    Statistically it probably wasn’t 45 men by today’s definition.

        what are you talking about? racist? I think they’re saying that since ~2% of the population identifies as trans and more are probably eggs, we likely had one trans president before, but they weren’t out to the public, or perhaps even themselves.

          I read it as him making a reference to black people being legally considered to be 3/5ths of a man back when the united states was founded. So if you go by those definitions, Obama wouldn’t have added up to “1”.

          Which is why I said thats pretty racist.

            But he said by today’s definition, and today the 3/5ths thing is in the past
