New research has revealed trans people are more likely to come from poorer backgrounds and have worse mental health.

Yes, the title is implying a corrolation because that's exactly what the study found. ‘poor people outnumber rich people’ wouldn't be a good title because the article is specifically about trans people and omitting that doesn't achieve anything, and is also wrong since the study is already adjusted for population. It doesn't say there are more trans people in poorer areas, it says there are more trans people per 100 000 people in poorer areas.

Why do you people always assume you know more than academic resarchers

Don't you people me.

I assume that many headlines are clickbait bullshit, because they are more often than not. You can point out that I'm wrong without being an ass about it.

I'm sorry, struck a nerve. I'm just frustrated at the general vibe of cynicism here
