Medical statistics say “there are huge error bars by methodology but it’s about 2:1”. Of course, this does include biases that make some people more likely to “find out” and “come out” but not the visibility bias (which plays some role on the former two but not as much).


Medical data suggests there is about a 2:1 ratio but sometimes as high as 3:1. In trans spaces, this gets further amplified by the network effect: a member of a minority is more likely to stumble upon another such person if the group is larger, and the number of possible connections grows quadratically, so people pointing out bias in other comments are not entirely wrong. Similarly, medical data is probably also skewed because it’s obviously self-reported and people are more likely to come out if they feel they’ll get support and to “find out” if their kind of gender questioning process is more frequently discussed. However, these biases don’t explain all the disparity. Research is ongoing but preliminary results suggest that of the recessive genes that correlate with people reporting medically as trans, more exist on the X chromosome and since the vast majority of AMAB people have XY chromosomes, they only have one X copy and recessive genes (incl. “trans” ones) are more likely to manifest.


Did you know silence can be detected in software? The volume can be normalized too across frequencies that matter. Requiring the dealer or manufacturer is room for enshittification.


Where I live, they all do when out in the sun, and close their beaks in the shade


At school but this was before chatbots. The teacher in question has probably changed her views since.


I mean, I’m not complaining about the lack of a White History or Straight Pride Month

Better than a headline leaving out the important bits


I have the same game, with this background, branded “𝒾𝓅𝒽ℴ𝓃ℯ 𝟴” but also PSP-shaped. Predates the iPhone 6, actually.
Mapy uses OSM data outside the Czech Republic, and the extra features there compared to FOSS apps are only marginally useful. However, I am in the Czech Republic so I use the year-old 9.55.2 (9550200) Android app (last version before Premium enshittification).


All of them, CRTs can’t do black this deep in a room as bright as this


What is oenisn? Misspelled Genshin? Open-ish? Leninism? Bosnian? Penis?


No gaming?
That’s a visibility bias, which obviously exists, but medical statistics that largely eliminate it also show a big disparity.
Also this only applies to people who don’t pass, which is most trans people at some point. And wouldn’t the stigma associated with male feminine crossdressing actually discourage people from coming out and trying to get over the dreaded non-passing period?
