I don't think that graph shows what they want it to show...

LangCleg · 09/03/2019 20:07

They say when somebody tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

Rachel has shown us Rachelself. Unsure why Rachel feels the need to continue to show Rachelself to us all quite so very regularly, since we have got the message...

... or perhaps I am quite sure.

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:07

Mmm that graph looks kind of ... uneven.

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:11

Browndog it's a graph showing height variation and distribution as pertaining to men and women, supposedly in support of the argument that men don't have a natural advantage in this area. Confused

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:12

Which is, fair play to her, unintentionally hilarious.

AssassinatedBeauty · 09/03/2019 20:16

Did anyone spot any comments about where the data came from for that graph?

lionheart · 09/03/2019 20:19

I too am blocked.

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:20

AFAIK it's from McKinnon's own thesis.

Not sure why McKinnon is comparing data for men and women anyway, when everyone knows transwomen are women. 🤣

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:24

My mistake, it's 'Sonsken et al 2018'. Thought it was McKinnon's as mckinnon
has also linked to that today.

It took McKinnon four hours to make that graph.

tilder · 09/03/2019 20:26

The argument put forward by McKinnon is totally nonsensical. As far as I can understand her reasoning, because the shortest person in the sample is male, there can be no male advantage. Because the average is irrelevant, the single outlier being the determining factor.

Utter bollox.

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:28

So many big blue lines ...

PhysaliaPhysalis · 09/03/2019 20:28

Oh, I'm blocked!
I've never tweeted RMcK, never tweeted about RMcK, at most have liked tweets by Kelly Holmes / Sharron Davies / Twitfems.

I feel like I deserve a badge.

Trousering · 09/03/2019 20:29

Desparation.

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:30

Quite, tilder. I mean, Warwick Davies is a man. Does that mean that Lennox Lewis should be able to participate in women's boxing?

tilder · 09/03/2019 20:30

I don't tweet. So presumably I can view with impunity, I just can't comment.

The tweets are quite something. 4 hours to generate that graph? 10 minute job at the most. Does McKinnon not need to work?

tilder · 09/03/2019 20:31

Well if Lennox chose to identify....

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:32

Btw anyone else with access, please report that doxing. Some poor sap has had his name and email address splayed all over McKinnon's account for ages now. It's on the tweet about her supervisor from the 8th.

AssassinatedBeauty · 09/03/2019 20:33

There were about double the number of men in the dataset compared to women.

Handay · 09/03/2019 20:38

So it's not accurate anyway? Oh dear. And I had such respect for McKinnon's academic credentials as well. Oh well, at least McKinnon hasn't wasted McKinnon's time.

tilder · 09/03/2019 20:47

It's not about the height of the curve (which reflects numbers) but the relative location of the curve. They may overlap at the edge, but they centre differently. Its all about trends and 'normal', not outliers.

FermatsTheorem · 09/03/2019 20:47

Has anyone retweeted this tagging the BBC.

SparkiePolastri · 09/03/2019 20:50

I said this on the other thread. I have long since come to accept I'm transphobic, because it's levelled at anyone and everyone for everything.

And this nails it. The fact that I don't want a man doing my smear confirms that I'm transphobic. Meh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The word has long since lost any meaning, or carried any threat.

Is that actually what TRAs want? I wouldn't have thought so.
