AI overview from a quick Google search (take it as you will). Most estimates I’ve seen are between 0.6-1% of the population. It’s hard to give an exact number.
not really, because we're not census'd, there hasn't been a lot of effort to figure out how big a demographic we are. It also depends on how one defines being trans, but like... Not a ton. I've seen estimates between .2% - 1% of the population experience some degree of gender variance.
Young man, there's no need to feel down, I said
Young man, pick yourself off the ground, I said
There's no need to be unhappy

You really think that was the main reason Dems lost and this should be their reaction?
1. I've wasted my voting life in this party
2. You and our party should look deeper.
3. Maybe I should look closer. I guess 1% of the population is more powerful than I thought
Go ahead and vote GOP .No one cares .We Dems are tired of losing 10 percent vote for 1 percent .Yes many of the dems I knew who voted in 2020 got tired of this TRANS stuff either sat at home or voted Trump
Hmm I agree .But a party should be in power to do something .We gotta prioritize when majority of society turning hateful towards something .They detest T in LGB .Even LGB detesting T is shocking me
Yeah, I'm sure when your hurrying to the bathroom to take a shit you'd just be overjoyed to find men prancing around like entitled idiots in a space meant solely for you.
The one guy has a full on beard!
Are we not even PRETENDING these are women anymore?
it's wild who you can tell who doesn't get out much by who thinks that men and women are instantly vaporized the moment they enter the wrong restroom, like they've never been to a packed club or a venue with a broken bathroom
My boss used the women's bathroom the other day because the men's was full. I had to get a broom to sweep up his human dust once he was vaporized. What a mess. Having to find a new employer was a nightmare. Just kidding, we all use the same bathroom. Those people are so ridiculous.
I love the idea that you watched your boss vaporize in front of you and then the company demanded that you find a new boss, like it was your price to pay for not warning him about the Gender Curse.
I once had to use the men's room at a football stadium which entailed walking past dozens of men lined up at troughs to pee, and somehow I made it out alive! Didn't get raped or nothing. Imagine that!
can you imagine living a life so filled with fear that using the men's restroom at a public sports stadium is considered a notable emergency and not a disgusting inconvenience? couldn't be me
it's all privileged cis women who usually don't work who have the time and resources to spend worrying, thinking about how other people use the restroom, when everyone involved on their side just needs a therapist and a handle on their delusions
You're I'm the minority, very few other people see a trans person trying to pee and start privately sexualizing children, that is entirely your brain worms telling you that harming children is okay as long as you have an excuse to hate trans people.
Why are you so focused on adults having sex with children in bathrooms?
And more concerningly, why are you so intent on projecting that if it were not for a little icon of a stick person in a skirt on a door, you’d be in there raping everyone you could grab.
2/2 & Let’s be honest, you wouldn't like a biological woman who’s transitioned & now is a muscular male-presenting person in the ladies toilet with your “little girl”.
You’d love him using the ladies bathroom right? Because he was bio-female at birth?
And if I’m being honest I don’t think I ever once in my life cared or payed attention to who was using a bathroom with me- like ever. Male/female/trans- I wouldn’t know. I’m kinda focused on the task at hand, ya know? lol
Male privilege, loud and proud! It is an overused term, often mistakenly so, but hell, if you really want to own it, and you're going to try this hard, you got it.
If I'm in the stall, I'll take notice if someone comes in.
And if they're already in there....just so everyone is aware....I do judge people on whether or not they wash their hands.
I’m the opposite. I stay aware for my safety everywhere in public. Because, somehow, I’ve never once believed that an icon on the door generated a magical force field to protect me from dangerous people whatever their gender.
There have been more Republican men arrested for bathroom shenanigans than Trans men or women. Republicans have only one thing to offer and that is hate.
Can you imagine minding your own business to see Nancy Mace’s hideous mug under my bathroom stall door. I’m not responsible for my actions if I see her goony looking face bathroom stall stalking…
Might as well dance in a bathroom, in the rest of the damn place their just voting for more genocide, crimes, and war...way to show the world what's really important to ya.

