    Whether it’s 0.5 or 1.6 percent it’s still literally the tail end of the bell curve. You’re talking about falling within the third standard deviation of a normally distributed bell curve… you just strengthened his point with this statistic.

      The original context was specifically people not knowing someone who is trans, and i provided sources that indicate this to be between 28-31% of non-lgbtq people to know someone who is trans. This by definition cannot be the tail end of a bull curve.

      But im glad from everything i wrote, you took away that i strengthened their point. Go have a cookie, you’ve won the internet today
