I think the number of people out there who see this and relate it to trans people is vanishingly small.

  Is that due to education? Lack of understanding of the trans experience? Given that the number of trans people out there is already fairly small (single digit percentages), I wouldn't expect trans awareness to be wide. Especially internationally.

    Well I'm never going to understand any mental state that I don't explicitly live in. I don't understand why someone flips their lid and murders someone, and no amount of education changes that. I don't understand how someone who wins the lottery feels, and no amount of education will change that either. At some point we need to realize that it's not someone else's job to validate whatever feelings and internal shit that we got going on in our heads. At the end of the day, it's not anyone else's job to "identify" with your preferences, and if someone thinks that your sexual preferences are gross, that's actually OKAY. I think many people assume that everyone needs to be okay with everyone else's preferences, but not only is that totally unrealistic, but what does it accomplish? You're not going to rid malice and evil from the world by accepting everyone's preferences, so what are we trying to solve by "educating" everyone about transgenderism?

  Yes, it is tiny tiny minority, and we can safely ignore them...
