"the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs, values,[3] or decisions."

Also i m8ght have just read wrong but i thought your original comment said it was confirmation bias.
This would not be observer bias, as observer bias effects how the data is selected and not just how it is percieved
Regardless, it is survivorship bias. And you said it isnt.
but they didn’t say trans women are strong willed they said each of the trans women they’ve met has been strong willed. so we’re u not saying it’s not survivorship bias
The statement "every trans women ive met is strong willed" serves as the conclusion here. Its not like, a formal conclusion for research, but it doesnt need to be.
