    There are like 1 in 100 people born trans, a similar number born intersex. It’s as common as having green eyes or having red hair.

    Regardless, I figure the scientists are probably looking at this with more detail and seriousness than either of us.

      well, thats a fucking lie.

      That census data came from Brighton, which last time I checked, was the LGBT capital of the UK, if not the world.

      Trans people account for between 0.1 and 0.6% of the population, and intersex is even less at 0.018%.

      Stop getting your facts from facebook.

        Accurate statistics on the number of transgender people vary widely,[11] in part due to different definitions of what constitutes being transgender.[6] Some countries collect census data on transgender people, starting with Canada in 2021.[12][13][14][15] Generally, less than 1% of the worldwide population is transgender, with figures ranging from <0.1% to 0.6%.[16][17]

        From wikipedia.

            I’m providing context for why numbers regarding transgender people are fuzzy at best and why telling someone they’re “fucking lying” about them is misguided at best.

              Its not actually the case though is it? “1 in 100” is no where near “0.1 to 0.6”, is it? Theres nothing fuzzy about any of these numbers. I stated them, you repeated it. But your the good guy? lol

                Repeat the first sentence from the wikipedia quote and ask yourself if it addresses everything you just said. Here’s a hint: it does.
