I kimd of am, why are so many relationships in media strsight? We need more lgbt representation

This is dumb and I’m probably getting offended for no reason but here’s a small experience I dealt with recently

So like 30 minutes ago my grandmother wanted me to smile so she told me to think of a pretty girl and while I didn’t react at all my first thought was literally “why not pretty boys” Its silly I know.

I’m not out but I literally couldn’t be leaving anymore hints that I’m bi. Its funny how nobody noticed yet

    They should get an inflated representation for the exact same that Tesla’s corpus of training data is skewed quite heavily to unusual situations. Just like a deep neural network, our brains will overfit to ‘regular’ situations and people. It’s a general tendency, and we steer against it by doing a kind of stylized stratified sampling: all of the ‘clusters’ (bipoc, trans, gay, disabled, etc) are depicted, and roughly in relation to their relative cluster sizes. But it doesn’t need to be in direct relation, in the same way as metro maps which dilate or compress distances are easier to read.

    Does it really matter that trans people comprise 0.44% or, say, 5% of the population? We exist so you’ll need to familiarize yourselves with us :)

      as posted by a mod above, I am not allowed to discuss this, because, through some twisted logic, doing so would be “hindering the discussion due to lack of empathy”. I am respecting the mod’s request, despite disagreeing with it. But it also needs to go both ways… you should stop replying to this post and leave me alone.
