    Yes. But the US rate of openly trans people is like 6 out of 1000. The army is 7.5 out of 1000. So it’s not a huge margin when we don’t know how many stealth, closeted or eggs in either population.

    Edit: I used the above figures in my maths, but it’s a bit higher because the military is like 1.4million. which is just above 1% or 10 out of 1000. But the comment still stands that in the military where you can’t exactly be stealth, but you were also safe to be out of the closet for a while recently, it might not be that different from actual rates.
