The "trans issue" and the GOP

[BlackSkimmer]

10. The number of transgender folks is much lower than gay, black , immigrant. or any other group you

might choose.

So the likelihood of "more and more" folks becoming aware is not at all likely simply by "knowing" someone. Pretty much everyone learned that they knew a gay person over the last 40 years, but that's not the case for trans folk.

I knew several men who transitioned back in the 80s, early 90s...long before it was on most people's radar. I lived in Key West, where nothing was unusual to any of us.

Now that I'm back on the mainland, though I see gay folks all the time, even in my little red town, trans folks are few and far between.

So "folks becoming aware" is probably not going to happen the way you might hope. Just an observation.
