That Gay Thread

[Huggy Bear]

From your own source, survey was taken in 2008 btw.
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....

Yes, people make money through criminal activity when legitimate employment is closed to them (It's pointed out that "(47%) said they had experienced an adverse job outcome, such as being fired, not hired or denied a promotion" because of their gender identity.) And if it's higher (which it almost certainly is), maybe that would suggest other factors. And speaking of which...

Remember when I posted about the diagnosis of "Gender Identity" being removed as a disorder because of optics?

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?

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".
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.

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.

I hope you realize that household income is combined that includes the spouse or partners income. A single income isn't 'household' income, unless you were a single parent I suppose.

Unless every single person on the survey had a partner, I don't belive the surveys description of household income is accurate.
