Imagine thinking 1 in 5 people are trans... Just... This has to be a math understanding issue, right??

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Well, the survey does not show the distribution of answers. So my guess (it's a guess, not data) is the people living in densely populated areas answered lower numbers, and people living in rural or remote areas ridiculously overestimated the number of trans people based on how much of a big "issue" medias are making of them.
I'd honestly believe the opposite, with people living in liberal cities overestimating. Personallt, in a friend group of about 15, 4 are trans.
Just because you're progressive, doesn't mean you're good at math or understand statistics.

29% Asian? 🤣
I fucking wish
As an Asian American, I don't feel safe going to a red jurisdiction.

Only 4% union members - no wonder the US is so fucked for workers
Funny that more people own a car than have a driver's license.
I unfortunately have to downvote this as this is far too interesting to be mildly interesting.
I grudgingly have to upvote you for being accurate even though the information is creating great discussions.
It was definitely a reluctant downvote from my side as well. But I feel this community is honestly abused and not living up to its name with the amount of "VeryInteresting" content.
This is extremely interesting and illuminating. The kind of thing I’ve been interested in my whole adult life.
