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.

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
