you ever see someone make a point you agree with but their source is so bad you don’t know how to correct them on it without seeming like you disagree. like yes please elaborate i want to hear you talk but find something more substantial to back it up

#saw someone state that ‘studies prove that lesbians are less transphobic than any other sexuality.’#and to me i was like. yeah that makes a bit of sense. generally most of the cis lesbians ive met were very accepting of trans people.#HOWEVER. my questions are 1) what study. you can’t just say ‘studies’. 2) how big was this study bc it seems pretty specific 3) who ran this #study and 4) like im gonna be real a study ‘proving’ a group isnt transphobic seems odd bc like. was the survey question ‘are you #transphobic’ because people would give biased results or was it something like ‘would you date a trans person’ or ‘do you support #trans rights’ bc while less directly biased both would be easy to lie about and dont really tell if someone is transphobic or not #like do i believe that sexuality isnt a direct factor in someones transphobia. absolutly.#do i find studies studying who’s transphobic and who’s not pretty.. questionable? yes absolutly #theres not a way to measure if someone’s transphobic or not through that kind of survey.. its just not possible
