    Some West African frogs have been known to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single sex environment. Malcolm was right. Life found a way.

    This is very true. My D&D group started out with 5 guys. Now it’s just me and a bunch of girls

      My group once was three guys and three girls. Now it’s two and a half guys, two girls and one person without any gender. I am the only one who changed nothing.

    I am happy that trans people can be who they want to be, even if there is still a long way to go. But I am thrown by how statistics, that consistently give numbers of <1% to 3% for transsexual people in the general population, don’t match the number of transitioning stories I read online. I get why that is, safe space, confirmation bias and all, but it’s such a major disconnect between experience and actual numbers that it constantly trips me up. From what I read online, the percentage of trans people feels like it’s around 20-30%. Or, in this case, 50%.

      on top of what others have said, cis people don’t really tell the stories of their non-transition, do they

      no one will be like “my DnD group was all men. it’s still all men no one transitioned”, even if it’s probably the most common experience lol
