Why is Gawker being condemned for outing a gay man but Breitbart isn't for outing Wu?

lolwut? Sorry, but you don't understand how statistics work. Show me that transgender people are more likely to commit murder or rape and we can have a discussion.

I already did show you, I actually demonstrated it to you how one can use non capita based statistics in any extremely small demographic to make vastly inaccurate statistical statements that while 100% statistically correct, are also 100% statistically wrong because the statistics were not derived from a per capita statistic & so are immaterial to any real conversation on the topic.

So if you have to ask straight after I've demonstrated it, that means that you either didn't read what you were already told, or you didn't understand what you read, so which is it?

It's not about the number of suicides/suicide attempts, it's about the disparity in percentages.

It's exactly about the number. If you have two groups, group A has a starting pool of 2 people, group B has a starting pool of 100 people, an group A has something occurring 50% of the time & group B only has something happen 3% of the time, even though 3% is smaller than 50%, the 3% still contains more people, because I'm utilizing a non per capita statistic.

So while there is a vast disparity in statistics, there is not a vast disparity in occurrences. This is why we use per capita statistics when talking about vastly different population masses.

Edit: If you deny this you're denying all statistical analysis.

No I'm simply pointing out your inability to understand statistical analysis, what with one of us in this discussion having an academic background in statistical modeling & the other person being you.
