    Except there’s no factual reason to doubt that demographic except for whatever prejudices you have against them

    Unless you count the fact that trans people make up an incredibly small percentage of the population overall. I’m sure OP wasn’t thinking of that when he… Checks notes mentioned it explicitly.

    Their existence really has nothing to do with your opinions

    Awesome. So next time I or no one else expresses literally any opinion whatsoever on how others live, we’ll all be sure to… Continue not doing that.

    Thanks again for your helpful feedback

    Edit: op didn’t mention the stat about trans people generally, that was from a comment im falsely remembering as op. But that doesn’t change the point I’m making at all

      Underrepresented minorities disproportionately join minority-centric social groups, that isn’t surprising.

          Do you ever watch the NBA and think to yourself, “WOW, being taller than 6’4 is exceptionally rare! The odds that they are all here playing basketball together is simply unbelievable”?

            A terrible analogy. There’s nothing about using a particular Internet server that people are predisposed to having the ability to do.

                First I’ve ever heard of that concerning hexbear but another great point. Literally everyone especially op knows that

                  “Most of us are trans”

                  “I don’t believe you”

                  “Here’s a demographic poll showing that we are indeed majority trans”

                  “That seems really unlikely, you must be lying or that poll must be wrong”

                  “Here’s a detailed history of our origin explaining exactly why it isn’t at all unlikely that we are who we say we are”

                  “Ah, forgive me for my error, I believe you now”
