NC House Bill 2 - Part 2



I was in a rush when I completed my last post about this. I used population data from the last census. I have updated my calculations to adjust for the average growth in North Carolina. 10,679,741 adjusted NC population, (average 10 year growth (20%) divided by 10 times 6 (12%) times 2010 census data plus 2010 census data). So this will update my calculations to the following:

Is North Carolina being horribly unfair to transgenders?

The facts behind North Carolina's House Bill 2:

Percentage of population that is transgender: 0.3%
Population of North Carolina: 10,679,741
Number of sex offenders in North Carolina: 65,414
Current rate of rape victimization in the US: 0.04%

Let's do the math then shall we? Number of transgender people in North Carolina (based on 0.3% of total population): 32,029. Number of registered sex offenders in North Carolina: 65,414. Percentage of  the population in North Carolina that are registered sex offenders (registered sex offenders divided into total population): 0.6%. There are twice the number of registered sex offenders!

So, in light of this information would you be concerned for your daughter, niece, mother, wife, sister, or other female relative? Look at the math, I'd say we should be!

As you can see, this takes the figure from "over twice" to just twice the number of registered sex offenders as transgenders in the state. Not a life changing difference, but you know how liberals like to look for inconsistencies!
