30 Misconceptions About Pretty Safe Things, Despite Most Saying They’re Dangerous

He was also 'only' talking about one vaccine, just the MMR. The Triple jab. Not all vaccines. How did it become ALL vaccines? Mind you what is this really doing on a list headed 'Pretty Safe Things, Despite Most Saying They’re Dangerous'? MOST people do NOT consider vaccines dangerous. Most people get their vaccines when necessary and most get them for their children. Far too many don't but it's not most. If only Andrew Wakefield hadn't been a dishonest piece of scum.

He was a doctor; he was struck off for making up his MMR results.

The stats will fall into 2 categories only...wether you identify as non binary or whatever if you were born male it would count as a male rape and female the same..and no,this isn't a tranphobic comment it's just a fact

Kind of, but I think you're thinking of people that identify as non binary while still appearing as their original gender. A lot take action to look more androgynous and it's hard to classify them into a binary gender by looks alone, which skews statistics of violent crime. For example, should someone who's afab but has a buzz cut and wears masculine clothing to look androgynous be counted in data considering random abduction of women? It's a very complicated issue.

And if most of the violent crimes under discussion are committed by people the victims know, as Goose points out, then the victims' appearance is even less relevant.

Is the criminal justice system going to get confused by a haircut?! This illustrates one of the problems with self ID, it skews the stats. Has there been a significant rise in abuse by women, or by men who identify as women? This is important as it drives policy choices.

@Thenatural Untrue. Around 1% of people are born intersex. It's nothing to do with how people identify, it's about acknowledging that people genuinely exist who are neither one gender or the other. Now *that* is a fact. It's sad how many people have fallen for your specious argument.

That is partially true but when we're discussing gendered violence it is important to acknowledge nonbinary stats, partially because LGBTQIA people are statistically more likely to experience violence. Also because intersex people exist. And while intersex people do not necessarily identify as nonbinary at all there are still close to an estimated 6 million of them living in the US. I'm interested in thorough stats. Neither the medical/science community nor the social sciences community lumps everything into male or female. I do understand that a lot of government entities do though.

Actually, the bikes and metal aren't proof of heterosexuality either -- see Rob Halford. \m/

yes of course,and a really bad example I've used (I could have phrased it somewhat better),I intended no offence,I do apologise....I was more getting across in a more stereotypical,more socially traditional heterosexual way that my cousin also crossdresses and is non gay as Mycroft (above mentioned)....not in anyway suggesting someone's lifestyle or personality is in anyway related to their sexual orientation...is that better?

unfortunately there is a prevailing social mindset/attitude that all crossdressers/transvestites and drag queens are all gay, effeminate,camp or deviant predators 😡😡😡anyone with half a brain knows that couldn't be further from the reality

Yep. As I often point out, Oscar Wilde had kids.

Absolutely 100%! It was illegal for women to perform on stage until the mid-1600s. Boys and young men played the female roles.

It is sexual violence... i could explain it to you, but i can't understand it for you

Which arrouse the rapists. Arrousal is sexual, you functional illiterates!

I had to look up drag queen story hour and now my life will never be complete without them.

Good girls eat banana's horizontally... Just ask Amy Farah Fowler.

Are these the story hours where the drag queen has a name like Annie Manaldoo ? (Any man will do) and there not sexual? F**k off!

Less sexual than a lot of priests - did you protest them?

That's comedy, not sex. The difference being, it made me chuckle, not horny
