Research Report Suggests “Woke” Culture Has “Limited Impact” On LGBT Mental Health

A report published to PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed research site, confirmed what scorned and demonized fans have been saying for years: the act of forcing politics into fictional works doesn’t help anyone in real life.

The report is titled: “Minority stress, distress, and suicide attempts in three cohorts of sexual minority adults: A U.S. probability sample” and the sample size consisted of 1,518 LGBTUUDDLRLRBAS participants from three different age groups, labeled “pride (born 1956–1963), visibility (born 1974–1981), and equality (born 1990–1997)” and named after the respective “issues” facing each specific LGBTUUDDLRLRBAS generation.

The conclusion the researchers came to confirms what sane, rational individuals have known for years: that the overindulgence of identity politics, changing straight characters bi- or gay, has had “limited impact on stress processes and mental health for sexual minority people.”

Concerning the “equality” group, the report noticed that, though members of the younger generation were “coming out” sooner than their predecessors, there were “no signs that the improved social environment attenuated their exposure to minority stressors” which include “both distal stressors, such as violence and discrimination, and proximal stressors, such as internalized homophobia and expectations of rejection.”

Things only spiraled into further hopelessness from there:

“Psychological distress and suicide behavior also were not improved, and indeed were worse for the younger than the older cohorts. These findings suggest that changes in the social environment had limited impact on stress processes and mental health for sexual minority people. […] 30% of the younger cohort, 24% of the middle cohort, and 21% of the older cohort reported at least one suicide attempt.”

The younger group was noted to have “had less exposure” to the threats of being “hit, beaten, physically attacked, or sexually assaulted” or incidents such as “attempted robbery”, the younger group had faced more instances of “everyday discrimination” and “internalized homophobia” than their older counterparts.

The report concludes that creatively bankrupt instances of changing Superman and Robin bisexual, or making the horror movie icon Pinhead trans, has had no positive effect on LGBT youth, and they are more likely to take their own lives regardless of this “progressiveness”.
