    joking and sarcasm aside,

    it was 3% actually willing to brave the incredibly dangerous and painful societal and emotional trauma of coming out as trans, whereas the number of those who identify but are too afraid to pursue it is a fair bit higher.

    The ‘trendy’ segment is a loud but nigh infinitesimal minority that hardly scratches the surface of accommodating the proportion of those who remain closeted for personal safety.

    If the figure is actually lower than 3%, though, I’d actually be sincerely shocked because I would have never expected to meet and befriend so many people who are trans if so; More than half my friends are trans (and I consider this a very fortunate circumstance <3) or maybe i’m just radiating some kind of safety aura where folks in the community know that they’ll find support and stability around me ^_^;
