Furries, Bronies, And Bigfoot Believers: All The Absurd Groups That Are Bigger Than The Transgender Community

Estimates suggest that transgender people make up between 0.3 and 0.5% of the U.S. population. That translates to between 980,000 and 1.6 million people in total. Their demands for tolerance and acceptance of their lifestyle choices have engendered fierce debates about everything from public bathrooms to personal pronouns.
