    Well, the survey does not show the distribution of answers. So my guess (it’s a guess, not data) is the people living in densely populated areas answered lower numbers, and people living in rural or remote areas ridiculously overestimated the number of trans people based on how much of a big “issue” medias are making of them.

      I’d honestly believe the opposite, with people living in liberal cities overestimating. Personallt, in a friend group of about 15, 4 are trans.

      Just because you’re progressive, doesn’t mean you’re good at math or understand statistics.
