“What Do People Not Realize Has An Extremely Low Chance Of Happening?” (50 Answers)

This..I don't lose a thought about what gender a person prefers in private..just none of my business

Gender/sexual orientation is not likely to make you an attacker; it’s likely to make you a victim.

Agreed. I don't care as what anyone identifies, it's just non of my business. And the chance to be attacked by a transgender person are as OP says basically zero. However have I checked a bathroom stall late at night on an empty stretch of autobahn? Heck yes. Why? Bc any attacker could hide in one of those and those are NOT transgender persons. Have I decided to not use a rest stop bc of that when I was travelling alone, yes. So this is the main problem and I don't really have an answer on how to prevent that. Edit: and before you think these things don't happen: I have been asked on a rest stop, how much it would cost for an hour 😳 I have been harrassed multiple times when using the toilet, I have been followed around on a rest stop... no transgender person in sight just regular men. And also NOT in the US but in Switzerland!

You worded it very well. I completely agree.

It's the thought of men in women only spaces by people who deliberately misgender trans women. The issue isn't about women's spaces it's a platform for transphobic attacks.

Exactly! No one says anything about gay women and men. But gender identity scares people way more than that for some bizarre reason.

Because sexual orientation is not relevant. Sexus however is. Amab people are more likely to be perpetrators than AFAB.

Why would a persons sexual orientation make them any more likely to do a crime?

There are quite a few people who DO think just that, sadly.

You said it very well.

Yeah, let's all just s**t in the lobby,

Actually, I’ve seen concern about the safety of trans men in men’s spaces. Specifically, I’ve seen concerns about trans men being assaulted in men’s shelters.

https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/18973/pdf/ The UK Department of Justice's own figures show that not to be the case. A DOJ report from 2020 on convicted sex offenders in UK prisons as a percentage of the total prison population showed the following statistics: 16.8% (13,234/78,781) of male prisoners, 3.3% (125/3812) of female prisoners, and 58.9% (76/129) of female-identifying transgender prisoners were convicted sex offenders. Further, of those 76 transwomen, 36 had been convicted of rape and another 10 of attempted rape. So according to official government statistics, on a per capita basis transwomen prisoners are over three times more likely to be sex offenders than are men, and nearly twenty times more than are women. I know this comment will be downvoted to Hell but I am only quoting facts as laid out in the official government figures.

You must be new here, lol. Bored Panda is notorious for using the silly pseudonym "unalived" in their posts.

**Kill murder death die dead suicide** There. Now Bored Panda thinks I just unalived a whole bus full of puppies and orphans.

They censor certain words to avoid having the site be blocked in certain countries, which would hurt the revenue stream they need to stay afloat.

And so badly. Wil they kall the owner

At least they didn't change it to "unalive" this time lol

Maybe it was kull? Koll? Kall, kell, koll, kyll?

Yes. They didn't here and now I'm traumatised.

Making a note to make some special candy to hand out for the adults that may want some this year.

*Decade

I'm tired of it being one hell of a year, every year since 2016.

2020 wasn't done yet, it just said "hold my beer"

Still better than 2020

yes, but we often forget to put things into perspective. Like, yes, 2024 was a hell of a year. But many other years/decades were, too. For instance, from 1880 through 84 (and I chose that knowing practically nothing about them) had a volcanic eruption (Krakatoa) that killed over 30k people, was the second largest in recorded history, and made the loudest sound humans have ever heard, causing a 'volcanic winter', where temperatures plunged by around 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit; the assassination of a president (Garfield) and the Tsar of Russia; and the First Boer War and Anglo-Egyptian War. 1760-64 had parts of the Seven Years' War, the world's first global war, a transit of Venus (a very rare scientific thing), and Bayes' theorem announced. We tend to underestimate how important historical events are, but while there is an argument that the past while was a hell of a year, you could make that argument for most years.

Everything has gone to hell since Robin Williams died. He was our anchor being.

Every year since 1/21/2001 (2001/1/21) has been a helluva year

Wait for 2025...

What brain??

Have I really been downvoted for a joke about Trump's brains being in his feet? Jeez, you're a tough feckin' audience here.
