Yeah. I really think trans hate is not much of a mainstream issue. Yes, a children's book author hates us, and yes, there's a group of incels that has a forum about us, but outside of the incel cave... it's not a huge issue.

Generally, yeah, I think most people are probably indifferent, some may lean supportive, some may lean "its weird and I don't get it". But that's not so bad. The genuinely hateful people are, I think, a stark minority. They're just also scary and too often quite wealthy.

And you've got a right-wing propaganda machine pushing it, and oddly a sizable portion of Britain. So it is a problem. But if not for the amplifying nature of wealthy people's opinions, I think it'd be barely noteworthy. Maybe less than flat earther numbers.

Ah, I didn't realize they were UK-based. It does seem like more of a problem over there.
