I do have a question though, while you're... sorry I do apologise, while @RantingManchester is decrying scientific hubris, here are some figures from the US dept of Justice that the FBI have compiled on hate crimes for 2022:
"LGBTQI+ Targeted Crimes: Incidents targeting gay men reached 1,075, while anti-lesbian incidents numbered 622. Both categories recorded their highest totals in the past five years and increased by more than 10% since 2021. A significant increase of nearly 40% was observed in reported anti-transgender incidents (totaling 338) compared to 2021."

More hubris?
Crime is bad.
Only you seem to have patted the author on the back, and apologise on behalf of those objecting to that very bigotry?
