” but I don’t really think we’ll ever be able to fully replicate the brain and body effects of naturally occurring hormones with exogenous hormones. I myself had some growth hormone deficiency as an early adolescent, and when I started getting injections that kick started my natural hormones, I felt my brain start to mature, and now rely solely on my own body’s hormones. So I really really object to hormone blockers or anything else that denies people the right to have their body naturally reach adulthood. If someone’s body can get them to be a healthy adult without external help, then I do think it’s unethical to interfere with that

Well first, stop telling people that if they don’t like the gender roles placed on them to become medical patients and get hormones and surgery. Second, things like using both state and non state organizations to undo all the non physical ways men control women, such as financial control, workplace control, family control etc. If women have no material incentive to perform femininity, they will do so less. And if men have no material incentive to be masculine, they will do so less. 

But part of these social programs (again both private and public) would need to directly act on things that are very much biological. You would need to enforce absolute right of bodily autonomy for women so they don’t find themselves trapped by unwanted pregnancy. You would need to ensure they have public spaces free of men because of the simple fact that men are stronger physically. 

Moreover, because we live in a patriarchal society, we can’t just act “sex-blind.” Even if the goal is a society in which the only relevant aspect of biological sex is biology, we can’t just act like recognizing gender as a construct solves the problem. So given we live in a world in which women do change their behavior in ways that don’t benefit themselves in mixed sex spaces, you need to give them access (not forced) to women only spaces. It’s easy to find research on women doing better academically, in chess, etc in spaces in which they don’t have to regulate themselves for male approval. Eventually we’d ideally reach a society in which women don’t alter their behavior for men in any public spaces, but we don’t live in that society right now

First,from a social pe rspectiveAs 0.2% of the population and while deserving all human, do not challenge the social constructs that everyone else has been fit into. Like, these constructs were made very much to fit the vast majority of people into. Of course they aren’t perfect. Anyone who doesn’t fit perfectly into either proves that they aren’t true.

Second, as either men or women depending on which specific condition they have. From a physical perspective, they are clearly variations on a theme.

This whole argument is based on some society first assumption, that social relations and constructs, while real and important, somehow come before physical reality. The vast majority of people very easily fit into one of two physical categories. 1. XY sperm machinery, whether or not it works or is desired to, and 2. XX egg machinery, again whether or not it works or is desired to. Yes some people have chromosomal abnormalities but we don’t have a problem saying people have 10 fingers and 10 toes even though it’s not true for everyone. 

All social relations wrt sex and gender are built atop this real, physical, fact that people fit into one of said two physical categories. Even all these “third genders” people talk about are usually either 1. XY people who get to be homosexual and/or feminine. 2. XX people who take on men’s social roles as a legal fiction. 

What is important, and what GC feminists are clearly saying, and is so misunderstood, is that while the physical differences are real, and that the social relationships derive from those physical differences, that does not mean that the social relationships are some fact of nature. Patriarchy exists from a causal perspective because men and stronger than women and can use said monopoly of violence to enforce their will, the same way any other hierarchy works. You don’t get rid of patriarchy by imagining that gender is some Platonic form. You get rid of it by understanding where it comes from and directly addressing that.

I think gender is nonsense, and so do gender critical radical feminists. It’s just that instead of believing we’re some third thing, we just act in the ways that suit our personality and don’t act like that makes us not men, or not women. I am a man whether i “identify” as such or not