The funny part is that if MTG or whomever showed up and they were trying to kick people out, they would short circuit on trying to explain how the dude with a beard needs to stay but all the women should leave
The same people that say that they can tell are the same that would call Sigourney Weaver & Geena Davis "men" because "women don't have strong jawlines"
Due to their failure to 'always tell' I've seen them making more and more absurd criteria for 'how to tell', the latest one being "cis women don't wear skirts in the winter".
Me looking at various women in skirts this winter thinking "pretty sure most/all of them are cis actually"
I'm a cis het woman who is marginally taller than average, but still under 6 ft. I lean far more towards "blimp" than "chiselled." On more than one occasion I've been asked if I'm "really a man" because I'm taller than them and have told them to fuck off when they annoyed me. They can't tell.
To be fair, I suspect it was being told where to go, in no uncertain terms, that aroused their initial suspicions. My height just added fuel to the fire.
They would short circuit on a lot of trans people. I’m not presenting female full time yet but if you check under my hood I’m not male down below as I’ve already had some bottom surgeries done. This whole issue is absurd, does it really matter where someone chooses to use the bathroom?
They get 😡 cuz after getting hard their grooming kicks in and makes them feel shameful.
They've been groomed into a "Me" only mindset, which is completely UNAMERICAN.
All trans i know are amazing ppl. None have ever tried to convince me to be something I'm not.
Unfounded fear.
So now we are stupid?
Stop believing the right wing propaganda. If Transgendered are below average intelligence they would not Transition and go on thinking there is no relief to there situations. We are not sheep that’s why they fear us.
Funny def's were mentioned. Def's are big part of what is tearing us apart. Words have been minced over many gens that we are speaking diff languages. Sounds 🤪 , it's 💯. I've many who'll back it.
Hence the word "oppression".
👀 my 📌 post to really 👀 what's up. If you want. Many layers
And Mace thought wearing pink makes her a real woman. Nope. I met a trans years ago and she was more woman than Mace could ever be. So screw Mace and the horse she rode in on!
I live in a heavily conservative area. Our factory (~1,000 employees) only this summer got a couple trans women, and tons of women weren't happy. They've since embraced our new trans coworkers and I never hear it brought up. There's hope.
I like going through comments sometimes and wondering if they are bots or not.
I went through yours and you just seem like a pretty cool dude~. Keep at it!
Is it not brought up because they feel safe now? Or because these women are afraid to ve harassed? There's a difference. Workplace should be safe znd comfortable for everyone
Well, I mean to say it would go away were it not for the incoming multi-phobic, authoritarian, oligarchical administration. Under its megalomaniacal thumb the problem will get worse before it gets better. 😭😿
This country is becoming more and more weird everyday. However I do believe in freedom so they can do what they want even if I don’t personally like or understand it. That’s America.
The Supreme Court is about to take away trans healthcare for children and adults around the country, and the incoming congress is likely to do far more than that.
But sure, the issue here is the timing of a dance party.
Womens bathrooms are where it's AT! Men are just jealous of the fabulous sisterhood we have imo. Men's bathrooms are spaces where eye contact and talking is taboo, women's bathrooms are for gossip, bonding, sharing, and support. :)
I was in an all-gender bathroom at the Brooklyn library and I was so happy and shocked that we can live like this and it not be a big deal. I loved it, and "interviewed" two women, as a man, while we were washing our hands. We all loved it. It gave me a feeling of normalcy, hope, freedom, and ease.
A drag show to highlight the issue of trans rights, would probably not be the best of ideas, given the common thing of conflating being trans with drag
This kinda reminds me of bringing my cis gay friends to the ladies' room at the gay club we went to in summer 1984. There were a couple of transgals who were quite entertaining. I never felt threatened by them. It was sometimes festive. Mostly just normal. I asked my guy friends what it was like in
their restroom. They joined me & had a great time watching the show & all the laughs. I visited the men's room & it was incredibly boring. I was all of 22 & it bothers me how intolerant people are 40 yrs later. I've worked with trans women & never once did I care about them in the ladies' room.
I wish this didn’t happen. We are trying to show folks that trans folks are good, safe, normal people. Educated people who just want a safe good life. Bragging about this behavior stops conversations. Very few citizens twerk it down in that restroom. Most can’t relate.
Nothing they (transfemales) do or don't do will make any difference to the hardcore transphobes. Once ignoramuses see that they look just like those who were born female at birth, the transphobes might simmer down on their hate rhetoric. At least this video makes them look cool (a plus).
OK so when this doesn't work do we get to start hitting people? Because that's probably what its going to take since the right only understands violence.
if they are stopping you from practicing your rights, than yes!
If they are barring you from the bathroom, for example, you can shove them (although i would advise to call security)
Now that’s how you turn protest into joy! Trans folks throwing a dance party in the Capitol bathroom is the kind of bold, creative resistance we need. Dancing for equality and dignity - love to see it!!
The point of alt text is so that people who can’t see the image well enough to read it can have their screen reader read it to them. Why did you even bother if you weren’t actually trying to make the image accessible?
I appreciate that you used alt-text, but the point is that it _cannot_ be read by screen readers for persons with visual impairment. That is the purpose of alt-text, not to be snarky and dismissive.
Nothing sends a clearer message to the electorate about how acceptable trans folks are than a bunch of them gyrating on eColi covered surfaces at the expense of tax payers. The left still doesn't understand why our country is moving right while promoting garbage like this. Ignorance is bliss🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sí, y también hay que garantizarles a las personas racializadas la libertad de llevar cubreboca mientras manifiestan por nuestros derechos. Supongo que más de ellxs llevarían mascarilla si no estuviesen bajo tanta vigilancia policial.
Well, each COVID infection increases one's risk of Long COVID which spans a horrific spectrum of chronic symptoms: shortness of breath, heart palpitations, brain shrinkage, hearing loss, just to name a few.
There's also recently been an increase in severe cases of bird flu, and pneumonia.
When it comes to Long COVID, we're only at the beginning of knowing the full scale of the havoc it wreaks on the body. It'll be years before we fully understand it, and by then a huge chuck of the population will have become permanently disabled. Many already have and can't get treatment.
For healthy, fully vaccinated people who aren't carers or healthcare workers, Covid is fairly low risk now. For immuno-compromised people and those in contact with them? Not so much.
If you care about your own health and the health of people around you, it’s the best thing to do. Also if you pay attention at all to all the effects COVID has even on vaccinated people who appear to recover initially you realize how much easier it is to mask than to risk it.
Its almost like applying bans like that are impossible because nobody walks around with their genitals out.
So that douche Speaker can go stick his grummy hands in some bathroom in the Kremlin for all I care.

