Needs to skip the maps and go right to the charts at the bottom. I was thinking this was a junk study since the map was pretty close to just being a population density map until I got down to the charts. Not a surprise since they're measuring volume of searches and that'll always correlate to population.

It's just research!
Don't forget femboys and the entire set of gay porn. Double down on that closeted "Christian values".

Doesn't this imply that there are more trans people in Republican areas than non-Republican areas?
Why would it?
To me, this reads as that Republicans want to dominate something that appears exotic to them. Same reason why, to my recollection, right-leaning people tend to favor interracial porn over left-leaning people. So it's not that there's a lot of trans people in red states, it's probably that there's very few of them. I suspect that increasing the amount of trans people in red states might actually decrease the searches for trans porn
this is just… misinformation. At best, a loosely carried out statistics experiment.
Of course they are.
Oh shit.. oh no.. this can't fucking be.. am I Republican?!?! /s
You’ve fallen into a logical of fallacy of confirming the consequent.
