Whilst we're on shoe sizes...

Let's use maths to prove transphobia wrong again!

Here is a paper with some data on the range of women's shoe size https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232851673_Foot_shape_of_older_people_Implications_for_shoe_design if you have a better one with more data, please link it

Although N is low, it's a bell curve as we'd expect
Let's reverse engineer the data

Either 4 of the samples weren't recorded, or fell outside of the range, or I've done something wrong. Either way we're pretty close
Here's the conclusion:

Even if we try and claim all the bigger ones are anomalies, and that the 4 missing data points are all in the size 4 box, there are roughly 10x the number of cis women with UK size 9 (US size 11) feet as there are trans women alive in total
This is the usual transphobia problem. Cis women outnumber trans women over 300 to 1, and they're a lot more varied that idiots think. This means that whatever nonsense you do to hurt trans women ALWAYS ends up hurting more cis women in total
Although transphobia hurts all trans people, and it hurts them a lot, most of the victims of transphobia are cis women
