isn't pokemon also socially conformant nowadays. Does that doctor has the super power to give diagnosis that expirate after 10 years ? GREAT !

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pokemon is more conformant in boys, less in girls.

I wonder why girls are historically underdiagnosed. /s

Fuck deficiency based criteria.
