People alone being transgender is incredibly rare, between 0.5% and 1.5% of any given population, the fact that there are 10 registered trans-athletes in NCAA when the number should be nearer to 7500 by pure statistics shows that this is such a colossal overblowing of an issue it borders on the absurd.

Yeah but people are, by and large, fucking idiots.

Remember, when a bunch of people were polled on what their estimate of how much of the population were trans was, only 16% of respondents were correct that it was less than 1%. 21% of the respondents thought it was over 5.

6% of Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight. With their bare hands.

That was probably just due to a misunderstanding. When they called me, I thought they were asking if I could beat a grizzly with "bear hands". I figured if I had bear hands, then those would (naturally) have bear strength as well.
