    Article says there are more searches for trans-related keywords in GOP areas. However it doesn’t say anything about trans porn searches vs cis porn searches. It wouldn’t surprise me if conservative areas have more searches for porn in general, so all the numbers are higher. Anyway the article uses a lot of statistical jargon without seeming to check this basic issue. FAIL.

      Yeah, it’s just correlation, which does not mean it’s true, the reason could be a different one

      Yeah, and if it did, I feel like it’s their vigilante fantasy scour. Not genuine crank material. Either way, unhealthy obsession.
