    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.

              Ah yes, excellent proof of.5% changing to 50%.

                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.

          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.

                  You’re in earnest arguing that something is transphobic by default since it can’t be proven otherwise. Lol, possibly dumbest thing I’ve ever read online

                    Not by default, by explicitly dismissing the minority status of a majority-trans community simply because they don’t fit their expectation of a trans person.

                    If that’s the dumbest thing you’ve read online I have some really bad news for you.
