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.
