Tia, yes it is. A story was related about a congressman who was told about some transgender issue. He asked, ‘how many people does this affect’? ‘A lot of people’ was the reply. ‘But how many’? There was no reply, because there were no valid numbers. Without the data, our cries often times fall on deaf ears. It sure is hard to justify something without the data to back it up. It is all about empirical evidence, not anecdotal evidence….. Michelle