Look at the size of this bathroom. It is bigger than my apartment, better lighting, look more clean too.
😅😅😅

It sounds like the Dems you know weren't terribly committed. "This TRANS stuff"was a shill. An easy, controversial target.
We're all tired but they won't stop at just stripping trans rights.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere".
The transgender umbrella is problematic.
Transsexuals have existed as law abiding members of society and using spaces for their affirmed sex since the 30’s, let’s get real.
I would suggest that none of the letters were used before the 20th century. However, the people representing those have always existed.
History shows both of my points are true
Really?
Men twerking in the ladies riom?
But otherwise, everyone there is obeying the law.
. . .
So what's your problem?
So we aren't even pretending these are women now?
So women are just not allowed any respite from men?
No.
Not in any bathroom actually.
The one guy has a full on beard!
Are we not even PRETENDING these are women anymore?
And if it is, who cares?
Truly wild.
That's called an emergency.
Get back to me when you routinely enter the men's room to come back with humerous stories about the other sex.
💙💙💙💙💙❤️🔥
*Sometimes knowing irony keeps you from looking EXACTLY like how people say they see you, instead of projecting normalcy, & bridge to understanding.
Maybe next time set up a table with fresh baked goods, milk & table tent with " we're just people ".
lol
Says a fuck of a lot more about you than it does anybody else.
And more concerningly, why are you so intent on projecting that if it were not for a little icon of a stick person in a skirt on a door, you’d be in there raping everyone you could grab.

Your bigotry is only dwarfed by your cognitive inability.
Do better. For your “little girls” sake.
And if they're already in there....just so everyone is aware....I do judge people on whether or not they wash their hands.

Imagine being so insecure about your height as a man that you just start transvestigating women for being taller than you 💀
Almost like it didn't affect them.
If you have a link to the "valid study" I'd love to see it. However I'm sure it doesn't exist.
You're definitely an easy target for monsters to fool.
I guess Equality and Justice for ALL isn't in your vocabulary.
Another day, another traitor.
Have an amazing day.

Fun! That's right.🤣
It should be illegal for ppl to preach that stuff in public. It's all cult to me.
Hence the word "oppression".

Our society has been failing for nearly 100yrs.
I'm just trying to save the kids from the bs.
What you do is your choice as always
Fucking fools.
Men sexually twerking in the women's room - that should change a lot of minds!
Lol
Take that biatch.
She-roes.
I’d say I’m not sure why but it was fucken massive. Big enough to play a competent game of half court ball hockey in. So… I get this lol
I went through yours and you just seem like a pretty cool dude~. Keep at it!
But sure, the issue here is the timing of a dance party.
But that doesn't make him right here.
Trans folks just wanna be hotties and have fun and conservatives take that shit so personally oml
And the vibe just fit.😊
This is like... pretty normal behavior.
If they are barring you from the bathroom, for example, you can shove them (although i would advise to call security)
It pisses me off
That said, trans men are men and trans women are women and #TransRightsAreHumanRights

I did see a similar bathroom sign from a public bathroom in a Canadian restaurant (think it was Alberta). Bathroom appeared to be for all genders.
All the figures used are a moose(baby moose in a stroller, moose in a wheelchair etc).
Perhaps someone in Alberta can identify chain?
Moose, Goose or Beaver. Those are the three animals of Canada.
Much like Eagle, Turkey and Buffalo here in the States.
