Actually it would be half that - 1 in 200 people

This is a great showcase of Bid-Rent theory

And I'm a lawyer, if we are pulling out qualifications just to support our arguments. Your underlying logic is a mess. I will explain again:

You are taking one statement ("People don't understand percentages") and are trying to apply it across the board to every mistaken belief about minority group sizes. Despite the fact all minority groups are not the same and are not treated the same by society.

To do this you are purposely shutting your eyes to any other explanation that may apply only to some groups and not universally. Like the fact GOP leaders like DeSantis are making it their entire platform that gender dysphoria is somehow spreading like a virus through grooming.

Honestly, what am I saying that you're objecting to? Do you disagree that conservatives have made it a major political point that trans people are recruiting children? Or are you arguing that there's just no way this mistaken belief could be showing up in the data?

If this was true 1 in 100 people on TV and in movies would be trans. That is absolutely not the case.

Thanks for the link, I was surprised there was no data for NZ but it is in the table between the US and S Korea.

I have no idea what you’re even trying to say… I’m actually a statistician but believe whatever you want about this data

Is it just me that groans when people decide a gradient is better than differentiating colours?

This isn't valid logic. You're basically saying because they made one mistake about one group, every mistake about every other group is based on the exact same mistaken idea and there can be no other answer for any other situation.

This logic especially falls apart in the current political climate. There is no political party making it their platform that there is an epidemic of people identifying as Texan. There are, however, multiple political parties around the world, including in the US, saying that there is an epidemic of trans people grooming children and making them trans, and of trans identity being fashionable.

In other words, your logic is because these people don't understand percentages they can never think any minority groups are actually bigger than they are. You really can't see why that falls apart?

There are dense vertical clusters around 25km and 48km from Notre Dame. I wonder what popular areas are at that distance from the cathedral.

People need to start looking into how yougov runs surveys. Literally pay >$1/hr for people to take surveys. The faster you take them the more you earn.

They’re completed by people in third world countries claiming to be from somewhere else clicking buttons as quickly as possible.

If it were JUST trans people then your argument would maybe make sense. But people are doing the same thing about EVERY minority group no matter how “objectionable” or “unobjectionable” that media tries to paint them. My explanation means people are way less stupid than your explanation would. Like you really feel Americans BELIEVE that about 1:3 people live in Texas and 1:3 live in Texas and 1:3 live in California and no one lives anywhere else? No, they just don’t conceptually understand percentages. Simple

It absolutely does not. Straight people are everywhere in every single piece of media including those that would be labeled as LGBT media. In most such LGBT media queer people are still numerical minorities in the stories that are principally about them. Queer representation in media is still vanishing slim compared to the actual proportions of our society

For Yahweh’s sake, don’t give them ideas about needing more lebensraum.

I agree with you. Some of these numbers are way off. The trans and gay percentages are way off. And the estimated ethnic minority percentages alone add up to way over 100%.

What makes you think this? There's another explanation here that some people believe being trans is "fashionable" and kinda are being "groomed." If you turn on Fox News you will see they truly think this is an epidemic. Why do you think that is less likely than your explanation that people are just really stupid and don't understand percentages, but really actually understand the true percentage of trans people in society?

Or is says a lot about how many young people are being born recently.

Very cool. How did you make this?

Blame it both on right and left.

LGBTQ+ representation in film and TV tends to over estimate their proportions and right wing media does the same to incite fear mongering.

21 percent are transgender? I can guess where they get their news from

Once you get it, map the standardized error with colorscale. And don't do the cheap average per departement or municipality. I know for a fact that in 18th and 17th arrondissements of Paris, you can get very different rates. So for each appartment, one point on the map with the error as color. Rich neighbourhoods should pop up.

edit : for mapping purposes, take a look at geopandas. very close to pandas. easy to use : gdf.plot()

Seeing the low percentage in third world countries is very sobering to look at…. Really hammers home the point of how important our location is on our longevity

92% of the population in NY, TX and CA apparently.

Plenty of lebensraum 😬 can't understand why they think they deserved to expand into other sovereign territories.

I prefer YYYY-MM-DD the best format, and easily sorted.

I’m gonna hate when summer comes and the rivers flood…
