Not to take away from your point but 0.01% of 164k is ~17. Edit: I didn't want to be a jerk so I decided to look it up. Looks like NYT[1] has the number at 0.

Edit:
I didn't want to be a jerk so I decided to look it up. Looks like NYT[1] has the number at 0.6% (probably higher in reality since it's self reported) so that's about 1000 people a day.
Also stats offer little comfort when you're part of that group and it happens to you 100% of the time.

- lightgreen 7y agoIt’s probably lower in reality since it’s phone poll and minorities are probably more likely to participate in polls.
- AprilArcus 7y ago> minorities are probably more likely to participate in polls on what basis do you believe that to be the case?
- lightgreen 7y agoJust my humble experience. Any minorities (e. g. people of minor nations, like Icelanders) always try to remind everyone of own existence. Which is not a bad thing, and this is maybe untrue, but this could be an explanation of possible trans-people overrepresentation.
