All while balancing out the market forces that

- lose their shit when the human torch is black

- terrorize Leslie Jones for being a woman or something

- goes batshit over a black James Bond

I have no idea if these statistics are accurate, but if 0.58% of the population of the US is transgender, that means that less than half of one percent of less than half of the entertainment market is being misrepresented to everyone else. It also means that if more than one in 200 roles is transgender, then transgendered people are being over-represented in Hollywood.

I'll bet that number is under 1 in a thousand.
