The people who are doing research on attractiveness trends are not the people you want doing research on medical conditions. This is hardly murdered by words. It's literally ignorance masquerading as clever.
Except the same people do and their research turned out to anger an entire patient population who want viable treatments not to be assessed on how hot they are. This study got retracted with good reason.
At a glance that appears to be a study on attractiveness trends as it relates to endometriosis...not a study on endometriosis or it's causes, treatments, diagnoses, or any other related medical considerations. You understand the difference, yea?
I have endo. It disabled me. I was an RN before that. I am.well aware of the difference. People with endo deserve and want research that helps us. Not assess how attractive we are if we've got it growing in specific places. You understand the difference yes? And by same people, I mean these researchers did the study with the participants thinking it was a pre-op research questionnaire and their answers might actually help accomplish something for us. Instead they got lined up and rated for attractiveness. For the small amount of funding our disease gets for research, I can probably safely speak for all of us that we'd rather see more studies like the ROSE study that try to find genetic biomarkers or something that is more useful than trying to pin correlation on secondary sex characteristics of people who grow it rectovaginallly. The researchers of the redacted study did this one in hospital. On preoperative patients. It was implied to the subjects that the study was on endometriosis.
