College is so expensive cis people can imagine somebody transitioning just to get a sports scholarship.

    Cis people are really good at making up the most absurd and contrived reasons for transitioning, they will come up with some elaborate espionage plot before they admit that being trans is a moderately common thing that occurs at about the same rate as ADHD. Meanwhile, none of them have a problem with believing that albinos exist, even though albinism has an incidence of about 1:20,000 in humans and i've never met a person with albinism in my entire life.

  • I know that being left handed is a lot more common among queer people, some statistics say it occurs twice as often which would mean one out of four. That seems a bit much, but I absolutely see a lot of left handed people in trans spaces.

    I have no numbers for Adhd except the baseline prevalence being about 2% in adults. I do know that autism has increased incidence among trans people, and the same is suspected for some forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. And I would expect Adhd to also be more common, most of my friends have a diagnosis.
