“I researched different statistics online. I thought “okay, as a queer person of colour whose family disowned them and ended up homeless, I had this much of a percentage of a chance of surviving until age 25.” Statistics usually say that something is statistically insignificant when the data set is not large enough to accurately represent the population being studied. This means, that as a queer person of colour with my history, I am almost always a part of the stats that are deemed to be insignificant. These are the odds that people refuse to quantify because quantifying peoples’ success, especially if they don’t think you’re going to make it, is to them, not worth the effort. Me getting into law school was ‘insignificant’ statistically, but whether or not I would kill myself or commit acts of violence, those things are considered to be statistically significant – there’s a ton of research on these things.” - @jsandmeyer - Issue 6, The Mental Health Edition. . . @esthergoodboy . . #butch #butchisnotadirtyword #queer #lgbtqia #gender #qpoc (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89ZjqyBxgM/?igshid=1u64jdtju2if9 -- source link
