    Yeah, I don’t think we give enough credit to shows like Will and Grace or Queer Eye that showed the greater population examples of relatable people from the community. We are a long ways from having trans representation that way.

      That and the “traditional” gay population makes up anywhere from 5-10% of the entire population, which is huge compared to the .3 -.5% of people who identify as trans.

      It’s also why the democratic party as a whole isn’t willing to stick up for the trans community, they aren’t statistically relevant to the only thing they care about, elections.
