It seems pretty plausible there is a very large number of the groups I mention that rarely or even never sees the light of day due to how they are looked down upon by society at large. Some cannot enter the normal realms of human interaction, such as the workplace, so we are almost unaware of their existence.
People not even knowing one exists seems, in a way, an even more dispiriting sort of discrimination than that faced by the current persecuted group du jour.
More of these 'unseen' groups: the elderly, the extreme rural poor, the home bound, the institutionally insane, those suffering from debilitating disease, foster children shut away in group homes. And this is only considering groups we can easily access within our own nation. Much more even greater suffering in other countries.
Rarely do I see these groups mentioned in the media focus on the suffering and oppressed, but it seems intuitively a much larger grouping, and possibly enduring much more suffering than gender nonconformists.
