Why is there so much hate for trans people.

We are not even .08% of the population in the US but this is all they can focus on. we have bigger issues like growing homeless, rise in food and living cost and the rise in rent and house cost. Yet people want to control my life and tell me what i cant and cant be. Im lucky I live in cali and im half way done with my transition. There is all this negative news its scary.

Why does it seems as if there are more trans people today than there was in the past? There are about 8,000,000,000 people in the world so all countries should have the same ratio of trans people because we are all humans. Or is this just a problem in America? Is it because of the food the kids eat? Or is it because of something else like an evolutionary change?

Is what a problem? That there are trans people? Or that there are people who go out of their way to make trans people's lives a misery?

Probably because, at last, it is becoming acceptable in some places. So more trans, cds, lesbian, bi, gay, etc., people feel safe enough to be seen and heard. They were always there.

@Diotrephes You'd get killed if you talked about even being gay nonetheless trans. Now they can't anymore haha. They also didn't have a word for it back then, it could be that people always felt that way but it was caste off as illness even though it's not.

@SatanBurger Well, things are getting to be more tolerated except for in the Red States. Maybe humans will achieve equality in another 100,000 years.

@Diotrephes Yeah for me I wouldn't feel the need to fight if some politician wasn't trying to put anti gay laws out consistently. All this kind of just makes everyone defensive. Like we have the constitution but it doesn't seem set in stone, like we have that plus state rights so if one thing says another and one state wants another thing, we have several states that seem to develop into a cult or something.

@SatanBurger One of the favorite hobbies of social animals such as humans is to control who others can have sex with. It is an ingrained behavior and requires a conscious effort to change. Most people operate in the default mode and try to control others' behaviors.
