There are like 1 in 100 people born trans, a similar number born intersex. It’s as common as having green eyes or having red hair.

Regardless, I figure the scientists are probably looking at this with more detail and seriousness than either of us.

well, thats a fucking lie.

That census data came from Brighton, which last time I checked, was the LGBT capital of the UK, if not the world.

Trans people account for between 0.1 and 0.6% of the population, and intersex is even less at 0.0018%.

Stop getting your facts from facebook.

  Accurate statistics on the number of transgender people vary widely,[11] in part due to different definitions of what constitutes being transgender.[6] Some countries collect census data on transgender people, starting with Canada in 2021.[12][13][14][15] Generally, less than 1% of the worldwide population is transgender, with figures ranging from <0.1% to 0.6%.[16][17]

    I’m providing context for why numbers regarding transgender people are fuzzy at best and why telling someone they’re “fucking lying” about them is misguided at best.
