The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What I should have added to make my point about that being statistically completely insignificant more clear: The "study" says

Of all students surveyed, 1 out of every 4, or 25.9%, reported being a victim of sexual assault in the past year.

Now imagine instead of 6 trans/nonbinary students just 1 less and therefore 5 would have said they were sexually assaulted in the last 12 months. 5 out of those 18 trans/nonbinary students, that's 27% of them.

Where exactly is the greater danger compared with the 25.9% of all students that said they were sexually assaulted in the last 12 months (Let's not even mention the now inverted percentages if just 2 less trans/nonbinary would have said.....).

Seems if anything then this "study" is evidence for the opposite.
