Never cites actual numbers or sources of numbers. No one knows what it says. Just photos of bunches of numbers. For somebody apparently so well versed in all things Thai (though I heartily disagree) and trans (you’re clueless there), as well as crime metrics (again, clueless) it’s no big surprise that you lack basic comprehension of Thai population total, annual homicide rate, and proportion of the overall population identifying as trans. It doesn’t take a mathlete to discern from the Chi-squared crosstabs chart that 15 murders committed by the subpopulation of some 315,000 Thai trans folks would be the threshold at which murder rate would exceed, beyond conventionally statistically significant possibility of chance, that of 2,000 homicides committed among the total population of some 72 million. But it does take a non-contrarian. My initial post text should have stood and now there will be the usual minor array of whiners complaining about their short attention spans. In fact, age-adjusting, as trans status is developmental and that denominator reflects older mean/median age, raises the number up from 15 to 17; 11 homicides by trans persons would be the mathematically equivalent rate. However, such a simple analytical exercise will do little to influence the rigid anchoring of transphobia that is a central theme of this thread. That the news media is the source doesn’t water down the bias behind selective cherry-picking a crime report that lacks relevance to the general agenda of the board. unicorn 1 Quote
