Militarization of police reduces crime

Trilling (2017)

A 10 percent increase in the total value of military aid [given to a community] leads to a decrease of 5.9 crimes per 100,000 population. Military aid is associated with a fall in local citizens’ complaints about crime.

Based on the average cost of a crime, the authors conduct a cost-benefit analysis that reasons $5,800 worth of military gear can save society about $112,000. Thus, military aid is “a very inexpensive crime-reducing tool” when compared to the costs and benefits of hiring additional police officers.

Meta analysis confirms link between autism and gender dysphoria (aka gender identity disorder or "transgenderism"):

"The findings of the current literature review and meta-analyses suggest that there is (a) a positive relationship between ASD traits and GD/GI feelings among people from the general population, (b) an increased prevalence of GD/GI in the autistic population, and (c) an increased prevalence of ASD diagnoses and ASD traits in the GD/GI population. Overall, these fndings suggest the existence of a link between ASD and GD/GI"
