Americans. don't know who they are!?

Earlier this year, [b]YouGov[/b] asked Americans to estimate what percentage of American adults fall under a certain identity group. On average, respondents assumed that
[b]30% of Americans are Jewish,[/b]

[b]27% are Muslim[/b]

[b]21% are transgender[/b] and

[b][i]20% earn more than a million dollars a year.[/i] [/b]

In reality, each of those groups account for
[big] [b]less than 2% of the population[/b].[/big]
[i]YouGov is an international research data and analytics group.[/i]

Why is transgender its own category like Muslim and Jewish Transgenders don't exist?
They make it sound like an entirely new religion lol

@NickiHijab it IS a reveal of how ignorant people are.
there could be unlimited categories, these are just the responces of those asked
aaand. they are horribly wrong
I met a transgender Muslim this week.

@NickiHijab im transgender.. but im a total agnostic.. we are all different. Plus i am really not part of the trans community. I have always done my own thing.

NickiHijab · F

@Chelsiegirl that was my point. Transgender exist from all walks of life.

SatyrService · M

and the point of the post is topoint out how ill informed most of us are.@NickiHijab @Chelsiegirl 10 years ago transgender was not a common idea

@SatyrService what point are u trying to make with ur post and why is it of importance?

SatyrService · M

@Chelsiegirl important? I think more interesting. that so many mis-estimate the makeup of our country and that may be driving some of the hostility so many experience. [i]I did not make these categories[/i] I am sure many other categories are left out as well @NickiHijab
note the red ones are as actually exist,( census data) where the blue ones are what people think is true
