Again with this nonsense? The percentage of trans people is highly unlikely to increase https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33568480#33576777 https://news.yc

  Why is this nonsense? The global trans hormone replacement market is growing at 6% / year through 2028. The number of people who identify as trans has grown sharply in just the past 5 years. It sounds like you’re uncomfortable with more folks identifying as trans? Or are you unsure of the revenue potential for pharma companies? I am confused why you are upset at these market trends

    It sounds like you misunderstand the fact that being trans has a stigma attached to it and the same percentage of the population has always been trans but more are comfortable coming out as trans now. The percentage is not actually changing. It's the same as coming out of the closet as homosexual, people used to get beaten and killed for it but not as much anymore in the US. That's what stigma does and public perception has been changing to be more accepting, that's all.
