While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.
Be better than how your enemies treat you.
- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.
- Stay on topic!
Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

I think Americans don't understand what 21% means. Like the only one I think is even remotely in the ballpark is the B and if you mean "out to themselves and others" then not even that. Seriously though, this is a bit more than 1 in 5. If that portion of Americans were trans most people you know would have at least one trans relative, or you'd be seeing a lot of families that are mostly trans people. At that rate you wouldn't just have a few options here and there, you'd have trans specific gyms, you'd have several trans coworkers, you'd have to learn new names for people in your life annoyingly often.
At 21% we would outnumber each racial group except white (non Hispanic).
I really can't emphasize this enough, if we were 21% of the population, based on basic observation, we're so much better at passing for cis than anyone thinks, because if that's the case we're looking at in the upper 90% range of completely indistinguishable.
