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)
