The first equation can also be understood more simply as the total number of possible pairings, minus the number of straight ones. {{unsigned ip|162.158.23.191}} | The first equation can also be understood more simply as the total number of possible pairings, minus the number of straight ones. {{unsigned ip|162.158.23.191}} | ||

I think all genders being constant isn't really an assumption of the graph. Obviously the graph only works for a single moment in time in a TV show, since the cast changes over time with the plot of the show (such as when people die in the show). The graph already needs to be re-drawn every time someone enters or leaves the cast. For the data we're tracking, a sex change operation is the same as, for example, a man leaving the show and a woman subsequently entering it. Sure, you could then also say that the cast being constant is an assumption of the graph, but that's not really accurate either. The graph simply doesn't observe the passage of time. You'd have to add a time axis for that, making the graph three-dimensional.
