Burying the Lede

The headline:

Transgender people in Denmark have a significantly higher risk of suicide than other groups, an analysis of nearly seven million people over the last four decades found. The study is the first in the world to analyze national suicide data for this group. https://t.co/WzJ9dbKSW1 pic.twitter.com/hSsanxBFkZ

From deep in the article:

Twelve people in 41 years. Every death is tragic, of course, but it’s still 12 people in 41 years.

We will be bludgeoned over the head with this 7.7 statistic for years, and nobody will ever mention what the actual numbers are.

And we won’t be able to object because we have chosen to believe that Biden admitted to selling state secrets at a state dinner and a million other comforting lies, so our credibility in pointing out untruths is trending towards zero.
