It's hard to believe anyone's still peddling this crap in 2016.

Then again, maybe it's not.

Matt Barber has been peddling that shit since christ was a corporal. I saw the name and passed, but there is every reason to believe any real studies never came to such a conclusion, and the one in lifestyle news from sweden (ok, I peeked at one to see if it was asswipe, and it was) oversamples gay men against a larger population of heterosexuals. It finds no causation to the correlation. I theorize from the information that it is due to outside of marriage problems like gay bashing. It is as valid as their conclusion, since they have no correlation nor causality.

Lets say that I do a study of the chances of seeing a north dakota license plate in minnesota compared to a south dakota licence plate in minnesota. I can do that one in a gedanken experiment. It will be north dakota plates win over south dakota, the exercise being left to the reader.

In this case however there is a clear causation and correlation. That is not true of the studies in the asswipe presented.

The article is crap, but if anyone is taking stock in it, it's worth noting that the prevailing thought on why one is LGB and why one is trans is different. The reality is also very much different, the grouping together is largely because both groups face similar discrimination.

Hormone imbalance during a particular stage of fetal development is generally considered by the medical community as to the reason one is transgender. The study of DES sons supports this. DES was an estrogen increasing drug that was prescribed from 1941 to 1971 to prevent miscarriages.
