Cherry picked statistic of transgender suicide rate. They only look at that number, but never why that number is so high.
It's almost like constant bullying has a major effect on people's mental health
Is that referring to 41%, 41 per 1000, or some other metric entirely? Either way it's too damn high, but I'm curious and I don't know how to go about researching it without potentially making the almighty algorithm think I'm anti-trans.
Well,
41would imply41/1 = 41, so...CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
I don't understand, could you please elaborate?
x = x/1 = x is true for all numbers, no?
I mean to say that
41 implies 41/1 instead of 41/100 (41%) or 41/1000.
So 41 attempts per person.
It is supposed to be my attempt at humour.

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't offend you.
I'm still not sure if I understand the intended joke. An average of 41 attempts per person sounds horrific. I'm sure there is something that's going over my head, it's some kind of dark humor, correct?
I dunno. Maybe I'm just bad at making jokes, but you got the point.
41/1 = 4100/100 = 4100%Weereas,
41% = 41/100 = 0.41
