OK, so I saw this on Breitbart then looked for another source in case any of our missing Progressives come back and scream "Breitbart!!!!". Couldn't find it on any other mainstream media, but he said it and this is his position.
What percentage of the population do Transgender comprise? .000001%. Total LGBTxyaz is maybe 1% - 3%. So Transgender Equality is the same as Civil Rights for Blacks and other minorities? Isn't that minimizing the issue just a bit?
Biden is tripping over himself to look Woke, PC, SJW, and Progressive because nobody cares about him anymore. I bet Comcast is pissed!

That's a great question, so I did a little research. What I found was:
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/30/484253324/1-4-million-adults-identify-as-transgender-in-america-study-says
The numbers fluctuate by state, but they also double the findings from a decade ago: An estimated 1.4 million people – around 0.6 percent of U.S. adults — identify as transgender, according to a new study.
That seems awfully high. But with those numbers, there are 56x as many transgenders as there are white supremacists out there.

Only about 25,000 Americans are hardcore ideological activists for the white supremacist movement, a tiny fraction of the white population.

^^^^^Great! Thanks. It is amazing the Media and Democrats can convince a lot of people to form Public Policy based on a very, very small percentage of the population. Purely to Virtue Signal to the larger, Progressive audience.
They've also convinced a lot of people that White Supremacist = White Nationalist. And with Entertainment, Media and Social Media you think most couples are Mixed Race, and/or with relatives, friends, spouses, neighbors, etc that are LGBT. Very persuasive.

That transgender number seemed way too high to me. I think it's the difference between "identify as" vs. "really is". An interesting number comes from https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/09/upshot/the-search-for-the-best-estimate-of-the-transgender-population.html
Of Americans who participated in the 2010 census, 89,667 had changed their names (to the opposite gender) and 21,833 had also changed their sex.
About the same number of "actual" transgenders as "actual" white supremacists. My guess is that more people want to identify as transgenders to get attention than want to identify as white supremacist to get attention.

They've also convinced a lot of people that Republican = White Supremacist.

That's true. The Media/Democrat alliance has painted ALL Trump supporters, and Republicans as White Supremacists. Despicable.
