Which shows just how patently absurd all of the hysteria and fearmongering of the conservative right over trans people is. But i guess that’s the point, they are picking a group to victimize that is too small to be able to mount an organized resistance now that they found that going after gay people was too hard. Due to this numerical inferiority it is clear that allies are needed, and this is where we should expect the next attack of the reactionaries to come. They will try to drive wedges between trans people and the larger queer community and its supporters. TERF-like ideologies will be developed to create this split while at the same time the right continues to escalate its propaganda campaign in order to justify more and more violent action by painting trans people as a grave threat to family and society.
happy bread day. 1.6M/226M trans people over 13yo estimated in the USA.
0.707%
0.7% seems low, but 1.6m is still very significant. Thanks for the stats.
https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/how-many-people-lgbt/ - apparently, same source I used for 1.6M trans over 13 said in this link that of people over 18 some 3.5% are LGB and 0.3% as T.
I expected around 5% LGBT (more among young people) so around there. Its definitely a minority, and trans are a minority among the minority.
Thanks.
