I was in an all guys group but then the DM and 3 of the guys had kids so it ended.
I imagine there’s a lower percentage of trans players outside of these online spaces

Percentages get crazy when you start talking about 8 billion people. 1% is 80 million. If 1% of that found lemmy the
activeuser base would be almost half Trans. (I found around 1.2 millionactivelemmy users on some website, and 800,000 is 1% of 80,000,000)1.2 million active lemmy users
There’s no way that’s true. I’d guess there are ~30000 active users on the entire threadiverse. 1.2 million is total registered users ever, across all servers, including spambots and such.

Aren’t >95% of people online lurkers? With that in mind, is it really surprising that the amount of trans stories are many? I mean, why would someone post a story about how they’re not trans.
Weird. I started prefacing everything I said in World of Warcraft chat with “I’m not gay, but” and people found it super offensive.
I mean, it’s just really important to me as a person that others know I am not gay.
I’m not gay btw.

All my friends got married and now half the table is spouses with a few spots reserved for a cameo from one of the kids

Beats me, I didn’t pull the data.
Fediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.
We observe all Fediverse Sites. Find a Lemmy site to sign up for, find one close to you using a list, map or let us auto-pick one for you!

1% is 1/100. So not on every bus, but every 2 or 3 busses.
Also tend to be poorer, like public transit. So maybe every bus.
Ehhh… Where’d that come from?

Might just be where trans people spawn if there aren’t any trains nearby. I know straight cis people come in at the DMV sports games and starbucks

I am happy that trans people can be who they want to be, even if there is still a long way to go. But I am thrown by how statistics, that consistently give numbers of <1% to 3% for transsexual people in the general population, don’t match the number of transitioning stories I read online. I get why that is, safe space, confirmation bias and all, but it’s such a major disconnect between experience and actual numbers that it constantly trips me up. From what I read online, the percentage of trans people feels like it’s around 20-30%. Or, in this case, 50%.
It’s the same bias as cops and black people. The real questions is how that bias came to be while the class struggle is consistently ignored.

How’s this related to the gender ratio in the Dungeons & Dragons community?

I think I meant yo reply to a comment about the rarity of trans people relative to how often one hears trans narratives, so I gave context to how often that is. Therefore: straight cis people spawn at starbucks

Trans people are like 1% of the population, so I’m sure of that.

My DND group is all men, because it’s just me. Someone please play with me.

I think nerdy stuff is attractive to people on the autism spectrum, and while people on the spectrum tend to like consistency, they also have trouble recognizing social norms, let alone following them. So some act that is in large part (from other people’s perspective, at least) a deviation from social norms isn’t that much of a problem to them. And why wouldn’t trans people prefer to be in spaces where people don’t care how they’re living their life? Now, add on that exposure tends to normalize social experiences, and people on the spectrum are already weird in their own way, and the neurotypical people in those nerdy spaces are already used to dealing with weird people. Adding a different flavor of weird isn’t that much of a stretch.
Or, to put it another way,
Nerdy stuff is stuff that you have to concentrate on and get deep into to enjoy. Which is the autist stock-in-trade

What’s even more perplexing to me is that in online spaces it seems to be almost exclusive MTF trans people, when IIRC FTM trans people are more common overall. But it sometimes feels like they don’t even exist.

My dad was one of the people who sincerely believed that “the queers are going to make everyone transition”, in part because trans people are able to be openly trans. But thankfully he died and is no longer able to spew his teansphobic hateful rhetoric.
