Wow! Three trans people all under one roof discovering themselves as trans! What are the odds?!? I mean that's literally statistically impossible unless it's a social contagion

:3c transgenderism has about 1% incidence rate
i don't know about the amount of ppl living in three-person households but that alone would make 1 per million of them all trans

also, two of them are related which rises the odds sgnificantly.

the only weird thing i see is timing /shrug

There's around 340 million people in America. About 1 million or so identify as trans. That's less than 1%. Closer to a third of a point.

Assuming trans is "random", that means you have about a 1 in 340 chance of being trans.

Being related shouldn't affect that likelihood, since, as claimed, it's "not a contagion" and thus isn't subject to influence. So it would be 1/340 each time, for each person, no matter their social situation.

So the chance of three trans people happening in the same spot is 1/340 * 1/340 * 1/340, or about 1 in 39,304,000.

it being random is the worst case scenario which is clearly not the case for the reasons i've described above

just assuming trans people will only chose other trans people or accepting cis people as partners makes them concentrate way more (one possble reason for being accepting is being trans oneself)

If we're talking about the actual condition, it's genetic. And even if we're not, other behaviors are also based on genetics.

Nope. It's never been proven in any way shape or form to have a genetic origin, or to even be a real thing. Many trans are against the idea of using brain scans to try and prove it is, too, probably because some of them know deep down it's not.

Also, makes no sense for you to claim here, since a genetic disorder would be subject to true probability like I demonstrated, and would not be influenced by proximity to other people with those genetic markers.

It's not been proven, but few things have. However there's an interesting correlation between trannies and mutations in certain genes that control hormonal processes.

But, this correlation ONLY applies to trannies with dysphoria. Which is why they don't want it researched, because a) it proves that a large percentage are faking it, b) it's evidence that this is a disorder and a bad thing.

I would like to see a study supporting this because I've never heard of anything close. The closest I've seen are those "gendered brain" studies that were since dismissed as bad science.
