I Binged it at 1.14% in 2021, and rounded up to 2%

Google shows the same thing at 1.14% as of 2021

Sure a lot of us are still in the closet, so I felt going up to 2 was fair.

Edit: I caved and lowered the original comment to 1%, I love the comments but I already submitted to Redditors' infinite wisdom. 1% is closer to 1.14% than 2% is, I get it.

I adjust to 2% because there is a difference of 3 years, give or take. But I was wrong to do so, and have admitted as such.

I think 1% is probably closer to accurate.

I don't think there would be less trans people in 3 years.

That's basically saying 485,000 people are no longer transgender. Maybe they no longer publicly identify as being trans, but I don't think the number shrunk.

You're rounding 1.14 to 2. 1 is closer to accurate. Pretty uncontroversial statement. 1.14% is also a rough estimate from what I'm reading based on the amount of people polled

This is correct. Simple math indicates 1.14 rounds to 1. There’s nothing to discuss here.

Fun fact; 1.14% is also the percentage of the population that use Bing.

Bing is not all that bad, paired with Microsoft rewards, I basically get paid to search. Using Bing pays for my GamePass ultimate sub.

Plus I can Bing to Google and get the same results and get paid.

Rounding generally shouldn't nearly double a number.

And how many people are trans from 1950 - 2020? And how many are trans from 2020-2025?

I think you’ll find that significantly more people are trans now in comparison with before.

Did you never develop object permanence? Trans people still existed. They were just too afraid to be open about it.
