Access to gender-affirming care (GAC) varied across gender identity when comparing trans men to AFAB nonbinary individuals (Table 2.5). For example, both groups highly desired top surgery; however, trans men were significantly more likely to have already undergone the procedure (32%) compared to AFAB nonbinary individuals (10%). Both groups also showed interest in hysterectomies, though access again differed, as 10% of trans men had undergone a hysterectomy, while only 2% of AFAB nonbinary individuals had. Overall, this indicates that while transgender men and AFAB nonbinary individuals often seek similar forms of care, nonbinary individuals experience a larger gap between desiring a procedure and receiving it, possibly due to systemic barriers or variations in how medical providers approach nonbinary transition-related care.

When comparing across gender, some similarities exist between transgender women and AMAB nonbinary individuals in their desires for certain procedures (Table 2.7). For instance, both groups wanted laser hair removal at high prevalences (54% of trans women and 58% of AMAB nonbinary individuals). However, transgender women were far more likely to have undergone the procedure (40%) compared to AMAB nonbinary individuals (15%), suggesting a greater gap between desire and access. In contrast, desires for surgical procedures diverge between trans women and AMAB nonbinary respondents. Trans women wanted vaginoplasty at much higher prevalences than AMAB nonbinary individuals (48% vs. 17%), and a substantially larger percentage of trans women already had the procedure (11% vs. 1%). These findings highlight that gender-affirming needs are not uniform across gender identity.

^ also from the 2022 USTS. & from the 2015 USTS:

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of respondents wanted to receive hormone therapy at some point in their life, but only 49% of respondents have ever received it. Ninety-two percent (92%) of those who have ever received hormone therapy were currently still receiving it, representing 44% of all respondents. A large majority of transgender men and women (95%) have wanted hormone therapy, compared to 49% of non-binary respondents. Transgender men and women were about five times more likely to have ever had hormone therapy (71%) than non-binary respondents (13%)

Me realizing it's about a beautiful lesbian couple and their gay son:

My heart:

um it’s really not considering that jews make up less than 2% of the global population at less than 16 million

Judaism is a foundational religion. There are fourteen offshoots, including but not limited to Islam, Christianity, Baha'i, Druze, and Rastafarian. Very literally half the world is Christian or Muslim. Islam is just over 25% and Christianity is almost 29%.

It's a form of supercessionism.

Also I regret to tell you we're not 2% of the population. We're 2% of the American population.

There are 14,000,000 Jews. Million with an M

That means there are 860,000,000 more Muslims and 860,000,000 more Christians.

Because Christians and Muslims murdered us.

So now on a planet with 9,000,000,000 people there are 8,860,000,000 (billion)Gentiles and 14,000,000 (million)Jews.

That’s what 0.02% means.

1,000,000,000-14,000,000 is not "860,000,000"

0.2%, not 0.02%.

1,000,000 is million, not billion.

There are about 16,000,000 Jews, a couple million more if you include people who are Jewish and something else (which is how many children of intermarriage identify, meaning this number especially undercounts American Jews)

This means that 1 in 500 people is a Jew, roughly. So if 3 school busses is 100 people, that's 15, not 150 school busses.

Because that is what it is. The belief system, customs, practices, and culture of the Tribe Yisrael that is closed to non-members of the Tribe.

There are around 15 million of us world wide. About 7 million in Israel and 8 in Diaspora.

Of the Diaspora 6 million are in the USA making it the largest of the Diaspora.
