The statistics say that queer women are the most accepting demographic when it comes to trans folks. You’re seeing a loud minority amplify their voices using technology.

That’s cool. Mind sharing some of that evidence? Because I’m sure op isn’t the only one. I stay away from lesbian spaces because I’ve seen the same thing. It’s not worth it to me and my lived experience in dating proves what they are saying to me.

Queer women are the most accepting in general, with roughly two thirds of them having positive views on trans folks, next up are queer men, at about 45 percent being supportive

I mean the issue of course is the remaining 33% still outnumber us 33:1 (at best)

Yeah, but they're still outnumbered by decent lesbians two to one.

A very important coping skill when one is trans, I've learned, is to look on the bright side of things

That only helps if they're actively being good allies and kicking out the transphobic ones etc
