    They’re a person, not a statistic. Telling someone fighting with depression that they’re going to lose that fight is a dick move and actively harmful. If this is a genuine mistake rather than transphobic ragebaiting, please consider the effects your words have on people.

    And to all the trans folk reading this: You got this. Don’t let haters get you down just because you’re making changes to improve your life. <3

    • Everyone is a statistic that’s how statistics works. I’m not telling them they gonna lose the fight I’m simply saying I don’t like the odds of that decision. Same as I don’t like the odds of playing blackjack (those are better odds tho ironically). I’m not tell u that u can’t gamble I’m simply pointing out its not a game I want to play.

        No, that’s the opposite, no one is a statistic, statistics work on populations, not on individuals. You have no clue what you’re talking about and you’re just spitting shit out of your mouth, get out.

        Interesting you bring up blackjack because there are absolutely people out there who, through skill, can flip the odds and make a profit (i.e. card counting).

        People aren’t automatons and don’t rigidly follow probabilistic models. Especially probabilistic models likely created to push an agenda.
