Unless you're providing statistical evidence to back up your claims, I'm not interested in discussing further.
You can continue making whatever excuses you want to justify your mild transphobia, but I'm done debating with you, and haven't even read this response because it's nonsense.
Whatever excuse you need to justify how an individual's request for you to respect their pronouns, their identity as a human being, is up for debate because it somehow inconveniences you.
Statistical significance of what? The number of people who vaguely see that gender identification is important to some people, but who don't quite get why is such a big deal so they don't spend a lot of time thinking about it, which results in some people being somewhat offended sometimes?
What i mean by people taking advantage of the movement for attention has less to do with statistical significance and more to do with the fact that most people hear or experience very little information about gender dysphoria outside of very vocal or exaggerated examples. Is that statistically significant? I'll try to answer that if you can give me even a ballpark number that you think would define either side of that equation, with the overwhelming guess being that you have no more idea than i do. My examples are anecdotal just like im guessing you're are.
