I honestly think most trans people do not have an accurate sense of how few trans people there are.

Anecdotally-- a psych professor I took a class with told me that some of her students would demand to know survey data for trans people. She would tell them, "It is really hard to get data on trans people because there are so few." And they would be like, "But there are so many! I see them all online / on Tumblr!"

I honestly think there are a bunch of people on tumblr / the internet are faking being trans for internet points or being trans so they can live vicariously online.
