i thought a greater proportion of the population than 0.1% was trans though?
it sounds to me as though, if 3% of the population at large is trans, then the trans community is committing only 1/30th as much domestic terrorism as there SHOULD be.
Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.
Just looked at the recent census results for the UK which is where I am and only 0.5% reported their gender identity is different to the gender they were assigned at birth, further to that only 0.2% specifically said they were trans.
Not sure what it’s like where you’re from but 3% seems quite high.
i shall accept your corrective information and update my expectations. makes my personal experience seem even more of a huge outlier but… eh, i guess in for a penny in for a pound or something.
it was 3% actually willing to brave the incredibly dangerous and painful societal and emotional trauma of coming out as trans, whereas the number of those who identify but are too afraid to pursue it is a fair bit higher.
The ‘trendy’ segment is a loud but nigh infinitesimal minority that hardly scratches the surface of accommodating the proportion of those who remain closeted for personal safety.
If the figure is actually lower than 3%, though, I’d actually be sincerely shocked because I would have never expected to meet and befriend so many people who are trans if so; More than half my friends are trans (and I consider this a very fortunate circumstance <3) or maybe i’m just radiating some kind of safety aura where folks in the community know that they’ll find support and stability around me ^_^;
Source for the trans numbers? I’m pretty sure Canada is the only country that has actually reported them, and its largely dependent in generation.
If taking gen Z (the largest percent of trans people, least bais due to fear of coming out) its just under 1%, meaning trans people would be 10x less likely to cause a mass shooting
If you factor for population percentage and shooter age, it’s about equal

You have to realize that not many folks are going to openly identify themselves to a government that has been hostile to them.

Insanely and falsely high.
