Protesters interrupted the CNN LGBTQ town hall on Thursday to highlight the plight of black transgender women, at one point taking the mic from a questioner.

Advocates tracked the deaths of at least 26 transgender people in the US in 2018, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In 2019, at least 19 transgender people have been fatally shot or killed, according to HRC.

Bringing out my Planck length violin. 26 homicides represent 0.18% of all gun homicides.

Black Trans “Women” make up roughly .007% of the total U.S. population.

Could “Blossom” have been a troll like the “eat the babies” lady that punked AOC?

If so, somebody deserves some high fives!

[VTenigma]

The terms “inmates” and “asylum” come to mind a lot lately.

“Black Trans “Women” make up roughly .007% of the total U.S. population.”

That much? Our population is 325,000,000 people. That’d make .007 a shade over 2 million!

If l can find it l watch some of this. It must have been a circus. A Dali painting come to life.

[Borges]

apparently about 0.6% identify as trans. And 12% of the U.S. population is black so I multiplied the two. But I didn’t account for sex so feel free to correct my math!

One of them may actually play 007.

I LOLed at that, love it.

You neglected the % in doing that calculation. .007% of 325 million is 22,750 (same as multiplying by .00007). But his number doesn’t account for the sex part, so the actual number is even smaller.

“... the plight of black transgender women...”

The murders of black tranny women in DC were done in black neighborhoods ....

“I went to sleep and dreamed I was a butterfly. When I woke up from the dream I wondered: ‘Am I a man who dreamed I was a butterfly? Or am I a butterfly who is now dreaming that I’m a man’?”

When will these people wake up and embrace reality?

[Migraine]

You weren’t supposed to mention that.

[Migraine]

Actually I think it would be fewer than 23 thousand.

[beef]

22750. You are off by 2 orders of magnitude.

[Personal Responsibility]

Yeah, I didn’t see the % sign. Did the math at .007, not .00007.

So CNN is presenting a man who thinks he's a girl, disrupting a host who happens to be a man who enjoys sword swallowing.

I thought the sideshow was a thing of the past!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Freak show.
