Also from the article:

If you are a hate group like the Republican Party, trans people make a pretty good target, because there are so few of them (about 1.6 million in the U.S., or roughly 0.48% of the population), and also because general public acceptance of them is very recent and nowhere close to total, which means that their demonization and persecution can proceed far more directly.


I had no idea what the number of trans people was but figured it was small & wondered just how many trans people have the nut jobs actually encountered? They are way more likely to encounter a vegetarian than a trans person & I've been veg for a long, long time & until the past 12-15 years, I've almost always been the only veg in the room, especially when visiting my small town rural past. Despite that, they are sharpening their claws for trans people. We must not remain silent.
