And if it's higher (which it almost certainly is), maybe that would suggest other factors. And speaking of which...
According to the survey 50% of trans made money through criminal activity.
I don't know what percentage of the overall black population make money through criminal means, but it damn sure ain't 50%. Maybe criminality correlates with unemployability? Whodathunk....

Yet 1 in 3 homeless have a mental illness and there is a high rate of homelessness in the black trans community...
So, how much of it is because of mental illness? I only ask because study after study has shown that, given gender-affirming care, mental illness tends to go down dramatically in trans folk. Maybe they're mentally ill because their gender isn't being validated? Have you considered that?
Quote:As mentioned before, 50% of the black trans in this survey were making money though criminal activity, which i'm sure is not being counted as legitimate "income".Given that $40k is still significantly lower than the $60,624 that was the median household income for Americans that year, and, indeed, is slightly lower than the median household income for black Americans that year ($41,239), this isn't much of a rebuttal.
Looking at the overall numbers, it appears that the majority of trans make $40k or above, which leads me to believe that this is a racial issue, and not a trans issue.
