Posting this at top level since its burried in replies:

Fact time. You don't always die when shot, and the US is a baby factory. I can't find good stats on non-lethal gunshot, so I'll do the rest.

Verdict: Pretty accurate.

• 8.4% without health insurance (33 in 400)
• 11.5% poverty rate (46 in 400)
• 20% adults at or below literacy level 1 (80 in 400)
• 57% mental illness untreated (228 in 400) (requires math from NIH source)

my favourite is how tennessee effectively made insurance more expensive for everyone because one trans child wanted to play sports with her friends in school

Those trans people better not play sports! /s

Because all the other shit is those two people's fault somehow, obvs.

Holy shit the literacy rate is kinda shocking..

Do people not like to read? A quarter of the population is fucking NUTS

If at least 1 person in the room of 400 is shot per day they'd be dead in just over a year...

Last I checked the population of the US wasn't plummeting, so what else is wrong here?

Now the post says shot and not killed. I think that distinction is important. But I imagine those statistics are insane.

That’s the beauty of the 400 system. Once you become part of one facet, you can achieve so much more. Poor? Now you have the opportunity to be illiterate and definitely not have health insurance. Which is convenient as you will either participate in or be privy to a crime that increases your odds of getting shot. Let’s say you hit the jackpot on all these and you recover from your injuries, you still have the opportunity to participate in mental illness!

Jesus saves and I'm a soldier for Jesus, but only in the ways that don't cost me money or require me to make any lifestyle changes or acknowledge that I may not be perfect. Now, who's doing something that I can tangentially relate to the Bible that I'm not doing and don't plan to ever do?

I appreciate the sentiment but this is just not a very good arguing strategy.

Transphobes don't think they're just ruining some poor innocent trans people's lives for fun and enjoyment, but they actually think they're improving society by combating bad people. They think trans women are just an evolution of "I can turn the lesbians straight with my dick" misogynist men, or out to abuse children. If those things were true, they would be entirely justified. But they're not.

If trans people hypothetically were the abusive creepy harassers that they make them out to be, it wouldn't matter how few there are in society. I am also sure child rapists or terrorists are a very small part of the overall population, but nobody would argue that people who try to combat child abuse or terrorism are "unfair" or "unreasonable" just because child rapists and terrorists are a small part of the population and there's bigger problems to worry about. It doesn't matter how few evil people there are if you want to combat evil.

The point that we should instead argue over and over again is that trans people are not perpetrators, and that gender is genuinely a social construct and not majorly biologically determined, so their genders are as real as others' since they're just a social performance anyway.

It's like playing the women's autonomy card against anti-abortion people. These people genuinely believe that abortion is cold-blooded child murder. And if that were true, then obviously a woman's right to commit murder would be ludicrous. No wonder they think we're crazy from their POV. The problem is, abortion is not child murder. We need to argue against their wrong world view.

2 are trans so you decide that ruining their lives is a priority

I get to marry them both?

This analogy is flawed.

It's the people who put the people in the room who set the priorities, not the ones inside the room.

Land of the free baby.

Wait is this stat for real or a hyperbole? Assuming this represents the demogrpahcis of US. With a population of 333 million, there are 1.6 million trans people and 830 000 prople are shot everyday?

Where is this happening? That's a very high shooting rate!

Go out and vote. Can't complain about that which you permit. Also Vote with your money and vote with your time. Those are the real impactful ones.

2 seems high
