Hm, this is one of the most blatent ad-hominem comments I've seen in a while."You can tell btw that she doesn't like the conclusions of her own study when she keeps saying more research needs to be done"
I've read plenty of studies where that caveat is added. Unlike Ben most researchers have humility and attempt to be aware of the limitations of their own research. And beyond that part of the point of research isn't just to provide an answer but to raise more question for research. Shapiro confirmed for not reading science journals (unless it confirms his POV).
What about the substance of what's being discussed? Instead of the study causing further research they ax it and then apologized for publishing it.
This is exactly what the title of this thread addresses.
How would one measure the influence of "social justice warriors"?
"[T]he School... has heard from Brown community members expressing concerns that the conclusions of the study could be used to discredit efforts to support transgender youth and invalidate the perspectives of members of the transgender community."

2/ The honesty here is noteworthy. Researchers can publish findings that support the "born this way" storyline (which plenty of trans people themselves disagree with) all day long with no problems. Anything else will be careful picked apart for signs of "harmfulness."

3/ "[T]he School... has heard from community members expressing concerns that the conclusions could be used to discredit efforts to support Y and invalidate the perspectives of Z" could be used as justification to discredit just about any interesting social science study

This is incredible--a dean attacking, in a schoolwide letter, the published research of a professor who doesn't have the protections of tenure.

Weird how the left can claim “climate change deniers” are anti-science but pulling scientific research they consider “harmful” is ok? They are literally denying science they disagree with.

So are there actual scientific concerns beyond triggering people?

Hurry, get rid of all oppositional science! It's corrupting the youth!

Yeah, sometimes the scientific process reveals things that go against what one believes.
