    He knew 50% was the figure in question and he said ‘i don’t believe anything that comes out of hexbear’. Stands to reason he very well did have that information and simply dismissed it for having come from hexbear.

      “figure in question”? I’m asking for specifics. Because all I see is the image in this post.

        You asked how I knew he had that information and dismissed it, and I pointed out he was repeating the information and dismissing it lmao

          You didn’t. And we definitely still don’t know that. We don’t know the context but it does seem likely some random user said it without linking a source. It’s really not as complicated as you are making it

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

            Their existence really has nothing to do with your opinions about them, and thinking otherwise is what makes it transphobic.

              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.

              I know I believe everything I read online. Because if I didn’t, that would make me a bigot. Good and reasonable, totally non moronic talk. Thanks!

                But you must have some way of discerning truth on the internet one way or the other, otherwise nothing could ever be true

                  Some dude saying it doesn’t make it true or anyone a transphobe. Absolutely no leg to stand on here.

                    Nor does saying ‘i don’t believe it’ make that doubt any more legitimate and any less motivated by transphobic prejudice.
