I mean, you could run correlations with Openness to experience or with age, right? I guess there's probably too small of a sample size to do a lot of interesting analysis with it, but I'm sure one could do some.

There's a first order effect--trans people having higher openness--and a second order effect--high openness communities having more trans people--and I'm more confident of the second than I am of the first.

When it comes to age, a quick calculation of average by group (throwing out three age outliers):

F_______26.8
MtF_____23.5
M_______28.7
FtM_____23.1
Other___26.1
Overall_28.1
